It also incorporates some of the <br /> At Large provisions currently enforced in the other municipalities <br /> JOHN VOORDE such as Fort Wayne and Columbus , Indiana. <br /> At Large <br /> K.CEKANSKI-FARRAND The proposed ordinance is a positive approach to <br /> Council Attorney animal control within the City of South Bend. It repeals <br /> current ordinance which in many instances have been <br /> ignored, held to be impractical, and have not been enforced. <br /> Since the ordinance would require the assistance and <br /> cooperation of many individuals , I am asking that it be <br /> sent to the Public Safety Committee of the Council for <br /> review, and that the public hearing be set for July 22d. <br /> The following is a brief summary in chronological <br /> order of the bill highlighting some of its provisions : <br /> (1) It sets forth clear and precise definitions. <br /> (2) It establishes an animal control commission <br /> which will oversee and make recommendations to the City <br /> on an annual basis regarding animal regulations. <br /> (3) It sets forth specific animal care regulations . <br /> (4) It prohibits the poisoning of animals and <br /> restricts trapping of animals. <br />
