MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of Aldermen
FROM: Patricia D. Piecu
City Clerk
DATE: June 7, 2018
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 11,272 notices (5,287 by email and 5,985 by mail) to dog
owners to license their dog. On May 17" we mailed reminder postcards to 4,033 owners of
which 5,107 dogs remained unlicensed. Since the postcard mailing, we were able to license or
remove from our database 2,108 dogs. We currently have 2,388 owners of which 2,999 dogs
still remain unlicensed.
Time permitting, we will start making reminder phone calls to any owners who still have not
licensed their dog in order to provide every opportunity possible to avoid charging the civil
forfeiture fee.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
pe: Andrew Lavoie, Chief of Police
Mayor James W. Donchess
