Since1952, the County has contracted with the Peninsula Humane Society (PHS) for animal control field andsheltering service. All 20 cities in the County have contracted with the County for these services.Historically, cities have taken advantage of the economies of pooling resources in order to realize lowercosts for services than each city would likely achieve by providing its own services.The mandated animal control functions are provided by PHS in the newly constructed building at 12Airport Boulevard in San Mateo, while the charitable, mission-driven functions, such as animal adoption,are provided at the Tom and Anette Lantos Center for Compassion at 1450 Rollins Road in Burlingame.The City entered into current animal control services agreement between the County of San Mateo andthe 20 cities in the County, which will expire on June 30, 2020. This amendment will extend the term ofthe agreement for one additional year. The County is evaluating its existing agreement with PHS and thisextension will allow for the completion of the evaluation prior to making recommendations on a long-term agreement. The PHS has already approved a one-year extension to its agreement with the County.The Animal Control services that PHS will continue to provide through June 30, 2021 include:Rescue injured animalsCapture at-large or stray animalPage 1 of 216598747.1
