ORAL PRESENTATIONS 96330 - Al Manning, 919 Fairview Avenue, thanked the City Council for delaying further action on amendments to the Animal Control Ordinance (See CR 96293 on August 27, 1990). Al stated that he had received over 150 signatures of persons who opposed the reduction in the number of days that unlicensed dogs are kept at the Humane Society (from seven to four days). These petitioners indicated that the savings to the City in dollars (approximately $1,600 per year) does not justify lessening the period. Mayor McKinley stated that in addition to the number of days unlicensed animals are held, the ordinance was delayed to allow public comment on the number of adult animals that can be kept in a residential household. Mr. Manning also suggested several cost saving ideas to the City as it relates to the Animal Control Ordinance. Mayor McKinley urged Mr. Manning to put these in writing for staff to review prior to the next reading of the ordinance. Elaine Jaquith, 3148 Marigold Drive, also indicated that she had received signatures from 66 of her neighbors in approximately one and one-half hours opposing the change in the number of days that animals are kept at the Humane Society. She also suggested several ideas for the City, including a licensing collection station and more information to the public on the need for licensing their pets. Mayor McKinley recognized Veramae DeBonis and her husband, Joe. Veramae retired from the City on August 31, 1990 after 12 years of employment. The Mayor wished Mrs. DeBonis the best in her retirement years. A resident at 33 Lafayette Street asked what alternatives were available to him for the parking of vehicles. He explained that his girlfriend recently purchased a home at this address and no off-street parking is available to him. Several suggestions were given, but it was stated that the City has no authority to provide private parking on public streets. Police Chief Koehrsen agreed to meet with the gentlemen at this location to discuss any other possibilities. Shirley Koslowski, 816 Archer Avenue, indicated that the Mayor's request to Mr. Manning concerning the need to put his suggestions for changes in the Animal Control Ordinance in writing may be difficult for some. She stated that requiring some citizens to put things in writing may be beyond their capabilities and skills, and, therefore, inhibiting their input to the political process. Moved by Buck, seconded by Brown to receive and file the above comments. Motion carried. 96331 - Moved by Buck, seconded by Brown that the Council adjourn. Motion carried. Larry P. Burger City Clerk/Auditor
