Council discusses clarifying dog-licensing ordinance; topic tabled
Summary
Council discussed clarifying fees and enforcement in the existing dog-licensing ordinance, reviewed Baker's model, and noted a $140 cost to buy 200 dog tags (~$0.71 each); the council tabled the ordinance updates to the next meeting.
Councilwoman Promise Miller reopened discussion on dog licensing, noting that Plevna’s ordinance lacks specificity on fee amounts and fines. She referenced Baker’s licensing structure (different fees for spayed/neutered animals and a Jan. 1–Dec. 31 license year) as a possible model and said the town already has an ordinance requiring all dogs within town limits be licensed.
Miller reported the town could purchase 200 'Town of Plevna' tags for $140 (about $0.71 per tag) and noted options to buy non-year-stamped tags for reuse across years. Council discussed timing—late in the year—and decided to table the matter until the next meeting for clearer implementation scheduling.
