WESTFIELD — The City Council recently approved an amendment to the dog licensing requirements in the city, establishing an annual license period of April 1 to March 30. Previously, the license period was one year from the date of issue, so that different licenses had different expiration dates, making it harder for the city clerk’s office to track renewals.
In a letter to the council, City Clerk Kaitlyn Bruce explained that the new license period will align Westfield with the majority of communities in Massachusetts, and reduce expenses and staff time in the clerk’s office.
