August 27, 1990 Page 3 ORDINANCES TO BE ADOPTED 96293 - The Mayor announced the time had arrived for discussion on the first reading of an ordinance amending the Animal Control Ordinance. Mike Mrzlak, Animal Control, summarized the changes as follows: Animals would not be allowed to reach public property, including sidewalks, parking, streets or alleys from private property. The City would also require that the Animal Control Department be notified in writing when a dangerous animal has been moved from the City. The City would then, if possible, notify the new jurisdiction of the presence of the dangerous animal. The holding period of impounded animals that are not licensed would be reduced from seven days to four days. This would eventually reduce the cost of the City's contract with the Humane Society by approximately $1,600 per year. The last change concerns the number of animals that are allowed to be kept on residential property. The ordinance would be amended to allow no more than four adult animals, six months or older, per household in a residential area. Tom Colvin, Black Hawk Humane Society, asked that the City consider not reducing the holding period as it will decrease revenues for the Human Society. Discussion followed concerning the number of animals that could be expected to be reclaimed within four days versus the current seven day holding period. It was noted that this ordinance will be reviewed as it relates to the current Zoning Ordinance requirements. Moved by Wright, seconded by Dell that "an Ordinance amending the Animal Control Ordinance as it pertains to number of days of confinement and the number of animals allowed in a residential area", be received, placed on file, considered and passed for the first time.
