Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Morelan <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />The City's Animal Control Officer has requested that the City consider adoption of a wild <br />animal ordinance, and has indicated that several cities have adopted such ordinances. <br />The City periodically receives inquiries asking whether or not it is permissible to keep <br />wild or exotic animals as pets. There is currently no provision in the Code prohibiting <br />the keeping of wild or exotic animals as pets. For your information, I am attaching <br />copies of the other cities' ordinances defining wild and exotic animals. <br />You may also be interested to know that Section 1.103 of the City Code allows livestock <br />by permit, and Section 1104 would allow one horse per acre of property subject to certain <br />requirements. I have attached copies of these sections for your review. <br />Staff would like your direction and /or comment as to your position on the need for a <br />revision to the City Code. <br />Page 105 <br />
