portion of the ordinance. Mr. Hayes informed the City Clerk that the majority of the Council is in agreement with the tethering portion of the ordinance. Brian Hughes, 705 Ashley Drive, Crestview FL, wanted to congratulate the Council for resisting the urge to legislate. Because it is so easy to be influenced to pass a law against something and sometimes we don’t think the laws all the way through. He then gave an example of why items need to be thought through. Penny Crock, 310 Springwood Circle, Crestview FL, stated that she has owned up to fourteen dachshunds in a small yard, top show dogs. I have introduced myself to every person and have given them my personal information. She does not think tethering is good but if a dog jumps out of a pick-up truck in front of her car she will try to miss the dog and may hit a person. She believes restraint makes sense. A person will either take care of their dog or they won’t but someone should be able to walk in when abuse is happening. April Meier, 198 North Main Street, Crestview FL, had a question with Section 10-5, item number two that deals with no domestic animals can trespass on school grounds. Which she discussed this issue at the other Workshop concerning the Animal Ordinance. Dozier the Therapy dog does go to the schools and Ms. Meier feels the issue needs to be addressed. She then addressed the section that deals with having a dog for the physically handicap but not dogs that are used for emotional therapy. Ms. Roy stated that the section does state that the dog must trespass but if it is invited to the school there is no issue. Ken, Crestview FL, stated that he vaccinates his animals that include horses, dogs, rabbits, chickens and other animals. There are many stores that sell the vaccinations and he did not see 6 Workshop 05/12/14 Packet Pg. 412 that it was against the law because to take the animals to the a Vet it would cost four times the amount than the pack that is sold in stores. Mr. Hayes instructed the Clerk to research to find a statute that regulates vaccinations. Ms. Roy answered that it is possible that a person has to have a vet certificate to get a license. Landrum B. Edwards, 587 East Brock Avenue, Crestview FL, stated that yesterday afternoon he had a wild turkey in his yard and then he received a call from his neighbor asking him to quiet his dog and when he did there was a possum in the tree. He asked who is going to come get the possum out of the tree in the middle of the night. Mr. Edwards stated that he owned seventeen dogs at one time and was certified from his Vet to perform vaccinations to his animals. Thomas Simms, 426 Mara Drive, Crestview FL, stated that his concern is with chickens because he lives in Countryview on a quarter acre lot. From his understanding the chickens can roam free during the day in the lot. If that is done he cannot let his dog out because the dog will chase the chickens. Would it be his responsibility to train his dog to what a chicken is? His dog chases anything that comes in the yard, so since he can’t tether him what does he do. Mr. Rytman stated that he would like to see the ADA compliance added to the ordinance. Discussion ensued. 4. Other items as deemed necessary by Council 5.
