REGULATION OF CATS - SECTION 5-1.01 OF THE CODE REPEALED
Wallin explained that he fQlt that requiring the belling of cats
is mostly unenforceable and felt the City should not have
anything in the Code that does not affect public safety, health
and welfare. He was of the opinion that many sections of the
Code fall into this unenforceable category. Baldwin felt it was
inappropriate to attempt to regulate. natural behavior of animals
such as belling cats to protect the birds. Following the
discussion, Wallin moved adoption of Ordinance 0-89-19 repealing
Section 5-1.01 in its entirety. Motion carried unanimously.
New language relating to regulation of cats will be drafted in
the near future.

Preliminary Development Agreement with the Professional Ventures
Developers: This agreement demonstrates seriousness on the part of
the Developers in submitting its plans and on the part of the City

The PVI Proposal includes a one story, 66,000 square foot retail
complex on the 4.62 acre site. It requires the acquisition and
demolition of all existing structures on the property. As it is
