Animals must be effectively <br /> chained or leashed, Sec 6-16A and 6-45A. <br /> The enforcement process for dogs/cats at large was modified to require citizens to notify animal owners <br /> that their dog/cat has been running at large before the City will issue a citation, unless the enforcement <br /> officer observes the animal at large, Sec. 6-16B and 6-45B. <br /> The Public Safety Commission recommends the above changes. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: <br /> TO HOLD AND WAIVE THE SECOND READING OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 6, <br /> ANIMALS AND FOWL, OF THE CITY CODE. <br /> J C.
