Mark Anderson:
A couple comments on those recommendations:
1) I noticed there was lots of discussion on how to increase licensure
and how other cities have increased licensure, but not one sentence on
why we need to increase the number of licenses. It'd be nice if there
was something we could do in this city that didn't involve getting
permission.
2) I noticed the memo had checked "No financial impact," even though
every idea they had would cost the city money (as well as pet owners, of
course). Am I not understanding what "No financial impact" means?
Could someone please explain the nomenclature?
