CONTRIBUTIONS FOIL OPERATING COSTS -
FIRST TWO FISCAL YEARS
1. Start-up Costs
Member Agencies agree that, pursuant ~:o Section 6.3.2 of the Agreement to which this
Exhibit "B" is attached, for the initial start-up period from the Effective Date until the date
that the Joint Shelter is first opened, the proportion of capital, start-up and operating costs
of the Authority to be borne by each Member Agency shall be as follows:
JURISDICTION ALLOCATION
PERCENTAGE
City of CAMPBELL 10.10%
City of CUPERTINO 10.19%
Town of LOS GATOS 8.42%
City of MONTE SERENO 0.88%
City of SANTA CLARA 30.01%
City of SARATOGA 7.99%
City of SUNNYVALE 32.42%
Member Agencies acknowledge and agree that the proportions set forth above are based
upon a consideration of three (3) variables, as follows:
The population of each Member Agency to account for potential demand for Animal Control
Services in each Jurisdictional Area; and
The amount of licensed animals owned or kept by residents of each Member Agency to
reflect different estimated levels of anima ownership in each Jurisdictional Area; and
The total number of days that an animal from each Member Agency is held at the current
animal shelter facility used by that Memt~er Agency to reflect anticipated proportional use
of an animal shelter facility by each Merr~ber Agency.

May, 1999 and prepared for the City of San Jose by DMG-Maximus. This formula has been
