A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROHNERT PARK
AUTHORIZING AND APPROVING AN ADJUSTMENT IN THE
FELINE ADOPTION FEE
WHEREAS, the Rohnert Park Animal Shelter currently has the lowest feline adoption
fee in Sonoma County; and
WHEREAS, an increase in the feline adoption fee will help offset the increased costs of
food and medical costs, which have risen significantly in the last three years; and
WHEREAS, the requested increase would keep Rohnert Parks feline adoption fee in the
low to mid -level range as compared to neighboring shelters and would not have a negative
impact on the adoption of cats; and
and
WHEREAS, it is in the interests of the city to operate in a fiscally responsible manner;
WHEREAS, the Council finds that the fees listed in Attachment A do not exceed the
cost for providing the service;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of
Rohnert Park authorizes and approves an adjustment in the feline adoption fee from $60.00 to
$80.00 as set forth in the Animal Shelter Fee Schedule, attached hereto as Attachment A.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that City Council authorizes the Animal Shelter
Supervisor to lower the feline adoption fee to $60.00 no more than 15 days each fiscal year to
encourage feline adoptions, particularly during the kitten season.
DULY AND REGULARLY ADOPTED this 8th day of May, 2007.
