BACKGROUND
Background
The proposed ordinance revision is to remove the animal control fees from chapter 5 of the ordinance and set them out in an animal control fee schedule. Additionally, changes to the existing fees are proposed to create a differential structure to include a fee incentive for spayed/neutered pets by reducing violations of running-at-large and public nuisance by half for sterilized pets. The differential fees were approved by the animal services advisory board.
