WHEREAS, in the City of Long Beach ("City"), pursuant to Long Beach Municipal Code Section 6.08.010, pet owners responsible for dogs and cats over the age of four months old are required to obtain an annual pet license from the city, which the pet must carry via a collar or microchip implant; and
WHEREAS, a failure to secure or renew a dog or cat license within sixty (60) · days is a violation subject to a late penalty fee of Thirty Dollars ($30) under Long Beach Municipal Code Section 6.08.040; and
WHEREAS, the current license fees for dogs and cats are $28 and $12, respectively, and the penalty fee for an expired license adds $15 to the aforementioned annual license fee; and
WHEREAS, the Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG), administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), supports cities throughout the country to support the development of viable urban communities by expanding economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income individuals; and WHEREAS, per HUD, "low and moderate income" refers to households whose incomes do not exceed 80% of the county median income, adjusted for family or household size; and
WHEREAS, in a 2021 survey from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) found that pet owners expressed worries over financial AL:vr A22-01653
