Licensing fee revenue declined in 2010 vs 2009 as a result of lower of animal adoption fees, automobile repair licenses and garbage removal license revenue. Another reason for this decline was the advance billing and prepayment of certain licenses (i.e. automotive repair and alarm agent licenses) in December 2009 for the 2010 fiscal year. Licensing fee revenue during 2010 through 2012 has remained consistent and is significantly higher than 2007/2008 revenue levels.

A lower number of animal surrenders is a positive trend for the community. Pet license renewals have been fairly consistent. Adoption fee licenses have declined while micro chipping licenses increased siginificantly during 2011 and 2012. The number of licenses sold for the"Civil City" operations (Administration/Finance and the City Clerk)decreased primarily due to fewer lawn parking licenses sold with the implementation of a full season license option in lieu of a per game license. Lawn parking revenue has increased each year. The number of licenses sold by Central Services were for taxicab license and has remained fairly consistent from 2007 to 2012. P. 5 2012 Licensing.
