Corunna council adopts stricter dog ordinance, approves enforcement procedures
Summary
The Corunna Town Council adopted Ordinance 2025-1 regarding vicious and dangerous dogs, establishing enforcement procedures and penalties. The measure passed by voice vote during the meeting after brief discussion; specific vote counts were not recorded in the minutes.
The Corunna Town Council voted to adopt Ordinance 2025-1, a revised animal-control measure focused on vicious and dangerous dogs and new enforcement procedures. A council member moved to adopt the ordinance on second and third reading and the motion carried by voice vote.
Council members said the updated ordinance clarifies enforcement steps and penalties for dangerous-animal incidents; the transcript identifies the measure as Ordinance 2025-1 but does not include a roll-call tally. Janet indicated she reviewed the language and was in favor. Council members then signed the ordinance as directed.
The ordinance was discussed in the context of other ongoing code-enforcement work the council reported, including letters sent for nonoperable vehicles, fence hazards and continuous animal barking at multiple properties. Officials did not provide an implementation timetable in the meeting and did not read a roll-call vote; they recorded adoption by voice vote and completed signing procedures on the meeting record.
The council also discussed a related nuisance ordinance (first reading) that consolidates parking-in-alleys rules, noise, trash and other public nuisance provisions; that measure received first reading approval to proceed to subsequent consideration.
The council ended the animal ordinance discussion by posting the adopted ordinance on the town website and arranging signatures. No appeals, enforcement schedules or specific fine amounts were detailed in the meeting transcript.
