Agenda Item #86 Item Title Restated and Consolidated Interlocal Agreement for Emergency Shelters in Clay County between the Clay County School Board and the Clay County Board of County Commissioners. Issue/Rationale The current Interlocal Agreement for Emergency Shelters has been in existence since 1999. Since that time, there have been two (2) amendments. This Interlocal restates and consolidates the original and two (2) amendments into a single document. In addition, this agreement incorporates a new addition, which pertains to the sheltering of pets. Ever since Hurricane Katrina, there has been a significant interest in the protection of pets. Pets, such as dogs and cats, have become close and needed comfort companions for our citizen's, especially the elderly. Studies and research of past incidents have shown the elderly will relocate from an unsafe home to a safe shelter that offers pet friendly sheltering. After many meetings and staff discussions, we are including a provision for the sheltering of pets within three (3) of our schools, Keystone Heights Jr-Sr High School, Clay High School and Orange Park High School. Attached to the Interlocal Agreement is the Standard Operating Procedures for administering a pet shelter. Recommended Action Approve the Restated and Consolidated Interlocal Agreement for Emergency Shelters in Clay County between the Clay County School Board and the Clay County Board of County Commissioners which now contains pet friendly shelters.
