Fiscal Note
This ordinance would require Public Health and City Attorney staff to develop related materials, respond to possible complaints, and conduct related investigations. Staff time of both the Public Health and Attorney's Office agencies will therefore be required to support these functions. The associated fiscal impact is likely to be small, unless a complaint is contested and appealed. In that case, considerable additional staff time may be consumed by the Public Health and Attorney's Office agencies. No appropriation is required at this time, nor is any impact upon the tax levy anticipated.
