Historical Note

The Department of Licenses and Consumer Affairs was established in 1973 to issue business licenses, deal with weights and measures, provide consumer protection, education, and assistance, and manage animal control. In 1994, the department was abolished, and its functions were taken over by the Department of Finance.

Content Description

The annual reports date from 1974 to 1990. The early reports are brief and list work done in the area of law enforcement, including weights and measures, new legislation, and special projects, such as searching for a new animal shelter. Later reports provide more complete descriptions of activities in the licensing, animal control, and audit and financial services divisions.

This series also includes one 1974 report for the Animal Control Commission, which was created in 1972 through Ordinance 100965. Part of the Executive Department when it was created, it became part of Licenses and Consumer Affairs in 1974.
