COMMENTS:  This item approves an Interlocal Agreement hosted by the City of Irving which will allow for regional Animal Services programs to request and provide assistance to one another when they are unable to meet their citizens' needs due to disasters and other emergency scenarios.  This item has no fiscal impact.

SUMMARY OF ITEM


The City of Plano Animal Services (PAS) is a leader in animal welfare programs and  has available resources that could positively impact other communities when their own programs are temporarily incapacitated.  At some point, a disaster may result in PAS needing assistance from other jurisdictions.  This Interlocal Agreement provides a way for help to be requested and given during situations where going through a lengthy approval process could result in unnecessary delays that could impact lives.

Strategic Plan Goal:

Financially Strong City with Service Excellence, Safe Large City, Partnering for Community Benefit

Plano Tomorrow Plan Pillar:

Social Environment
