CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUE~l' FOR COUNCIL AC1".ON
STAFF REPORT
On May 16, 1988 Mayor and Council approved a year-to-date and multi-year
dog licensing program. This had previously been approved by the
Legislative Review Committee.
At the time this was presented to the Mayor and Council at the public
hearing, an ordinance had not been prepared. The changes were incorp-
orated in the cat licensing proposal that was~approved by Mayor and Council
on August 15, 1988. Since an amendment was not made to delete cats from
the proposed ordinance, the ordinance must be resubmitted at this time.
Respectfully Submitted,
--.AJ .)
