Title
Consider recommendations regarding a request to increase the authorized amount of the waiver of competitive bidding for veterinary food supplies by $20,000.00 for Fiscal Years (FYs) 2022-2023, 2023-2024 and 2024-2025, as follows: (4/5 Vote Required)
a) Authorize the County Purchasing Agent to procure food for shelter animals through the Hill’s Food, Shelter & Love program by Hill’s Pet Nutrition, Inc. at an increased amount of $20,000.00 for each Fiscal Year 2022-2023, 2023-2024, and 2024-2025 with an increased total amount not to exceed $180,000.00 over the three-year period;
b) Approve Budget Revision Request No. 0008680 to increase appropriations for the Animal Services FY 2022-2023 Budget to add $20,000.00 for animal food, funded by a release of designation; and
c) Find that the proposed action is an administrative and fiscal activity of the County, which will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment and is therefore not a “project” as defined for purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4) or (b)(5).
