Provide your input on proposed changes to city
animal ordinances
|
|
The city of Aurora wants residents’ input on
proposed changes to animal-related ordinances via a series of
open houses in June, and online feedback forms available through
July 15.
After a multi-year review process, Aurora Animal
Services, in conjunction with the City Attorney’s Office, has
proposed changes to Chapter 14 of the city's Code of Ordinances
regarding animals. This is the first complete review of Chapter
14 since the 1970s. Among the changes proposed are the creation
of a shelter-neuter-release program for community cats, an
expanded definition of animal cruelty, a new prohibition on
animal fighting, revisions to shelter fees and penalties, and new
reporting requirements for barking-dog complaints.
Two other proposed Chapter 14 ordinance revisions
have recently been added for consideration, one regarding the
American Bully breed and the other regarding aggressive,
potentially dangerous and dangerous animals.
To ensure that Aurora residents can provide their
input on all of the above proposals, a webpage has been created
at AuroraGov.org/AnimalOrdinance
that details the changes, links to online feedback forms and
contains answers to frequently asked questions.
In addition, three public open houses are
scheduled in June where residents can ask questions and learn
more about the proposed changes. No RSVP is necessary.
Anyone interested in joining an email notification
list for updates on the Chapter 14 revision process can request
to be added to the list by emailing animalordinance@auroragov.org.
