Ratify the application for and authorize the acceptance of a grant from Petco Love in the amount of $100,000.00 for the support of animal welfare programs; 2. Authorize the use of accrued interest in an amount up to $5,000.00; 3. Authorize execution of the grant agreement; and 4. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Grants Operating Other Fund in the amount of $100,000.00 upon receipt of the grant. DISCUSSION: The Animal Welfare Division of the Code Compliance Department seeks out small funding opportunities of various dollar amounts from pet focused organizations, like Petco Love, to offset costs associated with animal welfare for the benefit of Fort Worth animal shelter pets. These costs range from hosting adoption events to providing medical services which may include enhanced or aggressive treatment options, spay and neuter, distemper, parvo and heartworm medication, or medical treatment for major trauma. Funds may also be used for educational programs like responsible pet ownership and post adoption training. The grant funds will be made available by Petco Love after both Petco Love and the City have signed the grant agreement. No budget will be set up for any activity until after a grant award has been received. Indirect costs are not applicable. The grant will serve ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS. FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION: The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, in the Grants Operating Other Fund. The Code Compliance Department (and Financial Management Services) will be responsible for the collection and deposit of funds due to the City. Prior to an expenditure being incurred, the Code Compliance Department has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds. This is an advance grant. Submitted for City Manager's Office W.
