FEB <br />R- <br />2 1990 <br />BOOK' �0 f .JL. 9 <br />Chairman Eggert still didn't feel that a vicious dog should <br />be allowed at a dog show, and Commissioner Wheeler agreed that a <br />vicious dog should not be allowed at a dog show or any other <br />public place. He felt the proposed ordinance puts teeth into the <br />law to protect us from dogs that have been improperly trained. <br />Before making a Motion, Commissioner Scurlock pointed out <br />the following changes or modifications he would like to see in <br />the proposed ordinance: <br />Item (9) on page 4 of the ordinance -- he wanted to see <br />that be a little more liberal as to the type of restraint. <br />He wanted the restraint to be humane, and he felt something <br />other than just a cage should be allowed, such as a spring <br />device or cross -ties. <br />No. 2 on page 7 -- he just wanted to make sure that we have <br />adequate people who can tattoo the dogs when they have been <br />identified as vicious. <br />Item 5(a) on page 8 -- delete the exemption for a vicious <br />dog attending or participating in a dog show. <br />Commissioner Scurlock also questioned Item 6(d) on page 9, <br />because he didn't feel the the requirement for the owner to <br />notify the County about a transfer of ownership was workable, and <br />Director Wright explained that if the dog was still in the <br />community, we need to know where it's at. He felt his staff <br />could keep up with it. <br />Commissioner Scurlock next referred to item 7(f) on page 10, <br />and asked if the 120 -hour waiting period is the right length of <br />time to dispose of a dog after it has been determined to be a <br />vicious dog. <br />Attorney Brennan explained that notice is given for the Code <br />Enforcement Board, and we would have to get some kind of proof of <br />34 <br />
