Centerville City Council February 12, 2003 Meeting Minutes This item was handled earlier in the meeting. Council Member Capra asked for authorization to gIVe funds to Mr. Thill for the purchase of parade flags as previously discussed. There was Council consent to give Mr. Thill the funds approved by motion last year for the parade flags. VIII. ANNOUNCEMENTSIUPDATES 1. Potentially Dangerous Dog Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated that Ms. Wirth has appealed the declaration of her dog as a potentially dangerous dog. Mayor Sweeney indicated the dog has not been vaccinated for rabies within the last three years and the person bitten should have requested that the animal be retained and tested or observed because undergoing rabies shots is not pleasant. He further commented that the dog went off the property and bit someone. City Attorney Hoeft indicated that Ms. Wirth would need to appear before Council and provide evidence as to why the dog is not dangerous. Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that Ms. Wirth has been advised that the dog needs to be kept in the house for the next 10 days for observation. Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated Ms. Wirth claims she never received the notice that was sent certified mail as it was not picked up. Council Member Broussard Vickers asked for the definition information for review prior to the next meeting. 2. Otter Lake Animal Control Services Renewal Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated that Staff would like additional time to research other options for animal control services as the City has not been entirely satisfied with the services. 3. Legislative Update Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated that Senator Dick Day has put before the Senate a bill to freeze public service wages for the state, county and cities but the problem is that there is nothing in the bill that would talk about reclaiming that money from the cities or counties. She further commented that it would not pass committee hearings if things are not tightened up. Page 12 of 15
