TO: Mayor Richard C. Irvin
FROM: Anna Payton, Animal Control Manager
DATE: January 3, 2020
SUBJECT:
Ratification for payment and expenses for the remainder of 2019 to Patterson Veterinary Supply, Inc. for various medications and vaccines for the animals in the care of Animal Care and Control not to exceed $35,100.
PURPOSE:
For Council approval to pay Patterson Veterinary Supply, Inc. for medications and vaccines for the animals in care of Animal Care & Control.
BACKGROUND:
A large volume of vaccinations had been donated in 2016 and 2017 which greatly reduced the amount needed for this account number. This created an underestimation of cost for this line and thus an underestimation for budget. The cost for 2019 is similar to cost for 2018. The primary vendor used for this account has been Patterson Veterinary Supply, Inc.
To date, the city has paid $24,254.60 with costs of $10,560.00 for the remainder of the year.
DISCUSSION:
The 2019 budget for account 101-1845-440.61-26 (Supplies-General/Medications) was approved at $30,000 to fund various medications and vaccines.
An invitation to bid was completed mid-2019 and approved by City Council in November 2019. Animal Care & Control will begin using the awarded vendor, Midwest Veterinary Supply, January 1, 2020.
A budget transfer in the amount of $5,100.00 has been submitted to fund the remainder of 2019 expenses.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
This ratification and approval must be approved in order to ensure payment of invoices and continued care for the animals in the care of Animal Care and Control.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff request the ratification be forwarded to the Finance Committee for approval.
