Explanation
* The city has interlocal agreements with six Mecklenburg County incorporated towns (Cornelius, Davidson, Huntersville, Matthews, Mint Hill, and Pineville) for the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) Animal Care and Control Division (AC&C) to provide animal-related services.
* Services covered under these agreements include ordinance enforcement, sheltering, animal licensing, calls for service, dispatch, billing reconciliation, and administration services related for animal bite reports.
* Services provided are based on the individual agreements and the specific needs of each jurisdiction.
* The current agreements will expire on June 30, 2021.
* The new agreements will be in effect for five years and price per call for service rate will be reviewed and adjusted annually.
* When AC&C impounds, seizes, and shelters animals, the towns are charged impound and sheltering fees to cover the costs of intake and housing of the animals.
* In Fiscal Year (FY) 2021, the city's cost is $200 per call for service.
* For FY 2022, CMPD recommends adjusting the calls for service cost to $240.
* This adjustment is based on a cost analysis of AC&C response to each call for service and represents fully allocated cost recovery for the city.
Fiscal Note
Funding: All revenue from fees received will be deposited in the city's General Fund.
