We ask you to include the following: a) The cesspits and septic fields at the County's animal shelter on Stock Island were finally retired in February 2003. The new monthly expense of $300jmonth ($270 for sewer and $30 for electric to run the pump) needs to be added to our budget to cover the mandated monthly sewer hookup costs. This expense has NOT been budgeted before, and was not included in any previous bids or budget estimates. b) Per our contract, a CPI increase of 3% of our budget. We consider offering medical benefits to be a critical component of attracting and keeping valuable employees. We are facing increases of our premiums from $2132jmonth to $3665jmonth, in spite of continuing with a $2000 deductible: the CPI will help offset this increase. This one line item will more than absorb the CPI and does not even address the other increases in. other insurance,~verage, and increase costs of supplies, etc. Thank you for your consideration. ~WYO~t(~ Gw n Hawtof, M.D. President, Florida Keys SPCA, Inc.

DEBBIE FREDERICK AIDE TO THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR 1 . d '\7'\7S'\7- ~6~ - sm; UIWp~ oJ s~~aqo~ I sawer dE~:~1 EO 91 unr June 14, 2003 Mr. James Roberts Monroe County Administrator 1100 Simonton Street Key West, FL 33040 Dear Mr. Roberts, The Florida Keys SPCA has looked critically at next year's budget. We certainly realize and appreciate Monroe County's fiscal constraint. Nonetheless, certain items need to be addressed. 1. The 60/40-budget split between FKSPCA and SUFA: We agreed to the split that in the "spirit of cooperation" you asked from us one year ago. As the County statistics bear out, the FKSPCA is bearing the greatest burden of animal sheltering and responding to calls for service. We are accepting animals from outside our service area (i.e. SUFA's service area). The reality is the FKSPCA is handling more than 70% of the workload while receiving 60% of the funding. This inequity needs to be rectifred, with a budget adjustment of $53,900. (See enclosed figures) 2. The sewer project is nearly complete. The FKSPCA has been paying the monthly bill since February 2003 in the amount of N$300/month. This Is a budget item that never existed before now. The County mandated the hookup, and the retiring of the cesspits. The County needs to fund this item beginning with the 2003- 2004 budget in the amount of $3600. 3. The FKSPCA ;s mandated by our contract to enforce County Ordinances and, as part of that mandate, we write citations, pursue animal cruelty and abuse cases, etc. A County judge has advised us that we cannot represent ourselves in court and must have legal counsel present. We have never budgeted for legal fees. Rather than ask for an addition to our budget for legal fees, we ask the County Commission to allow the County Attorney's office to continue to assist the animal shelters With any animal enforcement cases in which county ordinances or state statutes have been violated. Without some type of support, the animal shelters will find themselves unable to pursue inhumane animal cases due to lack of funds. Since these are the County's ordinances being enforced, it is prudent and cost effective to enlist the County Attorney's assistance in these cases; our status as independent contractor should not make any of the animal shelters ineligible for legal assistance when we are, in fact, conducting County business. 4. The 3% CPI increase is necessary to help offset the cost of increased expenses such as our employee health insurance which has increased 33%, even with a $2000 deductible. We consider this benefit essential to attracting and retaining good employees, as well as being morally correct and we know the County feels the same way. In addition, our Workman's Compensation insurance increases 25% for the new contract year. 5. We ask the County to reinstate the County's previous policy of allowing the Key West Shelter Director to live on the adjoining property south of the Animal Shelter. The FKSPCA takes great pride in the quality of animal care and high level of service provided to the citizens of Monroe County these last 4 years. We require your support and funding of the above items to continue to provide that superior level of dedication and service.
