DRAFT Regular City Council Meeting Monday, October 21, 2013 Page 5 Chief Mathwig advised that it would be problematic for current staff to review that documentation and contact individual license holders every two years, opin- ing that good pet owners would continue to vaccinate their pets. Councilmember McGehee concurred with Chief Mathwig, opining that a pet owner would do whatever was necessary to protect their family and pets; and ex- pressed her happiness to see this return to veterinarians to establish that guideline. From personal experience, Councilmember McGehee noted that, even if an ani- mal was vaccinated, it did not necessarily preclude an issue with rabies under all circumstances. Councilmember McGehee expressed her agreement with the pro- posed changes. At the request of Councilmember Willmus, Chief Mathwig confirmed that the guidelines established by the Minnesota Veterinarian Board had been referenced and consulted in making these recommended changes, and followed parallel to their conclusions. McGehee moved, Etten seconded, enactment of Ordinance No. 1453 (Attachment A) entitled, "An Ordinance Amending Selected Text of Title Five, Chapter 501, Animal Control of the Roseville City Code." Councilmember Willmus questioned the accuracy of portraying animals as being "over vaccinated;" as the rabies vaccine diminished over time; and reiterated his request to require those holding lifetime licenses to keep those records up-to-date. Councilmember Willmus further disagreed with the statement that the issue was related to "over vaccination;:" and opined that the City was doing a disservice to its residents if not keeping tabs on lifetime license holders. Councilmember Laliberte concurred with Councilmember Willmus, opining that with lifetime licenses, there should be some onus or expectation that they be held responsible to keep up-to-date; with this recommended language removing that requirement and making monitoring difficult. Amendment Willmus moved, Laliberte seconded, retaining the original code language of line 121 to require submission by lifetime license holders every two (2) years, proof of the animal's current rabies vaccination. Councilmember McGehee stated that, being familiar with veterinarian practices, she could not support the amendment, opining that a veterinarian had the best view on that, especially concerns with older pets and autoimmune diseases. Staff did not have available the percentage or a count of lifetime license holders in the City.
