Oliver [toliver@kellyandlemmons.com] Sent: Friday, November 21, 2008 5:01 PM To: Joel Hanson; pkelly@kellyandlemmons.com Subject: RE: Dangerous Dog Ordinance Amendment Attachments: Dangerous Dogs revision.doc Dangerous Dogs revision.doc (1... Joel- OK, a few more revisions than even I expected. Arguably, the changes made in the 2008 session took away the Arden Hills problem and made the statute self-enacting, but like liquor licensing, the City needs to adopt an ordinance if it wants to collect the fees and penalties authorized by the statute. Also, we still need an ordinance to get at "potentially dangerous dogs." So it went from being a long change to a very long change. I used statutory maximum amounts for everything except registration of potentially dangerous dogs, which I set at '/: the charge for dangerous dogs (there is no actual statutory guidance for a potentially dangerous dog fee). Let me know if you need further revisions. Thanks Trevor Trevor S.
