| | Subject: | Introduction of an Ordinance adopting animal control regulations for the City of Garden Grove. (Action Item) | Date: | 10/24/2016 |
|
| | | | | | | | OBJECTIVE
For the City Council to introduce an Ordinance adopting animal control regulations for the City of Garden Grove to replace County regulations. |
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND
On April 26, 2016, the City Council authorized staff to terminate the City’s agreement with the County of Orange for animal care services and to enter into an agreement with the Orange County Humane Society for shelter services, effective January 1, 2017. Animal care field and licensing services will be provided by City staff. |
| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
Previously, the City adopted the County’s animal control regulations by reference with the County responsible for enforcement. Since the City will now be providing animal care field and licensing services, it is necessary for the City to adopt its own animal control regulations that will be enforced by City staff. The proposed regulations are modeled substantially after the County regulations, with sections that no longer apply to Garden Grove deleted. |
| | | | | | | | RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
- Introduce and conduct the first reading of the attached Ordinance adopting animal control regulations for the City of Garden Grove.
