Council to consult sheriff after discussion of potentially dangerous dog
Summary
The Ivanhoe City Council discussed a potentially dangerous dog complaint on Aug. 25 and directed the city administrator to contact the county sheriff's department about next steps; no enforcement action was taken at the meeting.
The Ivanhoe City Council discussed a potentially dangerous dog matter during its Aug. 25 meeting and directed the city administrator to contact the Lincoln County sheriff’s department for guidance on next steps.
The minutes record that the council agreed to follow through with the established steps for dangerous or potentially dangerous animals and that the city administrator will contact the sheriff’s office to determine enforcement options and procedures. No formal enforcement action, penalty or fee was adopted at the meeting; the council indicated it intends to present a proposed fee schedule for dangerous dogs at a future meeting.
Because the council took direction to consult the sheriff rather than issuing a local enforcement action, any subsequent steps will depend on sheriff guidance and any formal ordinance or fee the council adopts in a future session.
