Council approves second reading of dog‑park rules amendment after procedural revision
Summary
Staff described folding dog‑park rules into Chapter 26 as a cleanup to make rules enforceable; the council approved the second reading and amended the motion to avoid waiving the third reading because of voting requirements.
City staff described a cleanup to Chapter 26 that moves dog‑park rules from resolution into the municipal code so the rules become enforceable. Matt said the change merely codifies the existing dog‑park rules and called the item a cleanup to align enforcement authority with the ordinance.
"As I said in the 1st reading, this is a cleanup item," Matt said. The council moved to approve the second reading and initially attempted to waive the third reading; after council members noted they needed four votes to waive a reading, the motion was amended to proceed only with the second reading in title only. The council then voted to approve the second reading.
