Di Gennaro Staff Contact /Phone #: Tamara Lundstrom, X6000 AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Discussion regarding BOCC approval and direction to staff to create and institute standardized statistical reporting criteria for Animal Control Shelter Provider monthly activity reports. ITEM BACKGROUND: The individualized variables in monthly activity reporting from one Animal Shelter provider to the other should be eliminated and fully standardized by the County to provide a clear and reliable picture of shelter activities; and to properly monitor and oversee the County Animal Shelters and the services provided by the contractors to the public. The shelter providers do not have standardized statistical reporting criteria set by the County, and record their monthly activities in different ways as they deem appropriate, For example, service calls; it should be clearly standardized as to what the County expects to be recorded as a service call, and what requires the generation of a service call written report. Bite cases, and cruelty/neglect cases are other important areas which need specific reporting criteria. PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: The County standardized the monthly report document formats for the animal shelters.

I" BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY Meeting Date: June 16" 2010 Division: BOCC Dis 3 Bulk Item: Yes No ----X Department: Staff Contact Person/Phone #: Carol Schreck" 292-3430 AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Discussion regarding the current status of the Deepwater Horizon oil leak and its current and potential impact on Monroe County including: - Securing assistance from the Federal government and BP to offset emerging economic damages resulting from the misperception that oil is currently present in Keys waters - Securing Federal support to minimize possible environmental damage to the Florida Keys should oil reach our near-shore waters and beaches - Review of plans to protect local ecosystems - Clarification of communication pathways among government entities, BP and local volunteer forces - Utilization of local contractors and those familiar with Keys waters and environments in any potential clean-up effort. ITEM BACKGROUND: On April 20, 2010, a semi-submersible exploratory offshore drilling rig owned and operated by Transocean Ltd on behalf of BP in the Gulf of Mexico exploded causing a massive oil spill threatening the coast of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Texas, and Florida. Current estimates for the original and a secondary leak are between 20,000 and 100,000 barrels per day. No oil from this rupture has yet reached the Keys and it is still unknown whether it ever will. NOAA experts report that should any oil reach the Keys, the environmental damage will be quite different from that being experienced in Louisiana; it will be in the form of tar balls, less widespread and viscous than in other Gulf states. Nonetheless, local business owners are already suffering from the misperception that the Keys are being impacted. Residents are eager to understand plans to combat any environmental impacts and to participate in the clean-up effort, yet feel stymied by a lack of direction on how to proceed.
