Riverview council adds study of potential ban on retail dog and cat sales to June agenda
Summary
At its May meeting, the city council agreed to add consideration of an ordinance that would prohibit retail sales of dogs and cats in pet stores to the June study session and directed staff and the city attorney to research feasibility and business impacts.
The Riverview City Council voted to add a resident request to its June study session asking the city to research the feasibility of an ordinance that would prohibit retail sales of dogs and cats in pet stores. The presiding officer said the ordinance would not bar rescue or adoption organizations from operating or hosting adoption events.
The council said it will invite the owner of Premier Pet Supply and the resident who requested the change to the June study session to discuss potential impacts on the business and community. The presiding officer directed the administration and the city attorney to conduct preliminary research and return findings to the council at the study session.
Councilmembers approved the motion to place the issue on the June agenda by roll call. No ordinance was adopted at the meeting; the action was to authorize study and staff research ahead of further deliberation.
