ORAL PRESENTATIONS
Jim Chapman, 224 Bertch Avenue, questioned how many full-time and part-time code
enforcement officers there are.
Mayor Clark explained that there are 3 full time and 1 part time.
Randy Herrod, 111 Highland, reported that he had articles on the dog issue from
experts and wants to emphasize that the experts writing the article state that
there is no particular breed involved in canine aggression and that it has to do
with the dog owners. He also noted that he's had people talk to him saying that
we have good codes in this community but wonder if they're enforced. He noted
that if we have big fines and big prison sentences, that it would help.
Ethan noted that pitbulls are not bad dogs, and that it has to do with
responsible owners. He noted that there should be stricter rules for people who
breed dogs. He noted that owners should have to microchip their dogs in the
city. He also noted that people should have big fines. He noted that a pitbull
saved a family from a fire in their house by barking.
Janet Kendall, 903 Riverside, wanted to know how each Council person stands on
the animal control issue.
Mayor Clark explained that this is not the time to do it, and that you can get a
hold of each Council person and find out how they stand on it, either by phone
or email.
John Trebon, 1750 Robin Road, noted that there was a gentleman from Kwik Trip
earlier talking about the savings with natural gas, and that the City should
look at the natural gas prospect with getting gas cheaper for city vehicles.
Mayor Clark explained that there is a tremendous investment to convert our
garbage trucks to CNG.
