Key provisions of the amend-
ed ordinance are an enlarged
definition of "running at large."
changes m the city's licensing
fees, and provisions for more
effective enforcement of the

-We've had a problem with
what running at large' is." City
Attorney Ronald Yeager told
the council as he presented the
amendments
-Under the old ordinance, if a
dog was vaccinated, it could run
at large." Yeager explained
However, the revised ordinance
will make it illegal for a dog or
cat to "mn at large" whether it
ts licensed and vaccinated or
not
"Running at large” is
redefined to mean any dog or
rat. licensed or unlicensed,
which is off the premises of its
owner and not under someone's
physical control such as on a
leash or chain
Councilman Bill Howe ques
tioned the inclusion of cats
under the same provisions as
dogs
"How do you control a cat?”
asked Howe "You cannot keep
a cat like you can a dog "
He pointed out that no fence
will keep a cat on its owner's
premises if it wants to go
eisem-here and that cats can't be
kept chained or tied on a leash
Mayor J M Attaway said the
ordinance was aimed primarily
at the dog problem "That's
what we've been getting al the
complaints about "
Howe later questioned the
city's financial ability ts

the animals "Can the city
afford to have these awwnaK

Yeager replied that the oty
might have to -forget al—

ordinance
"This ordinance has ts be
