PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Eric Whittaker, Town resident and owner of dog, states the dog never would have bit anyone if it wasn't for him and it was all his fault. The dog bit the women who is staying at his place because they were arguing and they were being very loud and shaking fingers at each other. The dog also bit his brother last August because him and his brother were physically fighting.
DISCUSSION / REPORTS / ACTION ITEMS:
1. Discuss possible action to affirm determination of animal control for euthanization of an animal per ordinance section 6.12.030
Chief Short says the dog has been out multiple times in the past couple years. The dog lives right by a school and is a danger to children. The owner disagrees because he only bites when the owner is being threatened. Chief Short says the dog is a risk because it bites and it does not have its vaccinations. ACO York says the Mt.

General Consensus of the council, if the owner would like to keep the dog alive they must rehome it within the next 7 days and report to Chief hort or ACO York of where they are rehoming the dog outside the town limits.
