| realize that you are not an expert in the Smart Shopper App but | was just wondering about ease of use? |
think that would be key to whether or not people do this?

Mayor Donchess

Well | consider a half a million or a million to be quite a bit of money. Alderwoman Gathright did you have your
hand up?

Alderman Harriott-Gathright

My question is have you spoke to any of the employees about this Smart Program?
Mr. Budreau

Alderman Harriott-Gathright

seizure of personal property occurs, the Government Entity which seized the property must notify the owner of
the seizure and must provide some mechanism whereby the owner can at least attempt to retrieve their cat
from the Government. At minimum the lack of a licensing law for cats means the City has no way to identify the
cat that has been seized, so the City is unable to provide notice to the owner of the seizure and the opportunity
to recover the cat from the City.

A box is checked on the form indicating that the cat was impounded as a stray and/or for running at large.
Based on these facts it is and has always been my position that my cat was impounded by the City and the
ACO on the basis that she was a stray or because she was running at large.

document more changes and more things that they could in our current software. They will also, a big plus, is
that they will be able to work in multiple tax years all within the same data base. So right now we don’t have
that capability. Once we start to move to File Capture to print bills and things, our assessors are kind of at a
standstill and can’t work within the data base. So there is going to be some real efficiency.
