The MSN proposal for the City of Los Angeles is File No. 07-1212. It is to be heard by the PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE. They meet on Mondays. I carefully checked both their "agenda" and their "supplemental agenda" and there was no reference to File No. 07-1212 on Monday's Calendar, 13 August. However ... (please see my highlighted area below) PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE HAS "WAIVED CONSIDERATION OF THE MATTER" It is now going to be heard by the full CITY COUNCIL .... "not" a committee! WHAT: AGENDA LOS ANGELES CITY COUNCIL WHEN: TUESDAY, AUGUST 14, 2007 10:00 AM WHERE: JOHN FERRARO COUNCIL CHAMBER CITY HALL ROOM 340 200 NORTH SPRING STREET LOS ANGELES, CA 90012 ===>>> File No. 07-1212 is now on the agenda for Tuesday!! http://lacity. org/clk/councila gendas/clkcounci lagendas347020_ 08142007. pdf ITEM NO. (43) - Motion Required 07-1212 COMMUNICATION FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER, DEPARTMENT OF ANIMAL SERVICES relative to mandating the spaying and neutering of domestic cats, dogs, and rabbits by the time the pet is four months old, strengthening breeding and transfer regulations, spaying or neutering animals taken in or subject to enforcement, microchipping, and related matters. Recommendation for Council action: REQUEST the City Attorney to prepare the necessary ordinance(s) to mandate the spaying and neutering of domestic cats, dogs, and rabbits by the time the pet is four months old, with specific exception for licensed breeders, to be consistent with provisions of Assembly Bill 1634 but adapted to the specific needs of Los Angeles; strengthening breeding and transfer regulations; allowing the Department of Animal Services to spay or neuter any animals taken in or subject to enforcement, requiring microchipping of any animal to obtain a valid breeding permit; and, other related enabling modifications. Fiscal Impact Statement: None submitted by the City Attorney. Neither the City Administrative Officer nor the Chief Legislative Analyst has completed a financial analysis of this report. ===>>> Public Safety Committee waived consideration of the above matter I have made several telephone calls to various City Council offices to confirm that "yes, it is no longer going to be heard by Public Safety Committee" and "yes, it will now be on the agenda for Tuesday."
