Confirm effective date of animal and code enforcement fees

Applies if: You advise clients charged Animal Services or Code Enforcement fees since September 29, 2026

Context: The item as published said amendments were effective September 29, 2026, but a motion carried to strike September 29 and insert October 13, and the final 5-3 approval came after reconsideration.

Recommended: Obtain the adopted resolution text and Attachment A and confirm which effective date governs the fees. Fines or charges assessed between September 29 and October 13 could be questioned if the date matters.
