ITEM 5.B. | Council Action: 1/27/2025 |
|
| | | | | | | | Description
Ordinance to amend Chapter 4.20 Animal Control of the 2020 Municipal Code of Council Bluffs, Iowa, by amending Sections 4.20.030 “Cruel Treatment of Animals Prohibited”; 4.20.112 “Pit Bulls Prohibited” and 4.20.140 “General Prohibitions And Duties” |
|
| | | | | | | | Background/Discussion
City Legal was contacted by Animal Control (“AC”) with ideas to update the current animal control code in order to better protect animals that are kept in homes that may be unsanitary. Additionally, AC stated that, due to the passage of time, there are no longer any registered pitbulls that fall under the “grandfather” exception to the prohibition of such animals in the City. As the language may create confusion as to whether other animals fall under this exception, AC has requested that it be completely stricken from the code as it is no longer relevant. |
