Title

POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS DOG ORDINANCE

 

Background

Although “dangerous dog” language was added to City Ordinance several years ago, “potentially dangerous dog” language was not. By not having this language the Police Department is limited in how they can track dogs that have been declared potentially dangerous and what requirements must be met for the registration. Most cities have registration requirements in their ordinances. Proposed language is attached.

 

Recommendation

Staff recommends adding the potentially dangerous definition and registration language to City Ordinance.
