Summary of Proposed Changes
Animal Control Ordinance
May 14, 1992
Section 6-2 of the Code of Ordinances would be amended to modify the
definitions of impound, owner, and public nuisance; to add definitions for
guard dog, pursuit, and commercial property; and to delete the definition of
vicious dog. These changes were recommended by the Municipal Court
prosecuting attorney to clear up technical problems with court cases.
Section 6-10 would be amended to add Animal Control to places where licenses
may be obtained and provide that a participating veterinarian must submit to
the City a duplicate copy of a license within 30 days to receive a $1 rebate.
Currently, untimely submittals result in unnecessary citations and delays.
Section 6-10 would be further amended to require the owner of a dangerous dog
to adhere to all requirements of State law for dangerous dogs, establish a
license fee of $50, and specify a one inch lime green color collar to be worn
by dangerous animals.
Section 6-11 would be amended to clarify, by removing confusing language, the
authority to enter private property.
Section 6-12 would be amended to reduce the number of unprovoked biting
offenses from two to one, and to extend the time period from 12 to 24 months
and reduce the number of convictions or impoundments from three to two in
order to hold an administrative hearing. This results from citizen complaints
that the present rules are too lenient. This section would also be amended to
conform with State law regarding dangerous dogs.
Section 6-12 would be further amended to delete the requirement that actions
ordered as a result of an administrative hearing must be complied within 10
days. Some requirements, such as construction, may require longer periods,
and this amendment would allow the Director of Public Health to use judgment
regarding the time necessary for compliance.
Sections 6-17 and 6-24 dealing with horse stables and guard dogs would be
deleted, and Section 6-18 would be amended to require the owners of horse
stables and guard dogs to obtain commercial permits. This would simplify and
streamline the ordinance.
Section 6-18 would also be amended to require commercial stables and kennels
to keep a register of all animals boarded and their owners. This would
facilitate emergency contacts when abuse is discovered.
Section 6-21 would be amended to provide for a refund of $25 of adoption fees
to the veterinarian rather than the owner, if the animal is sterilized within
thirty days; and to authorize the Director of Public Health to waive the
impoundment fee for exigent circumstances in accordance with published
criteria. This is the actual practice, and a copy of the criteria is
attached.
Section 6-21 would be further amended to delete the requirement that an
impounded dog or cat must first be licensed before being released to the
Summary of Proposed Changes
Animal Control Ordinance
May 14, 1992
Section 6-22 would be amended to delete requirements that rabies vaccination
tags list the date and be approved by the City, and that veterinarians submit
vaccination certificates to the City. These requirements are no longer
necessary. Rabies tags are in a form and color approved by national
organizations, and the certificate duplicates information on the City license.
Section 6-23 would be amended to require owners to report and submit for
quarantine any animal which bites or scratches another animal, if the animal
exhibits symptoms of rabies. Presently, only reports of bites or scratches of
humans are required. This section would also be amended to increase the
maximum fine for violation from $200 to $500, which should deter violations.
Section 6-25 would be amended to exempt from payment of the fee for loan of
small animal traps any low income citizens whose income falls below the
poverty level as established by the U. S. Department of Health and Human
Services. Presently, disabled and elderly citizens are also exempt. The
recommended change would require those with incomes above the poverty level to
pay the fine.
Section 6-30 would be amended to prohibit the sale or display of small
turtles. These animals transmit salmonella, and sale or display is prohibited
by federal regulations.
Section 6-36 would be amended to exempt circuses, auctions, and special events
approved by the City from the maximum number and minimum distance
requirements. This is the current practice.
