Title
Informational Presentation - Lee's Summit Code of Ordinances Chapter 5 - Animal Regulations
Body
Issue/Request:
At the December 13, 2017 concerns were expressed during public comment regarding the City's regulations and actions pertaining to an incident involving two dogs within a neighborhood. Staff suggested having Animal Control present an overview of the current regulations and enforcement actions to the Community and Economic Development Committee (CEDC) to gain a better understanding of how these matters are dealt with prior to considering any proposed changes or amendments.
Animal Control scheduled neighborhood meetings to meet with the affected neighborhood and concerned citizens and will be prepared to review and discuss regulations and enforcement activites/approaches taken when working through animal related incidents.
Staff has attached a copy of the current Lee's Summit Code of Ordinances Chapter 5 Animal regulations for review prior to the presentation/discussion. For reference - the two primary sections pertaining to dangerous dogs may be found in Sections 5-83 and 5-84.
