Forwarded in part from Edward Muzika:

AVID Microchips "Animal Services is apparently losing its butt on AVID Microchips according to information sent to me anonymously. Where is the extra money going?

In Fiscal Year 2006-07, the Department spent $204,973 on purchasing microchips.

Approximately 17,000 dogs/cats year adopted got chips and 6,000 New Hope animals get chips, 23,000 cats/dogs got chips, not including chips the public requested. Animal Services pays $8.90/chip. Another estimate put the cost at $8.00 per chip if a thousand more were sold to the public directly.

However, this same source says the wholesale price for ships directly from AVID is $3 per chip, for a cost of $72,000. Somewhere, someone is making $133,000 for 2006-2007 off of the department.

Assuming the department was thinking ahead and bought two years of chips for $144,000, that still leaves $61,000 that went to someone else's pocket.

Or, as I heard elsewhere, it bought, 40,000 chips for $205,000, but received only the $91,000 mentioned by Laura Chick in that special fund.. In this case, $114,000 is missing.

Therefore, somewhere between $72,000 and $114,000 is "missing."

ADL-LA NOTES : Does the name ED BOKS have any special meaning for you? What our own sources have told us is to " Follow the money and you'll find that Ed Boks is swimming in it!"
