Resident describes repeated pit‑bull attacks and rental blight; asks for enforcement
Summary
A resident reported multiple pit‑bull attacks and extensive outdoor debris at rental properties, said she has contacted the health department, and asked what recourse she has; she told the council she carries a CCW for protection.
Ola Forner of S. Morgan told the council she has been attacked twice by pit bulls and described widespread outdoor debris—refrigerators, stoves and furniture—at nearby rental properties. She said she contacted the health department and had previously spoken with city staff, but that the problems persist.
Forner asked what legal recourse she would have if she is attacked again on her property and said she carries a concealed‑carry permit for protection. Council members and staff acknowledged the complaint; Forner specifically cited animal‑control and code enforcement failures and urged more effective enforcement against dangerous dogs and property blight.
