Motion carried.
6. Discussion on updating ordinance 19.03 Regulation and Licensing of Dogs and
Cats continued discussion on multi dog exception permit. The Committee reviewed
Wisconsin State Statue §174.053 and discussed the need for this as there are residents
currently owning and licensing more than 3 dogs. Our current ordinance allows for 3.
The committee recommends establishing a multiple dog license with an initial issuance
fee of $100 and an annual renewal fee of $100. Individual dog tags under the multiple
dog license will be issued separately at a cost of $35 and include a tag for each dog up
to 8. The license will apply to residents with a minimum of four (4) dogs and a maximum
of eight (8) dogs, with no more than eight dogs permitted. The committee further
recommends that if two written complaints are received within a one-year period, the
license holder will no longer be eligible for a multiple dog license. Any instance in which
a dog is taken to the Humane Society will count as one complaint toward this total. The
multiple dog license/permit must be signed and renewed annually.
7. Discussion on letter received from resident. Muleski stated he received a letter from
a resident regarding the change to an ordinance and them requesting consideration of
their use as it was in place before the ordinance change was done. Muleski stated he
will work with Daugherty to review past communication with this resident and will bring
more information to the board meeting.
