Previously when <br />before Council, Council requested that administrative items be increased by 5% and that <br />the issuance period for animal licensing be extended from the current two (2) year length. <br /> <br />Staff has increased all administrative fees as requested by Council (See attached). <br /> <br />Most rabies vaccinations for dogs are for a period of two (2) years. Is it the desire of <br />Council to ensure that animal owners are properly vaccinating their animals; if so, then a <br />two (2) year licensing schedule should be adhered to. If Council were to consider <br />extending the licensing period to additional years, history shows that animal owners <br />regularly forget to supply the City with their current vaccination information. Previously <br />the City offered a "life-time" licensing; however, generally the City did not have current <br />rabies information on file. <br /> <br />Currently the City has 151 animals registered for the 2004 - 2005 licensing period. Two <br />(2) sets of mailings have been forwarded to residents regarding the renewal and lack of <br />renewal. <br /> <br />Staff would like to recommend to Council continuing to provide a two (2) year license <br />period (January 1, 2004 - December 31, 2005, etc} Staff feels that it would be more <br />time consuming and cost prohibitive to notify each individual animal owner when their <br />animal's rabies vaccinations expire rather than a mass mailing a month prior to the <br />current two (2) year licensing period ending. <br />
