CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION
Minutes
AUGUST 26, 2025
Present:
Mayor & Council:
Mayor Wendy Webster, Councilmembers Lona Doolan, Nadia Elnagdy, Jan Jenson, and Thomas Randle.
Absent: None
Staff:
City Manager Charlie Yunker, Assistant City Manager Ashley Morello, and City Code Official Richard
Sonterre.
Others: None
Call to Order:
Mayor Webster called the Work Session to order at 5:30 p.m.
1.Approval of CC WS Meeting Minutes.
A.August 12, 2025 City Council Work Session Minutes.
Motion by Councilmember Doolan, seconded by Councilmember Jenson, to approve the City Council
Work Session Minutes of August 12, 2025, as presented.
Motion carried 5-0.
2.Work Session Topics.
A.Dangerous Dog Ordinance.
City Code Official Richard Sonterre reviewed the City Council's action on April 8, 2025, following the
third reading, which passed an amendment to the City Code, Section 91.30 – Definitions. The definitions
were part of a broader amendment to the Animal Control section of the code. For reasons unknown, the
substantive changes to the application of code, specific to Dangerous or Diseased Animals, and the
Appeals process for animals deemed potentially dangerous or dangerous, were not presented along
with the corresponding definitions.
Following recent encounters with dogs that may be potentially dangerous or dangerous, meetings with
detectives in the police department found our existing code for these issues to be inadequate for
meeting the needs to define these animals as such and not consistent with current State statute. As
such, the Staff conducted research on the topic, consulted the language adopted by other cities, and
brought the language through the Code Committee, which was approved for presentation to the City
Council. Mr. Sonterre provided the language that should have been presented with the definitions
already approved by the City Council.
As the current language remains inadequate and the recently approved definitions do not correspond to
the current dangerous or diseased animals’ language, the Staff is seeking input on the proposed
3
August 26, 2025 St. Anthony Council Work Session - 2
amended language. Following this discussion and feedback, the proposed language will be brought
forward to the City Council for formal consideration.
Mr. Sonterre made some additional changes to the language offered to the City Council in Section C and
Section 8.
Councilmember Jenson referred to the State Statute being more definitive and asked Mr. Sonterre to
explain the differences. Mr. Sonterre stated the main differences are that the State Statute has a
defined list of definitions between a potentially dangerous dog and a dangerous dog, and what the
qualifiers are. The existing language did not replicate that information in the determination process.
Councilmember Jenson asked if the requirements are now mirrored with the State Statute. Mr. Sonterre
stated that a process has been created to determine the category of the dog. This also outlines an
appeal process and a process for reassessing a dog.
Councilmember Elnagdy stated she has concerns with two sections – Section C Sub 7 and 8. She noted
that 7 days before a dog is destroyed is less than one pay cycle, and this seems like an inequitable
application because if you don’t have the money, you can’t get the dog back. Those without the funds
are being punished.
Councilmember Jenson asked about the rationale for the number of days for the owner to respond. Mr.
Sonterre stated it is consistent with other cities. We followed the language that other cities have been
using. Mr. Sonterre stated the only question on the financial piece is whether there would be a change
between 7 and 14 days to make a payment. There is a cost for the number of days the dog is held.
Mayor Webster asked if the City has the dog in its possession. The longer we wait, the higher the cost
for getting the dog back.
Councilmember Randle stated he does not see an issue with it being 7 or 14 days. A responsible dog
owner does what needs to be done. He does not like the fact that we need to police people with their
dogs. Equity has no place. If you can afford to own a pet, you should be able to afford to do the right
thing.
Councilmember Elnagdy stated she disagrees and believes equity should be involved in every discussion
at every level of government. She sees the difference between 7 and 14 days, with 14 days allowing for
owner to receive a paycheck. She does not think asking for a pay cycle is an unreasonable
accommodation.
Councilmember Doolan asked if payment arrangements could be made and keep it at 7 days.
Councilmember Jenson stated that if someone cannot afford to pay, they will put off payment. He asked
if State Statutes include this language, and Mr. Sonterre stated that this is the same as other cities and is
not included in State Statutes. If the cost is not paid by the owner, it will be paid by the City. This is not
happening often in the City.
4
August 26, 2025 St. Anthony Council Work Session - 3
Mayor Webster noted that whatever costs the City incurs, the City will try to collect that from the
owner.
The council members agreed to change it to 14 days.
Mayor Webster asked what if a dangerous dog gets rehomed to St. Anthony. Mr. Sonterre stated it
would need to be licensed through the police department as a dangerous dog. Mr. Sonterre reviewed
section 6, which refers to bringing a dangerous dog into St. Anthony. There is an annual licensing
procedure for a dangerous dog if the dog does not get reclassified. There are restrictions for housing a
dangerous dog, such as being in a kennel with signage that a dangerous dog is present.
Councilmember Elnagdy referred to Section E, sub 8, law enforcement exemption. Why are police dogs
exempt from acting without provocation? Mr. Sonterre stated that language is in every ordinance that
was reviewed, and it was kept as part of the policy.
Councilmember Doolan asked if a retired police dog would be exempt, and Mr. Sonterre stated that is
the intent of the language. A retired dog would not have the same protection as an active police dog.
Councilmember Elnagdy stated she believes police dogs are highly trained animals, and we should be
most concerned about those police dogs. It seems we would want to be more stringent in the policing of
those animals. She asked if 8 could be removed. Mr. Sonterre stated it could be removed. Mr. Sonterre
will research the policy on police dogs within the City.
Councilmember Randle stated that, to his knowledge, there are no police dogs in the department.
Mayor Webster stated that this applies to police dogs that work in other cities. Councilmember Jenson
stated that if a police officer lives in St. Anthony but works in another city, and is used for law
enforcement is covered by policy for police dogs.
Councilmember Doolan asked if police officers should manage their dogs as other residents manage
their dogs. She asked if the City wouldn’t have liability if a police dog were to become dangerous.
Councilmember Elnagdy stated it would depend on the police department’s policy on police dogs. This
clause leaves it open for non-St. Anthony police. Councilmember Elnagdy asked if there is a police
department policy on police dogs.
Councilmember Doolan asked if a dog living in St. Anthony, working for another department, should be
registered.
Mayor Webster asked if this clause was removed, and if a police dog were to bite someone, what would
happen. Mr. Sonterre stated it would fall under the policy like any other dog within the City. The City
would have the same means of rectification. The consensus of the Council was to remove that section
(8) of the policy.
Councilmember Doolan reviewed the Statute to see the definition between potentially dangerous and
dangerous. Mr. Sonterre stated that those definitions were approved by Council in March of 2025.

resident agent of the rental dwelling specifying the alleged deficiency. If the owner or
resident agent does not take action to correct the alleged problem the occupant may
contact the city and request an inspection of the rental dwelling by the City Manager or
16
designee upon showing proof that the owner or resident agent had been properly notified
and has been given a reasonable time in which to correct deficiencies. The cost of the
inspection shall be paid by the owner if the city’s inspection reveals actual deficiencies as
described by the occupant. If the inspection by the city substantiates the claim of non-
compliance made by the occupant, the city inspector shall issue a compliance order to the
owner or resident agent establishing the scope of work and timeframe for completion.
The cost of the inspection to affirm the work identified in the compliance order shall be
paid by the owner in the amount established in the city fee schedule.
§ 152.13 CONDUCT ON LICENSED PREMISES; VIOLATIONS.
(A) Owner responsible. It shall be the responsibility of the owner or resident
agent to see that persons occupying the rental dwelling conduct themselves in
such a manner as not to cause the premises to be disorderly. This section applies

which any of the following activities occur:
