Animal Services Facility Replacement Project
This budget note requests the Chair’s Office to direct the Department of County Assets (DCA) to establish a project leadership team for the Multnomah County Animal Services Facility Replacement Project and to provide quarterly Board Briefings during FY 2025. This note expands on the program description of Program Offer 78234 in DCA. This note requests that Board Briefings should be coordinated and presented in partnership with the Department of Community Services. The project leadership team and DCA are expected to seek a FAC-1 approval process no later than March 31, 2025, in order to provide the Board with enough information to consider full funding of the capital project in the budget process for FY 2026. Further, this note asks the County Chair to direct staff to bring forward options to finance a facility including using our existing capital debt capacity.
