15 PUBLIC COMMENT
16
17 Charlie Swanson, 1210 Buckthorn Lane, addressed the council regarding his concern about pet
18 owners not picking up their pet's waste. It's been a long-standing problem in his neighborhood and
19 he was promised previously that waste holder dispensers would be installed but it never happened.
20 He has spoken with the Police Department but the Community Service Officer who assisted had no
21 idea what the city fine is for not picking up. In his area, neighbors are using a field across the way as
22 a bathroom for their dogs and not picking up the waste. Council Member Rafferty noted that there
23 has been a similar problem in his neighborhood; his HOA paid for the special boxes and it has helped
24 somewhat.
25
26 Mayor Reinert asked that the matter be put on a work session agenda and the council asked to add the
27 matter of leash regulations to that discussion. Police Chief Swenson added that the Police
28 Department is working on a YouTube video for animal control information; it should be available
29 soon(March/April).
