 City of Hermosa Beach --- 10-16-97
AGREEMENT FOR MARINE AND TERRESTRIAL WILDLIFE RESCUE SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that City Council:
The city Animal Control Services does not have the appropriate means or equipment to deal with stranded sea mammals that periodically wash up on shore and draw a lot of people and media attention. In the majority of these beached mammals incidents, the contact with persons who are attempting to help is only causing more harm to the animal. The animals could be deceased, dangerous or merely acting naturally.
The Whale Rescue Team, headed by Peter Wallerstein their President, has offered to contract with the city on an "as needed" basis, wildlife and rescue care and transport services as fully detailed in the scope of the Services Contract submitted. The agreement has been reviewed by our City Attorney's office.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Total compensation for all services to be provided in this agreement will be in the sum of one dollar ($1.00) annually.
