Service type.
Dept.
Citygate was asked by the north San Diego County cities of San Marcos, Oceanside, and Escondido to conduct a technical review of the costs, timing, and risks associated with alternative service delivery methods, including a proposed animal services Joint Powers Authority (JPA). Citygate examined the Cities’ estimated equipment start-up costs, staffing costs, staffing levels, estimated revenues, estimated facility costs, financing costs, and estimated annual operating costs. Citygate also reviewed, at a high level, the estimated timelines that had been prepared regarding the formation of the JPA, the issuance of bonds, acquisition of facilities and equipment, permitting, construction, staffing, and training.
