The donors have specifically indicated the funds are to be used for construction costs and related medical equipment needed to create a treatment room at the ACF. The donation is restricted to construction costs and related treatment room medical equipment. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Enviromnental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the Califomia Enviromnental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that there is no possibility that the activity may have a significant effect on the enviromnent; therefore, pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no enviromnental review is necessary. RECOMMENDATION Council adopt resolution. BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Not applicable. DISCUSSION The Animal Care Facility has received a donation totaling $11,600. The funds will be used to design and build an area for animals that come in sick or injured that will require immediate treatment and/or observation by medical staff. Currently, these animals are kept in the surgical prep area adj acent to the surgery room and this makes for unsanitary and contagious conditions for healthy animals being prepared for surgery. I-I 2/12/08, Item~ Page 2 of2 Staff proposes to convert an existing hall and euthanasia room into a large open treatment area with two additional enclosed areas for upper respiratory isolation and critical isolation. This will free up cage space in the surgical prep area that is adjacent to the surgery room, making this an ideal surgical recovery area. A diagram of the modifications is attached. DECISION MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found no property holdings within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action. FISCAL IMPACT There is no net impact to the General Fund. These facility modifications and related medical equipment will be funded by the acceptance of said donated funds and appropriating $1,600 to the Services and Supplies category and $10,000 to the Capital Expenses category of the Engineering and General Services Department's budget for the Animal Care Facility.
