<br />of the Humane Society are estimated at $35,000 per acre. , <br />2. Additional land development charges have not been calculated. <br />3. The relatively small size of this project makes it possible to acquire funding <br />from contingency or other facility revenues. <br />D. OPT'IONS CONSIDERED <br />1. The cost of this project would be reduced if the facility was located on <br />property currently owned by the county. Space may be available at the health campus in <br />space vacated by the juvenile department or in the 3060 building vacated by the parole and <br />probation staff. <br />2. Discussion also considered the possibility of a joint facility combined with the <br />Humane Society. However, given the differing missions, ndin sources and operational <br />practices of these two entities, the development of a common facility does not appear to be <br />practical at the present time. <br />3. If the county determines that it is desirable to build a kennel in the future, <br />additional land can be purchased at that time. <br />E. RISKS AND LIABILITIES <br />1. The department has included information that indicates that annual funding <br />for operations is in jeopardy. The department needs a stable source of funding before new <br />long term facilities are constructed. <br />2. More research is also required on an environmentally safe way to wash and <br />sanitize the trucks. It appears that it will be possible to use the facilities at the Humane <br />Society. <br />PAGE 29 <br />ksj/cd/Facilities.Int 03/18/95 <br />
