Officer Parks explained he received a call on June 18, 2000, that the dogs were <br /> swimming in a nearby pond. He indicated he whistled at the dogs and both came <br /> running towards him and that he did not feel threatened. Officer Parks stated he made <br /> his way to the front door as the dogs walked closely together to the front door. He <br /> indicated this was a sign of the "pack" mentality in dogs of this breed. <br /> Officer Parks stated the dogs were friendly to him while he was in the home but noted <br /> the temporary fencing for the pets was poorly constructed, as the wiring was bent and <br /> had holes. He indicated the dogs did leave the home while he was there and <br /> approached a jogger. Officer Parks noted Ms. Salazar called the dogs and stated both <br /> came running back to the home. <br /> Ms. Salazar noted her dogs have completed obedience training and should not be <br /> viewed as a potentially dangerous. Chief Heckman stated this may be the case, but <br /> Council still has the final determination as to how the animal is treated for the safety <br /> of the public. <br /> Mayor Wilharber asked if the City were to declare both dogs (Nakita and Dakota) <br /> were potentially dangerous, would they retain this designation their entire lives. Mr. <br /> Hoeft stated this was the case. <br /> Mayor Wilharber asked if the City was not to declare both dogs (Nakita and Dakota) <br /> potentially dangerous, would the City be liable for future incidents. Mr. Hoeft stated if <br /> the behavior of the animals is found to be potentially dangerous and the Council <br /> disregards the incidents the City would be liable. Council needs to take into <br /> consideration public safety. <br /> Council Member Nelson questions whether a decisions needed to be made at this time <br /> or subsequent to the public hearing. Mr. Hoeft stated Council would not make a <br /> decision until after the public hearing was closed. <br /> Ray DeVine, 1837 Revoir, noted the owners have taken good care of the animals since <br /> the incident. He stated both parties have a valid concern and stated he felt this would <br /> be a difficult decision for the Council to make. <br /> Council Member Nelson asked if Dakota's shots were up to date. Ms. Salazar stated <br /> they were. <br /> Mr. March asked if the neighbors would feel comfortable with the six -foot fence or if <br /> this would still be unacceptable. Mr. Brainard stated he felt both dogs were potentially <br /> dangerous due to the fact they travel in a "pack ". He added he felt a six -foot fence <br /> may not be enough to contain the animals as German Shepherd's could jump a six -foot <br /> fence if provoked. <br /> Mr. DeVine stated he would also be in favor of the six -foot fence for the safety of the <br /> children in the area. <br /> 3 <br />
