Residents, trustees raise animal‑control concerns; council requests sample ordinance
Summary
A public commenter reported dogs running loose and trustees asked for a sample animal ordinance from the Michigan Municipal League, requesting the topic be added as a recurring agenda item for further consideration.
During public comment, B. Garbacz reported issues with dogs running loose from broken tie‑outs and wandering in the village. Trustee Parolini and Trustee Marier later discussed adopting an animal ordinance: Parolini suggested posting water issue notices at the post office or on doors and Marier requested a sample animal ordinance from the Michigan Municipal League and asked that the item be recurring on future agendas.
The minutes record the concern and the trustees’ request for a model ordinance but do not show formal action or a timeline for drafting or adoption. Trustees also noted Adams Township water rates are increasing, prompting the suggestion to add water postings in public places.
