Recommendation to authorize City Manager, or designee, to execute a contract, and any necessary documents including any necessary subsequent amendments, with the Helen Sanders Cat Protection and Welfare Society, of Boulder, CO, to partner with Long Beach Animal Care Services to take cats and kittens into its care directly from Long Beach Animal Care Services for the purpose of rehoming, providing spay/neuter education to adopters, and arranging for routine and other necessary medical care services to cats and kittens transferred into their care, for an annual contract amount not to exceed $50,000, from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2025, with two optional five-year renewals, at the discretion of the City Manager.  (Citywide)
Vice Mayor Richardson. On the motion is Cory nine zero. Thank you. 15, please. Item 15, a report from Parks, Recreation and Marine recommendation to authorize city manager to execute a contract with the Helen Sanders Cat Protection and Welfare Society to partner with Long Beach Animal Care Services to take cats and kitten into its care directly from Long Beach Animal Care Services for an annual contract amount not to exceed $50,000 citywide . Looking for a most significant. I see. I see Superman hand up at the council on its arrow. So move. Superman sort of construe anything, Councilman. Yes, I'd like to make the motion, but I do have an amendment that I will read and that is approve cap pass agreement and direct staff to report back to council in 60 days with a formal operational policy that supports all city's approved rescue partners to receive $100 for the mandated care sterilization. I think I read that sewn up, but the staff has that. So what I'm asking is that they come back in 60 days for a way that we can take care of our local rescue folks for the sterilization requirements. So this is a report coming back in 60 days. Okay. Tom, could you just quickly respond to the council, react to the the amendment? Yeah, we understand the motion. It's something that's been worked out with Parks Rec and Marine. We can certainly look into that and come back with a fiscal impact and how we could move something like that forward. So happy to come back in 60 days. Outstanding. Councilman Massaro, you accept that's your second. Yeah. Right. I saw a bunch of hands go up and then come down. Is everyone good when you talk about it? All right. Is there any public comment. Up. Here I'd. Like to you. Okay, Councilman. Thank you. I want to appreciate Councilmember Cooper. And I know my staff is looking into understanding what our cost per cat was and how we can also reward the local nonprofits that are already doing this great work. I just want to make sure that no one is left out and that we have a comprehensive plan. It's great when there's one organization that wants to do it, but just because other organizations have been doing it for a long time at zero cost doesn't mean that. That's right. So I appreciate the amendment and I will support that. Ambassador. Thank you. Let's let's have a look now. Public common. How about we call it the government? Okay, so we've got the Commonwealth, right? If there's any members of the public that would like to speak on this item, please use the race hand feature or her name. CNN That concludes public comment. Fantastic roll call vote please. Councilwoman Sandy has I. Councilwoman Allen. Hi. Councilwoman Price. I. Councilman Sabina. Hi. Councilwoman Mongo. I. Councilwoman Sara. I. Councilmember Oranga. I. Councilman Austin. Hi. Vice Mayor Richardson. Yes.
