Starting March 1, fees for a dog license will increase.

"There is a lack of enforcement," Becker said. "I think it's also people don't realize they have to do it."

Given the $20 yearly fee, 10,600 dogs would generate $212,000 in revenue. Instead, the city has received about $8,000 in license revenue during each of the last three years, according to the Controller's Office.



This is what it is really about.
