offla e. at DATE : APPROVAL = NOVEMBER 9, 1989 TO : City Councilmembers FROM : Sue VanderHe den Acting City ITEM : DOG LICENSING ORDINANCE In response to the complaint concerning the licensing of dogs within St. Anthony and enforcement, I have gathered the following information. Licensing St. Anthony requires the name and address of the dog owner, as well as the name of the dog, its color, breed and proof of rabies vaccination. The only other information requested by the ten surrounding communities researched is the telephone number of the dog owner, the animal's sex, and whether or not it is spayed or neutered. I intend to develop with Judy Monson, the staff person responsible for issuing dog licenses, a system which will incorporate these other items as well as keep record of when more than two licenses have been issued to one home. To assist in keeping record of this, a license will not be issued to anyone but the dog owner who resides at the same residence as the animal . In addition, we will be advertising the need to license this year more visibly within the City Newsletter and community bulletin boards. Enforcement of Licensing and Complaints The - City of St. Anthony contracts with Animal Control and Management, Inc. to provide animal control services to the City of St. Anthony. Animal Control and Management Inc. provides limited patrol service (approximately. 17 hours for every 2 months, the contract provides for 1-1/2 hours per week) and on-call pick up service when contacted by the City's law enforcement agency.
