Submitted by: Graham Jura | Ordinance 6437
ITEM 6.B. | Council Action: 11/23/2020 |
|
| | | | | | | | Description
An Ordinance to amend Chapter 4.20 "Animal Control" of the Municipal Code, by amending Section 4.20.020 "Definitions-Animal Control." |
|
| | | | | | | | Background/Discussion
City Legal met with the Council Bluffs Animal Control division in order to determine what updates were needed to give Council Bluffs the flexibility to guard against dangerous animals, particularly dogs, from endangering both the public as well as other animals. After previously amending multiple sections of Chapter 4.20 of the CBMC, it is no longer necessary to have the dangerous dog language in Chapter 4.20.020, as it is now addressed in greater detail in other sections of Chapter 4.20. The removal of this language will also limit confusion when it comes to enforcement and interpretation of this Chapter. |
|
| | | | | | | | Recommendation
Approval of this Ordinance is recommended. |
