MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of Aldermen
FROM: Patricia D. Piecuch
City Clerk
DATE: June 21, 2017
RE: Warrant to be Committed to Chief of Police for Unlicensed Dogs
Pursuant to RSA 466:14, | am requesting the Board of Aldermen commit the warrant to the
Chief of Police so that either he or his designee will issue the Notice of Civil Forfeiture to those
dog owners who have failed to renew or license their dog(s) as required under RSA 466:1.
Those owners identified on the warrant are required to license their dog(s) and pay a $25 civil
forfeiture fee per dog and a $7 cost of service fee within 15 calendar days of the notice.
In March of this year we forwarded 11, a notices (4,807 by email and 6,298 by mail) to dog
owners to license their dog. On May 15" we mailed reminder postcards to 3,508 owners of
which 4,405 dogs remained unlicensed. Starting on June 15"" we started placing reminder
phone calls to 1,947 owners of which 2,442 dogs still remained unlicensed, in order to provide
every opportunity possible to avoid appearing on the warrant and incurring additional
forfeiture fees and fines. According to our records, there are currently 1,599 owners of which
1,994 dogs that remain unlicensed.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
