Summary

A Missoula resident urged a review of a local dog ordinance, saying better discretion is needed so well-behaved dogs can have more freedoms; the speaker did not identify the ordinance by official name or cite a specific proposed change.

A speaker during the Missoula public comment period urged officials to study the citys dog ordinance and consider granting more freedoms for well-behaved dogs.

"I definitely since I'm a I'm a dog person, the ordinance, the niche law ordinance, I think I would do a study on people and their dogs because I don't think people mind well behaved dogs," the resident said, urging "a lot more discretion" so dogs can have freedoms if they behave.

The speaker did not give an ordinance number or an exact text change and used the phrase "niche law ordinance," which was not identified further in the transcript. There is no record in the transcript of a motion, referral, or staff direction tied to the comment.

The remarks were made as a public appeal; no formal vote or staff assignment to review animal-control rules is recorded in the transcript.
