Council requests legislation on cruelty-to-animals code update (TA‑08‑2025)
Summary
After a public hearing, the Community of the Whole unanimously directed staff to draft legislation for TA‑08‑2025, a text amendment concerning cruelty to animals in the municipal code (MCO 505.08).
Council members voted unanimously to have staff prepare legislation for TA‑08‑2025, a proposed municipal code text amendment addressing cruelty to animals (MCO 505.08). Staff said a public hearing was held earlier in the regular council meeting and asked that the legislation be drafted for a subsequent meeting.
The motion to draft the ordinance language passed on roll call with all members recorded as voting yes. No change to the municipal code was adopted at this session; the night’s action was to request that staff prepare the ordinance language and bring it back for council consideration.
Planning and legal staff (as appropriate) will prepare the proposed ordinance and supporting materials, including the public hearing record, for council review at the next meeting.
