Animal control administrator (speaker 3) described aligning the county ordinance with state statute by removing the 'potentially dangerous' designation and adding an 'irresponsible owner' category for conduct not addressed in state law. She said the state's attorney recommended removing 'potentially dangerous' and that an 'irresponsible owner' designation would apply after three convictions or guilty findings within a year.
