HomeMy WebLinkAbout4.4 Establish Dog License Fees CITY OF DUBLIN AGENDA STATEMENT, ~� CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: September 28, 1987 SUBJECT Amendment to Resolution Establishing Dog License Fees to Provide a Three-Year License EXHIBITS ATTACHED o Proposed Resolution o Resolution No. 26-87 RECOMMENDATION j66opt Proposed Resolution FINANCIAL STATEMENT: Cost for a three-year license will be $22, with reduced rates for altered animals and owners over age 62 . DESCRIPTION Effective January 1, 1987, a change was enacted in Section 3081 of the Food and Agricultural Code. This change authorizes municipalities to issue dog licenses for a period not to exceed three years . A three-year license can only apply to dogs which are at least twelve months of age. The change in state law was prompted by the fact that beginning in March of 1986, rabies vaccinations became effective for three years. The ability to provide a license which could be valid for the same period as the inoculation period would be a service to dog owners. This would allow owners to coordinate their dog vaccination with the purchase of a dog license. Alameda County Department of Field Services currently conducts licensing for the City of Dublin on a contractual basis. The County has already adopted a fee of $22 for a three-year license. The only change to the proposed resolution is the provision for a three-year license. All other fees remain the same as are currently being assessed. Staff would recommend that the City Council adopt the Resolution Amending Exhibit A of Resolution No. 26-87. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- COPIES TO: ITEM NO. �� RESOLUTION NO. 87 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN AMENDING EXHIBIT A OF RESOLUTION NO. 26-87 ESTABLISHING FEES RELATED TO ANIMAL CONTROL ACTIVITIES WHEREAS, the City Council has adopted Resolution No. 26-87 Establishing Fees Related to Animal Control Activities; and WHEREAS, the resolution establishes dog license fees which are valid for no more than two years; and WHEREAS, recent changes in legislation authorize cities to issue dog licenses for a period of up to three years; and WHEREAS, it is appropriate to have an established fee for a three-year dog license included with the current fees.
