CITIZENS COMMENTS AND REQUESTS
Mike Herst, 8180 Eastwood Drive, stated that he would like the City to
run the dog control differently. Instead of picking up anybody's dog,
just pick up the trouble dogs. If the City receives a complaint they
should only check out the problem area.
Mayor Pickar stated that the City often gets some general complaints.
It is hard to pin down which dogs are from the neighborhood and which
dogs are running around. Mayor Pickar stated that there is a leash law.
Mr. Herst stated that there are very few complaints in his area and the
problem is with dogs from a few blocks away. He does not believe in the
leash law because dogs are suppose to protect the owners property.
4 ayes

Councilmember Shelquist questioned what should be done with the dogs?
Mr. Herst stated that people should shoot dogs that run around and he would
not care if somebody kicked his dog to get him off their property. Council-
member Baumgartner stated that instead of shooting the dog, the owner be
talked to because they are responsible for their dog.
Mayor Pickar stated that if Mr. Herst could find enough people that feel
the same as he does a hearing on the leash law could be held.
Mrs. Walter Kraseman, 4050 Glenhaven Lane, presented the Council with a
petition against the mobile home tiedowns.
Mike Lauterbach, 8193 Eastwood Drive, stated he objected to the dog
ordinance too because of the vandalism going on. The community
