Village repeals local ban on pit bulls and cross-breeds
Summary
The Village Board adopted Ordinance 25-2 to repeal a local code provision cited in the minutes (transcript text: 'Section 3211') restricting ownership of pit bulls and cross-breeds. Trustees suspended readings and adopted the ordinance by a 5-0 vote.
Trustees moved Nov. 12 to suspend the readings of Ordinance 25-2 and then adopted the ordinance to remove a village code provision that had restricted the ownership of pit bulls and cross-breeds. Trustee Kaely Eberspacher made the motion to suspend readings; Trustee Jere Leif seconded. Trustee Brandon Mares moved to adopt Ordinance 25-2; Trustee Ray Foreman seconded. The roll-call vote was unanimous (5-0).
The minutes record the provision being repealed as 'Section 3211' in the transcript. The ordinance was adopted during the meeting without additional public comment recorded on the item. The board did not state an effective date in the minutes; the Village Clerk's office can confirm the ordinance's effective date and any implementation steps such as permit or registration changes.
The action removes the cited local restriction on pit bulls and cross-breeds from the village code as recorded in the meeting minutes. Trustees did not describe companion measures such as leash, licensing, or enforcement changes at the Nov. 12 meeting.
