Mr. Bona <br />presented statistics on 69 and 70 patroling (presently one hour per day) since <br />he started in 1956. He felt that the dog problem has increased 50% in the last <br />five years. <br />Certain citizens favored a leash law which Mr. Bona and the Council felt would <br />be ineffective and merely increase the bite cases in the Village. Mr. Bona <br />mentioned the methods of dog catching including citizen warnings and dog <br />impounding and disposal. It was decided to authorize Attorney Meyers to prepare <br />an amendment to the dog ordinance increasing impounding fees and pick up charges <br />in addition to requiring current rabiesshot certifications before dog licenses <br />are issued. Mr. Meyers is to check into a leash law also. <br />
