7. Regional Revenue Generation and Licensing Revenue Support a. The Parties intend that the provision of Animal Services becomes significantly more financially sustainable over the initial three year term of this Agreement through the development of New Regional Revenue and the generation of additional Licensing Revenue. The County will develop proposals designed to support this goal. The County will consult with the Joint City -County Committee before proceeding with efforts to implement proposals to generate New Regional Revenue. b. The Parties do not intend for the provision of Animal Services or receipt of such Services under this Agreement to be a profit-making enterprise. Where a Contracting Party receives revenues in excess of its costs under this Agreement (including costs of PAWS shelter service and Enhanced Control Service, if applicable), they will be reinvested in the Program to reduce the costs of other Contracting Parties and to improve service delivery: the cost allocation formulas of this Agreement are intended to achieve this outcome. c. Licensing Revenue Support. i. In 2013, the County will provide licensing revenue support to the nine Contracting Cities identified on Exhibit C-5 (the "Licensing Revenue Support Cities"). ii. The City may request licensing revenue support from the County in 2014 and 2015 by executing Attachment A to Exhibit F. The terms and conditions under which such licensing revenue support will be provided are further described at Exhibit C-5 and Exhibit F. Except as otherwise provided in Exhibit C-5 with respect to Licensing Revenue Support Cities with a Licensing Revenue Target of over $20,000 (per Table 1 of Exhibit C-5), provision of licensing revenue support in 2014 and 2015 is subject to the County determining it has capacity to provide such services, with priority allocation of any available services going first to Licensing Revenue Support Cities on a first-come, first-served basis and thereafter being allocated to other Contracting Cities requesting service on a first-come, first-served basis. Provision of licensing revenue support is further subject to the Parties executing a Licensing Support Contract (Exhibit F). iii. In addition to other terms described in Exhibit F, receipt of licensing revenue support is subject to the. recipient City providing in-kind services, including but not limited to: assisting in communication with City residents; publicizing any canvassing efforts the Parties have agreed should be implemented; assisting in the recruitment of canvassing staff, if applicable; and providing information to the County to assist in targeting its canvassing activities, if applicable.
