. . June 7, 1994 Dear Arden Hills Council Member, The Minnesota Council of Dog Clubs, Inc. thanks you for the opportunity to contribute to the revision of the Arden Hills animal control ordinance. The enclosed MCDC Model Dog Ordinance Guideline contains a section dealing with kennel permits which you requested from our representatives at your April meeting. While we understand that your ordinance has already been enacted with the exception of the kennel permit section, we hope that you will review the other provisions of the guideline to see if the simplified language might not be an advantage for your community. These guidelines are a composite of the most effective provisions of the many ordinances that we have reviewed from communities across the country and the' recommendations of animal control officers and so represent the expertise of many professionals in the field. . Dr. Jerry Vanek DVM, is sending you the MCDC Model Rabies Ordinance Guideline which has been reviewed and approved by the Minnesota State Board of Health and the Minnesota Veterinary Medical Association. Since the control of rabies is an important consideration related to animal control legislation, we have separated it from the animal control ordinance guideline to give communities an opportunity to enact an ordinance that represents the most current protocols for control of this disease which affects many species of animals and needs special consideration in the interests of public health management. Dr. Vanek will attend your meeting which addresses the model ordinance recommendations and will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Please advise our president, Sherri Bakko at 227-2639 of the date and time of the meeting that will consider these items. ltle appreciate the opportunity to contribute to a successful program in your community. Sincerely, , lJ[1....~ 'i-- , ~'- L 1., l \~ Karen Elvin Corresponding Secretary .
