She stated that <br />they had reviewed other ordinances within the metro area <br />and existing State Statutes to come up with the proposed <br />changes. Some of the problems currently encountered <br />include dogs at large and cats. She added that there <br />seems to be an increase in the number of people with <br />three (3) dogs and that the average number of dogs for <br />those having a kennel license is approximately five (5). <br />Mr. Johnson suggested we should look at the farm animal <br />ordinance in conjunction with this ordinance.

He questioned allowing <br />kennels and disrupting the piece and quite of the <br />community.
