RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation Concerning the Extension of the Interlocal Agreement between Escambia County, Florida, and the Santa Rosa Island Authority for Animal Control Officer Services on Santa Rosa Island - John Robinson, Division Manager, Animal Services

That the Board approve the extension of the Interlocal Agreement between Escambia County, Florida, and the Santa Rosa Island Authority, relating to Animal Control Officer Services on Santa Rosa Island for one 12-month term.

[Funding: Fund 001, General Fund, Cost Center 250207, Account 51201]

BACKGROUND:

Escambia County Animal Control and Santa Rosa Island Authority have been successfully operating under this type of Agreement for the past two fiscal years. Escambia County Animal Control responds to complaints of animal control violations on a priority basis based on the severity of the complaint. This made it difficult to respond to code violations on the beaches in a timely manner. This Agreement allowing the Santa Rosa Island Authority to have an officer present to patrol the beaches has resolved this issue.

As provided in the Interlocal Agreement, the Santa Rosa Island Authority has agreed to contribute the sum of $42,000 to fund an Animal Control Officer (ACO) on Santa Rosa Island for a 12-month term, with any additional costs borne by the County. Upon mutual agreement of both parties, this Agreement may be renewed for up to two additional twelve month terms. During the 12 month term of the Agreement, the County shall allocate up to 2,080 hours of ACO services on Santa Rosa Island, which shall not exceed 60 service hours per week.

This approval would be for the first of two potential renewals for an additional 12-month term.
