BACKGROUND The Health Services Department investigated outsourcing pet license sales in 2007 due to the incredibly time consuming, cumbersome, and often inefficient system used. The Health Services Department researched various software packages for pet licensing, and ultimately contracted with PetData, a firm whose only function is to provide full- service pet licensing to communities. The first contract in 2007 was last renewed in 2016 and is now due for renewal. DISCUSSION PetData continues to provide quality upgrades to their sales and database, along with providing regular reports, dialog, and improvements on customer service (see attached 2017 report). The attached contract renewal changes are related to PetData now being able to deposit license monies directly into the City's bank account. Previously, PetData had a separate account for the City at their location in Irving, Texas. The other changes suggested by Assistant City Attorney, Maureen Quann, are general clarifications and updates. The new agreement does not have any fee increases for PetData.
