Report to BuR. Kirk Cont'd...

3. and that Section 25 be amended by adding subsection (c):

"(c) the owner of any vicious dog impounded under this bylaw may reclaim
the dog upon application to the Poundkeeper and on proof of
ownership and upon payment of the licence fee for the current year,
if the licence fee has not been paid, and the expenses incurred in
impounding and maintaining such dog, as follows:

(i) pound fee of $250.00; and

ae

(144) per day or part day a maintenance cost of $5.00.'

BACKGROUND & COMMENTS:

At the Protective Services Committee meeting of April 15, 1992, the Protective
Services Committee gave approval to the above noted amendments.

The current Bylaw does not specifically provide for the control of vicious
dogs, nor does it adequately define the term "vicious dog". This amendment
will give the Poundkeeper the authority to deal more strictly with dangerous

dogs and help to ensure public safety.
