Salazar Potentially Dangerous Dog <br /> Council Member Sweeney stated he has grown up with dogs for his entire life and <br /> noted he felt the dogs' actions were the actions of a large puppy. He indicated he does <br /> not want to punish the owners of these dogs because they have made great efforts to <br /> improve the situation. Council Member Sweeney stated he felt the six -foot fence <br /> would be adequate and should deter the Council from declaring the dog or dogs as <br /> being potentially dangerous. <br /> Council Member Nelson noted she felt Dakota was potentially dangerous and stated he <br /> was not immunized for rabies until eight months old. She indicated the dog was not <br /> recorded with the City of Centerville and that the temporary fence they have was not <br /> constructed properly to contain the animals. Council Member Nelson felt some action <br /> needed to be taken by Council to make sure the owners are held accountable for the <br /> animals and the protection of neighboring residents.

He stated <br /> the owners have not been actively seeking a fence until recently. Mayor Wilharber <br /> noted he was in favor of the proper enclosed kennel as described in the Ordinance but <br /> suggested the size be increased to allow for both animals to be placed within the <br /> kennel. <br /> Mayor Wilharber explained he felt the Council had to do something and do it now. He <br /> felt it was the responsibility of the Council to protect the neighboring properties and <br /> their residents. <br /> Council Member Nelson questioned if both dogs could be declared potentially <br /> dangerous or if only Dakota could be.
