Page 2. <br /> Common Council <br /> (5) It sets forth reasonable acreage requirements for <br /> the keeping of domestic animals within the City. <br /> (6) It updates the quarantine regulations in light of <br /> State law. <br /> (7) It specifically prohibits certain animals and <br /> poisonous reptiles and insects from the City. <br /> (8) It prohibits the housing of wild animals except in <br /> limited situations. <br /> (9) It requires that persons adopting or purchasing dogs <br /> be given a notice of pet registration at time of purchase with <br /> the adopting or selling facility sending a copy of such notice <br /> to the City for their follow-up. <br /> (10) It classifies specific types of permits. <br /> (11) It incorporates a warning notice procedure, citation <br /> procedure and hearings before the Neighborhood Code Enforcement <br /> Officer, as well as establishes specific fines based on the <br /> seriousness of the violation. <br /> I believe that this ordinance will drastically improve and update <br /> the local ordinances dealing with animals and will help assure that <br /> animals housed within the City limits will be treated in a fair and <br /> humane manner. <br /> I wish to thank the Council Attorney for her research and <br /> preparation of this ordinance. I seek your support and comment. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> C76(14.A...4.Z. /4*- <br /> Beverlie J. Beck <br /> Council President <br />
