DISCUSSION ITEM

 

FROM:    City Council Member Sherri Myers

 

SUBJECT:  

 

title

REPEAL OF SOME OF THE CITY’S ANIMAL WELFARE CODES, WITH INCORPORATION OF RELEVANT ESCAMBIA COUNTY ANIMAL CONTROL AND WELFARE CODES.

end                                                        

 

SUMMARY:

                                          

Currently Escambia County Animal Control handles enforcement within the City.  However, Animal Control normally does not enforce City Code.  The repeal of some of the City’s current code and then the incorporation of relevant County Code would allow for more consistent enforcement as well as giving the citizens a clearer picture of applicable enforcement activities.

 

This discussion will allow for clarification of the current status of our codes vs. the County codes as it relates to enforcement activities.  As well as a discussion of those areas where the City has an existing code that the County does not have and how that enforcement might take place.
