Audubon County chairman seeks ordinance on vicious dogs after Hamlin incidents
Summary
Chairman Kent Grabill told supervisors March 3 he plans to pursue a county ordinance addressing vicious dogs after recent incidents in Hamlin; he will consult the sheriff, county attorney and the vendor that manages ordinance updates before drafting.
Chairman Kent Grabill said the Board of Supervisors will pursue an ordinance to address vicious dogs in Audubon County after recent incidents in Hamlin. Grabill told the board he had consulted with the sheriff and the county attorney and that several questions must be answered before a draft ordinance can be prepared. He said he will contact the company that handles the county's ordinance updates to determine what specific details the county should provide before drafting begins.
The minutes state that "actions have been taken" regarding the current vicious-dog situation in Hamlin but provide no further detail about those measures. The board did not record a formal motion or vote to draft an ordinance at the March 3 meeting; the item was recorded as direction from the chairman and a next step of outreach to the ordinance vendor.
The board recorded no timeline for drafting or a public hearing on the proposed ordinance. The record indicates the county will gather more information from the sheriff's office, the county attorney and the ordinance vendor before bringing a formal proposal back to the board.
