RE: Animal Ordinance Revisions
Attached for your review and adoption are Ordinance Na. XIV.9 amending
eertain sections of the city' s dog and cat ordinance and a Resolution
setting new fees for animal tags, fines and kennel and cattery permit
fees.
I will provide a brief explanation on these documents:
Revisions to Animal Ordinance;
Attached you wi11 find a memor�ndum from Parks & Recreation Director
David Bechtold setting out action taken by the Park Board regarding
animais in parks. Dave will be at the July Sth Council meeting and
will be available to review these recommended actions by the Park Baard
with you.
Section 1 addressing Cattery and Residential Kennel has two changes as
follows:
(1 ) Changing �he definition of cattery from 3 or more cats to 4
or more ca�s over 6 months of age;
(2) Changing the wording for residential kennels from "a place
where more than 3 dogs . . ." (which equals 4I ) to a place
where 4 or more dogs over 6 months of age . . .
Section 2 regarding registration provisions would be changed as
follows:
The present ordinanee has a provision that individual
registration nee�l no� be secured for dogs or cats if kept in a
rec�istered kennel or cattery.
Staff discussion on this revealed a consensus that this phrase
shauld be eliminated so the city can require animal tag
registration and kennel/cattery registra�ion. 5taff felt that
al]. animal owners should purahase tags as a means of providing
proof of rabies vaccination and a method of locating the
animal' s owner in the event it would get loose. Staff also felt
the double registration requirement would help li,mit the n�umber
of animal.s an owner would have in their possession.
Section 7-4B-9 is a .recommendation from the police depaxtment.
� i � �
Resolution Settin Fees:
Attached is Resolution 1974-58, wh�.ch is the original resolution
adopted for setting out fees for animal and cat owners. There have
been no changes to the original fees since this resolution was adopted.
Police Chief Staats will be present at the Juiy 5 meeting to review
these revised fees with you.
Recommended action subject to your approval:
Adopt Ordinance No. XIV.9 and then adopt the Resolution establishing
fees, find and charges, etc.
