• Licensing Services costs are to be allocated among all Contracting Parties, based 20% on their relative population and 80% on the number of licenses issued to residents of each Contracting Party. Part 2: Revenue and Other Adjustments to the 2013 Cost Allocation. In 2013 and each Service Year thereafter, the costs allocable to each Contracting Party are reduced by various revenues and credits: • Licensing revenue will be attributed to each Contracting Party based on the residency of the individual purchasing the license (see Part 3 for reconciliation of Licensing Revenues). As Licensing Revenue and Non -Licensing Revenues change from year to year, the most recent historical actual data for these amounts will be incorporated to offset costs (See Exhibit C-6 for calculation periods). • Two credits are applicable to various Contracting Cities to reduce the amount of their Estimated Payments: a Transition Funding Credit (fixed at 2013 level, payable annually through 2015) for cities with high per -capita costs and a Shelter Credit (for Contracting Cities with the highest per capita intakes (usage)) (also fixed at a 2013 level, payable annually through 2015). Application of these Credits is limited such that the Estimated Payment cannot fall below zero (before or after the annual Reconciliation calculation). • In addition to the Transition Funding and Shelter credits, in 2013 the County will provide Licensing Revenue Support to nine identified Contracting Cities (selected based on the general goal of keeping 2013 costs the same or below 2012 costs). In exchange for certain in-kind support, these "Licensing Revenue Support Cities" are assured in 2013 of receiving an identified amount of additional licensing revenue or credit equivalent (the "Licensing Revenue Target"). In 2014 and 2015, all Contracting Cities may request licensing revenue support by entering into a separate licensing support contract with the County (Exhibit F): this support is subject to availability of County staff, with priority going to the nine Licensing Revenue Support Cities, provided that, Licensing Revenue Support Cities with a Licensing Revenue Target over $20,000/year will be assured such service in 2013-2015 by entering into a licensing support contract by September 1, 2012. • As New Regional Revenues are received by the County to support the Animal Services Program, those Revenues shall be allocated as follows: Document Dated 5-29-12 27
