The PDF stuff - for both the City and County - is frustrating. And you should know that I'm not techie enough to be able to run a cron job. :) It just strikes me as odd.

They started doing this a few months ago. Unfortunately, it's a PDF, which is awfully tough to parse automatically, but at least they're providing it. Anyhow, it's nothing that a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron" rel="nofollow">cron job</a> couldn't solve.
