OLD BUSINESS
Robin Wolfprovided copies of the new State Statutes relating to Animal Control. She explained that
before the Board could make any changes they would have to compare the new Statute to the City's
Ordinance and that she hadn't had time to compare them yet.
Robin Hendricks suggested that the Board Members take the new Statute home and review it so that
it could be discussed at the next meeting.
Robin Wolf reviewed some of the changes to the Ordinance suggested by Robin Hendricks and
explained that any changes to the Ordinance, ie. definitions, etc. needed to be voted on and until that
time would be considered "Proposed Changes". She suggested that all items be tabled until the
Board has had a chance to review the new Statute.
During discussion regarding items for review, it was suggested that the clause "without provocation"
be emphasized in the definition "aggressive animal". Robin Wolf informed the Board, that you
should not emphasize the phrase, but suggested the definition of "provocation" be included in the
Ordinance. The Board agreed to insert a definition on ''provocation''.
