Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Amendment to the Agreement with the County of
San Mateo for Animal Control Services to Extend the Agreement for One Year
Administrative Services Director/City Clerk Louis presented the report.
Councilmember Oliva presented a report from the Ad Hoc Subcommittee and thanked Lori Morton-
Feazell, Animal Control and Licensing Manager/ Chief Deputy Registrar, for taking time to meet with
them and answer their questions and concerns. She recommends that the Council proceeds with the
agreement.
Councilmember Papan stated that the presentation with Ms. Feazell was helpful and addressed the
concerns regarding the vans for the animals, wages, and the salary of the Board President.
Lori Morton-Feazell, Animal Control and Licensing Manager/ Chief Deputy Registrar, presented to the
Council and provided background on the agreement with the Peninsula Humane Society. She noted that
the contract does not delineate the salary to Humane Society staff, and that maybe this will be included in
the future agreement. There is a request for proposals (RFP) that is scheduled to be released in the fall, for
a new contract and possibly new vendor. There is a committee comprised of cities and County staff for
the RFP and Millbrae will be included in the committee.
Vice Mayor Schneider inquired if the RFP would include parity in the salary between the President and
staff; she also wanted to ensure that employees have personal protective equipment (PPE).

by the Peninsula Humane Society and was built with donor dollars. The facility at 1200 Airport Boulevard
is a County facility built on County land. Mayor Holober inquired if adoption services are not included in
this agreement. Ms. Feazell-Morton stated that was current, those services are not in this agreement; the

language stating if the President’s salary is over a certain dollar amount, then the RFP is non-responsive.
Ms. Feazell-Morton stated that this would have to go through County Counsel.

and out of our control. Mayor Holober stated that there may be limitations in the RFP regarding how
much goes towards to the President’s salary.

included in the RFP.

certain performance standards and criteria be met.
