(3) To provide licensing services for animals adopted or impounded at the Humane
Society shelter whose owner resides within the City of Federal Way. The license service

the Base Compensation may accrue as otherwise set forth in this Agreement.
In 2024 a COLA plus 1% price increase will be applied to the Base Compensation with
COLA being defined as the annual average: of the Seattle -Tacoma -Bellevue metro area
CPI-U as determined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The same formula will be applied to 2025 with an annual COLA plus 1% increase and
again in 2026 with a further COLA plus 1 % increase.
Monthly payments are due on or before the 10th of each month, with the final payment
due by January 10 of the following year. Any payment in full over 60 days late may
cause a suspension.of service and will automatically be charged a 1% penalty,

fees collected from the public for animals accepted into the shelter since the Society has
factored retention of such fees into the cost of the contract.

Federal Way and other entities with whom the City of Federal Way has contracted.

and cannot provide overnight monitoring of animals. Animals needing emergency
medical care, will be taken to an appropriate facility to be treated prior to booking with
the Society. For the purposes of this contract, emergency medical treatment is defined
as a level of care higher than the Society can provide, such as obvious broken bones,
trauma, or other medical issues that would require intensive care and monitoring. Until
the Humane Society accepts the animal, the City of Federal Way is responsible for all
after-hours emergency medical treatment of any animal that the City impounds.
(5) During hours that the Shelter is open, the Society normally has a veterinarian
available to provide routine veterinary care; however, in the event that the Humane
Society does not have a veterinarian available to provide routine veterinary care at the
Shelter, any animals needing such care shall be the responsibility of the City of Federal
Way. The Society shall immediately inform Federal Way Animal Control when the
Society does not have a veterinarian available to provide routine veterinary care at the
Shelter and the expected duration. The City of Federal Way is responsible for
transporting the animal to the chosen veterinary clinic and to the Humane Society once
the animal is stabilized. The Society will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain
routine veterinary services for the Shelter during the life of this Agreement,
(6) The City of Federal Way animal control officers will not bring known feral cats to
the Society unless they can be neutered and returned to field. It is accepted that stray
cats frequently cannot be identified as true strays or feral cats and this clause only
relates to known feral cats and/or members of feral cat colonies. On the same principle
the Society cannot accept feral cat colonies that cannot be returned to field following
spay/neuter surgery as the only options would be euthanasia and it would therefore be
more humane to leave the feral cats where they are.
(7) The City of Federal Way animal control officers will completely and accurately
perform the data input required for shelter admission as well as scan each animal for
microchips. The Society will provide the necessary training for the computer intake
requirements. The Society will create the shelter admissions policy and provide it to the
City of Federal Way.
0
(8) To hold the Society harmless from any damages or attorneys' fees or costs incurred
by the Society, as a result of litigation which (a) names the Society and (b) involves a
City of Federal Way ordinance that is declared illegal or unenforceable and upon which
the Society relied in the performance of its obligations under this agreement.
MUTUAL COVENANTS AND UNDERSTANDINGS — both parties hereto agree to the
following conditions:
(1) All persons employed by the Society to perform its obligations under this contract
shall be employees of the Society and not of the City of Federal Way with the proviso
that the Society may from time to time have to use contract veterinarians.
(2) Either party can terminate this contract upon 180 days' written notice; Provided that
either party may terminate upon 60 days' written notice for breach of any material clause
herein. To facilitate timely renewal or termination, the parties agree to commence
negotiations for the 2027 to 2029 contract by August 1, 2026, and to gather and provide
to each other all pertinent data reasonably necessary to meaningfully negotiate.
(3) 1Vlodificat€on. This instrument constitutes the entire Agreement between the parties
and supersedes all prior agreements. No modification or amendment shall be valid
unless evidenced in writing, properly agreed, to and signed by both parties. In the event
either party shall desire to renegotiate any provision of the agreement, the party shall
provide 90 days' notice to the other party. The notice shall identify the provision or
provisions to be renegotiated, the requested changes, and shall state the reasons for
the request. The party receiving the request shall respond in writing on or before the
end of the 90-day period.

Agreement shall be in writing and, except as expressly provided elsewhere in this
Agreement, shall be deemed to have been given at the time of delivery if personally

MEMORANDUM
DATE: January 12, 2021
TO: Jim Ferrell, Mayor
FROM: Andy J. Hwang, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Professional Services Agreement with the Humane Society for Tacoma
and Pierce County
Financial Impacts.:
The following is a summary of the financial impacts of this six -year professional services
agreement between the City and the Humane Society of Tacoma and Pierce County: The
annual base cost to the City for 2021, 2022, and 2023 will be $76,000 per year. In 2024, an
increase of COLA plus 1 % will be applied. COLA is defined as the annual average of the
Seattle -Tacoma -Bellevue metro area CPI-U as determined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The same formula will be applied to 2025 with an annual COLA plus 1 % increase and again
in 2026 with a further COLA plus 1% increase. Since 2011 the CPI has been between 1.2
and 3.2 each year. Also, the Society will retain all pet license fees.
There are also additional charges for impounded or quarantined animals held over three days:
The first three days are covered under our flat rate agreement and then after three days, board
will be charged to City at the rate of $26.50 per day in 2021, $27.30 per day in 2022, and
$28.10 per day in 2023. From 2024 through to 2026 the rates will increase each year by
COLA plus 1%.
Backs!round Information:
Our Animal Services Unit has contracted with the Humane Society since the inception of our
Animal Services Unit in 2011. The City uses the Humane Society for stray animals,
impounded animals, disposal of unclaimed animal carcasses, and for licensing services.
The Humane Society plays a vital part in reuniting lost animals with owners, in adopting
found animals with their forever families, and in animal abuse investigations. They hold our
animals that have been quarantined due to an attack and they have holding areas for animals
that have been declared vicious or dangerous.
The police department explored alternatives to the Humane Society but ultimately
recommends continuing our relationship with them. By continuing our relationship with the
Humane Society, the people and animals of Federal Way benefit from the continuity and
from the Humane Society's mission of enhancing animal welfare.
