Exhibit C Calculation of Estimated Payments The Estimated. Payment is the amount, before reconciliation, owed by the City to the County (or owed by the County to the City if the amount calculated is less than $0) for the provision of six months of Animal Services, based on the formulas below. In summary and subject to the more detailed descriptions below, an initial cost allocation is made for Service Year 2013 based on the cost factors described in Part 1 below; costs are offset by various revenues as described in Part 2. An annual reconciliation is completed as described in Part 3. In Service Years 2014 and 2015, the Contracting Parties' allocable costs are adjusted based on: (1) the actual change in total allocable costs over the previous Service Year (subject to an inflator cap), (2) changes in revenues, and (3) to account for annexations (in or out of the Program service area) of areas with a population of 2,500 or more, and for changes in relative population share of all Contracting Parties due to any Latecomer Cities. If the Agreement is extended past 2015, the cost allocation in 2016 will be recalculated in the same manner as for Service Year 2013 and adjusted in 2017 per the process used for Service Years 2014 and 2015. Based on the calculation process described in Parts 1 and 2, an "Estimated Payment" amount owed by each City for each Service Year is determined. Each Estimated Payment covers six months of service. Payment for service is made by each City every June 15 and December 15. Part 1: Service Year 2013 Cost Allocation Process • Control Services costs are to be shared among the 3 geographic Control Districts; one quarter of such costs are allocated to Control District 200, one quarter to Control District 220, and one half are allocated to Control District 500. Each Contracting Party located within a Control District is to be allocated a share of Control District costs based 80% on the Party's relative share of total Calls for Service within the Control District and 20% on its relative share of total population within the Control District. • Shelter Services costs are to be allocated among all Contracting Parties based 20% on their relative population and 80% on the total shelter intake of animals attributable to each Contracting Party, except that cities contracting for shelter services with PAWS will pay only a population -based charge.
