If a dog or other animal within the City bites any person or is <br /> reported as diseased, the police must, in the case of a bite, and may in all other cases, <br /> require that the animal be impounded at the designated pound for observation for <br /> sufficient time to determine whether it is diseased. The animal may not be killed or <br /> reclaimed and returned to the owner until ordered by the police. Any animal <br /> impounded for having bitten a person, which is subsequently released by the police, <br /> may be reclaimed by its owner upon payment of the impounding fee, cost of food <br /> and care, and any medical costs incurred while impounded. <br /> 1205.08 Disposition of Animals. At the expiration of at least seven full calendar <br /> days including five full regular business days from the time any animal is <br /> impounded, except in the case an animal ordered held in quarantine for a longer <br /> period by the police, if the animal has not been reclaimed and the fees paid under <br /> Subsection 1205.06, Subd. 2, the keeper of the pound may cause the animal to be <br /> humanely killed. Alternatively, the keeper may sell the animal, as abandoned and <br /> unclaimed by the owner, to any person upon payment of a sum of money not less <br /> than the license fee and not more than the amount the owner would have to pay to <br /> reclaim the dog. Notwithstanding the five-day limitation, if an animal has not been <br /> disposed of, it may be reclaimed upon payment of the amounts provided for in <br /> Subsection 1205.06, Subd. 2.

The keeper of the place of impounding must keep <br /> an accurate account of all animals impounded, and of all animals killed, sold or <br /> released, together with a record of all moneys received and costs expended. Such <br /> information will be reported at regular intervals to the City as required by the City. <br /> Section 1210 - ANIMALS PROHIBITED AS NUISANCES <br /> 1210.01 Certain Animals Declared Nuisances. <br /> Subd. 1.
