San Francisco calls its City Council the 'Board of Supervisors' in reality (because S.F. is a consolidated city-county); so I guess my question is, is there something to indicate that the newspaper reference about licensing procedures refers to San Francisco and not the City Council of a neighboring city? If it does we might want to rename this to add San Francisco to the name (like I did over at California State Assembly) 31dot (talk) 23:03, September 17, 2013 (UTC)

The headline appeared in at least one other mock newspaper [1], so I guess some of the text in that newspaper wasn't explicitly created with San Francisco in mind. The way I see it, we just have to assume that the Trek version of San Francisco works different from the real version (and it wouldn't be the first such difference).
That being said, the name change question is probably moot anyway, because since you commented I've found a second reference to a city council and changed the article to be about the general concept of a city council rather then that specific body. -- Capricorn (talk) 23:11, September 17, 2013 (UTC)

Agreed. :) 31dot (talk) 23:12, September 17, 2013 (UTC)

For future reference[]

Come to think about it, it's probably a good idea to note down the exact headline that was seen in voyage home, just for transparency, since it isn't quoted word for word in the article. Here we go:

"Licensing Procedure Changes Examined by City Council"
