Full summary

The Department of Animal Services initiated this file on May 6, 2026, to pursue grant funding from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) in support of California's wildfire and disaster preparedness framework. The grant is intended to strengthen the city's animal services operations during emergencies, though the specific scope of work, funding amount, and deliverables are not detailed in the documents filed to date. As of May 6, 2026, the file was referred simultaneously to two committees: the Arts, Parks, Libraries, and Community Enrichment Committee and the Budget and Finance Committee. This dual referral suggests that both programmatic and fiscal review will be required before any action is taken. The file remains open with an expiration date of May 6, 2028, giving the committees two years to evaluate and act on the proposal. No further activity has been recorded since initial submission and referral.
