Regular City Council Meeting Monday, December 5, 2016 Page 35 Councilmember Laliberte noted that the last time this issue was addressed she had also expressed her support for an ordinance similar to this model that would en- courage adoption models as used in other Roseville pet stores. Councilmember Laliberte clarified that she wasn't looking to put anyone out of business, but stat- ed everyone needed to adapt to the changing environment. As a lifelong dog owner, Councilmember Laliberte noted that she had procured them in a number of different ways, usually for a particular breed from a particular breeder. However, Councilmember Laliberte noted that some of her family members had also used the adoption route with success. Councilmember Laliberte stated that she wasn't sure if she was comfortable with the draft model ordinance as presented, but was open to input from the City Attorney regarding the criminal aspect of it and how this model would move the city toward a humane model versus another approach. Councilmember Laliberte suggested staff review pet ordinances of other cities, consult with the City Attorney, and then bring something back to the City Council that will work for Roseville. In terms of an ordinance, Councilmember McGehee stated that she wasn't sure if this model was the right one or not, particularly with a criminal or non-criminal aspect if there wasn't an alternative way to accomplish the same thing. Coun- cilmember McGehee stated she was not in favor of puppy mills, having housed many rescue animals at her home, and in agreement with Ms. Kough about the sparse visitations and inspections and inadequate housing of pets for sale. Coun- cilmember McGehee opined that the model from the Wisconsin speaker provided a more aggressive use of rescues and puppies and kittens available in-store most of the time, but not housed there necessarily, but rotating the sites with volunteers from rescue agencies. Noting Mr. Papineau's perspective, Councilmember McGehee stated her interest in a solution for both sides. Councilmember Etten stated his support for finding a way to not allow a supply of dogs and cats from puppy mills, such as using a program like "Paws to Paws Adoption." Councilmember Etten expressed his interest in the care of animals proposed by Mr. Papineau with licenses and veterinary inspections; and noted the draft model ordinance did not allow for multi-day housing for animals in consid- eration of their health. Mayor Roe concluded that the two basic concerns seemed to be sourcing of ani- mals through puppy mills, and breeding operations not being up to par. While that is something the city has to be concerned about, Mayor Roe noted the need to also preserve another business model besides only that of adoption; questioning if that needs to be preserved in Roseville. Citing the larger cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul sure with greater capability for inspections, licensing and a regulatary environment for that type of business model based on their larger staffs and areas of expertise, Mayor Roe noted that if the city went to that model, it would in ef- fect be eliminating any other business model in Roseville across the board. Mayar Roe noted his interest in weighing a long-term business in the community
