<br />be the final decision of the City. If a timely appeal is not filed, the owner of a dangerous <br />dog must comply with the requirements set forth in this section and Minnesota Statutes <br />Sections 347.50 through and including 347.56. <br /> <br /> <br />In preparation for a future dangerous dog situation, City staff has been working with the Ramsey <br />County Sheriffs Department on drafting a Memorandum of Understanding in which a hearing <br />examiner would be provided under the City's law enforcement agreement. In the future if a <br />potentially dangerous or dangerous dog case arises and the owner wishes to appeal the decision <br />of the animal control officer; the City Administrator will make a request to the Ramsey County <br />Sheriffs Department to have a member of the Sheriffs Department assigned as a hearing <br />examiner to hear the potentially dangerous or dangerous dog case. The assigned personnel from <br />the Ramsey County Sheriffs Department shall conduct the hearing and follow the process as <br />defined in the City's animal control regulations. <br /> <br />City staff believes that the utilization of the Ramsey County Sheriffs Department personnel as a <br />hearing examiner for a dangerous or potentially dangerous dog appeal case will create a fair and <br />impartial process for all involved parties. <br /> <br />Staff Recommendation <br />Motion to Approve the Memorandum of Understanding between the Ramsey County Sheriffs <br />Department and the City of Arden Hills dated April 9, 2007, for Providing a Hearing Examiner <br />for Potentially Dangerous or Dangerous Dog Hearing Appeals- <br /> <br />Enclosures: <br />Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Arden Hills and the Ramsey County Sheriffs Department <br />.
