Councilmember Kough introduced presenters to explain more on the proposed or- dinance: Carol Kough who had been involved in animal licensing and recovery for a number of years; Dr. Laurie Ballinger, a Roseville resident, with a veterinary clinic in Maplewood, MN; and Jill Fritz, resident of Minneapolis, MN and State Director for Humane Society of the U.S. City of Roseville Police Department Captain Rick Mathwig briefly presented staff's proposed changes and recommended ordinance, incorporating additional language as previously discussed with the City Council, and involving improved language for electronic devices; identifying city costs associated with animal li- censes as detailed by the Finance Deparhnent, and several options for price dif- ferentialsbetween sterilized and non-sterilized animals. Councilmember Roe questioned staff's rationale for doubling fees for lifetime li- censure for non-sterilized pets, and nothing For anon-sterilized annual license. Captain Mathwig advised that staff anticipated that 2008 license fees would be addressed, along with other city-wide fees, as part of the budgeting process and included for Council action in November. Councilmember Kough noted that there was some disagreement from presenters with some of staff's recommendations.
