Regular City Council Meeting Monday, November 19, 2007 Page 6 Discussion with Police Captain Rick Mathwig advising that animals were not held at the City of Roseville, as there were no facilities to do so, but they were taken directly to Brighton Veterinary Hospital, if there was no apparent identification or owner. Captain Mathwig further advised that the Police Department could post the information at the Roseville City Hall, without incurring extensive additional staff or administrative costs and available during normal office hours; however, noted that current practice provided that Police Dispatch, and other agencies, were all aware of where animals were impounded, so the information would be readily available to pet owners. Councilmember Pust suggested that the Police Department add information to the City's website, that if any animal was missing, contact should be made with Brighton Veterinary Hospital, with their contact information and location. Captain Mathwig advised that updated information to the City's website could be added within several working days. Councilmember Kough advised that Carol Kough had a sample form available for the Police Department's consideration in completing a description of the missing animal; and assured the public that the rationale for the revised ordinance was to provide more safety for Roseville pets, and to encourage responsible pet owner- ship.
