The usual way to arrange "government" documents is according to theÂ

Thus the dogcatcher (NOT under Animal Control as you would think) isÂ
strangely subservient to the secretary to the City Council. The only wayÂ
the interested reader can find the dogcatcher is by clicking on "CityÂ
Council" first, then on "Staff" and then on "Lucy Millner" that being theÂ
name of the former secretary. THEN you can get to dogcatcher. And yesÂ
there is a search, but it's not properly implemented, and only displays aÂ
photo of City Hall, labeled Mayor's Office.
Ya gotta knows tha territory before ya can reads tha map!
Oh, and Animal Control is part of Parks and Recreation, of course.
