PROHIBITING DOGS IN FENCED-IN TOT LOTS
MOTION BY ALDERMAN KLEE TO AMEND O-20-031 BY REPLACING IT WITH THE GOLDENROD
COPY OF AMENDMENTS MADE AT THE PERSONNEL/ADMINISTRATIVE AFFAIRS COMMITTEE, BY
ROLL CALL
ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Klee
And if | may speak to that?

Alderman Klee.
Alderman Klee
Thank you so much. The animal, | am blanking on the name... the Committee that we put together, thank
you very much Alderman Lopez. They made three very, very good recommendations to the original
Ordinance. And that was to change the prohibiting dogs in fenced in tot lots, just prohibiting pets in fenced
in tot lots. At their Committee they had discussed that we live in a City of multi kind of pets from lizard type
things to chickens to everything. And they just felt that it was more encompassing to change it from “dogs”
to “pets”. | would hope that someone is not going to bring their pet chicken to run around there but you
never know. It was just a better way to go. The second thing that they changed was to add in that so for
instance it says “bring in a pet into the following fenced in tot lot except for service animals”. | had not
addressed that perhaps service animals should be able to go in there and they picked that up right away
and asked for that to be added and the Personnel/Administrative Affairs Committee did make that.
And the other thing that they asked was that we reference “future” fenced in tot lots. So those are the three
amendments to that. Once we vote on that | can address the Ordinance itself.
President Wilshire
