CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION OF AGENDA ITEMS AND QUESTIONS
Council discussed agenda item 9h, Revisions to Animal Regulations. Councilmember Lasman
indicated that she would like nuisance issues addressed and suggested that the consequences be
stiffer to help the issue.
City Manager Michael McCauley informed the Council that the ordinances on the agenda this
evening were to eliminate dog licenses in Chapter I and identify wild animals in Chapter 19. The
amendments regarding private kennel licenses and the keeping of animals are not on the agenda this
evening since there are several issues that the Council will have to address. The City Attorney will
draft the proposed amendments relating to private kennel licenses and the keeping of animals and the
proposed ordinance amendments will be before the Council again at later date. Mr. McCauley
suggested that the Council report that the Council discussed the issue of private kennel licenses and
the keeping of animals and that if anyone wishes to comment on the issue, the City Council will take
public input from residents regarding the animal ordinance at a future meeting.

Mr. McCauley requested that the Pond Dedication Ceremony scheduled for April 20, 2001, be
postponed due to Mr. Lindquist's unavailability.
