Date: May 4, 2005 <br />'To: Mayor and Council <br />From: Captain John Ohl <br />Michael Mornson, City Manager <br />SUBJECT. Animal Nuisance Ordinance <br />As you are aware, the Police Department has suggested the following changes to the <br />animal ordinance 1210.010 Subd. 1. <br />The new language is as follows: <br />No person owning operating, having charge of, or occupying, any building or <br />premises shall keep or allow to be kept any animal which, shall, by ally noise, <br />"unreasonably disturb the peace and quiet" shall include, but is not limited to, the <br />creation of any noise by any animal which can be heard by any person, including Animal <br />Control or any Law Enforcement Officer, from a location outside the building or <br />premises where the animal is being kept. Any animal noise, which, occurs repeatedly <br />over at least a five (5) minute period of time with a one (1) minute or less laps of time <br />between each animal noise during the five (5) minute period will be considered a <br />nuisance. <br />"Chis language would then be followed by our current language starting with "any female <br />dog in heat....", but would exclude any language regarding notification. <br />'This change provides an objective standard, the five minutes period of time, which, we <br />didn't previously have. <br />
