>> starting off we're going to 95 00:04:40,972 --> 00:04:42,840 change our fines so previously 96 00:04:42,840 --> 00:04:43,574 the fine amounts varied 97 00:04:43,574 --> 00:04:44,141 depending on

want? 227 00:07:38,151 --> 00:07:39,519 No, I have a couple 228 00:07:39,519 --> 00:07:40,253 of questions but we can go back 229 00:07:40,253 --> 00:07:43,253 into further expansion on that 230 00:07:43,256 --> 00:07:43,823 this is one that I'm very proud 231 00:07:43,823 --> 00:07:46,726 to bring to the city. 232 00:07:46,726 --> 00:07:47,393 No person other than a licensed 233 00:07:47,393 --> 00:07:48,161 veterinarian shall crop the 234 00:07:48,161 --> 00:07:50,563 ears of a dog or duck the tail 235 00:07:50,563 --> 00:07:51,331 of a dog so nobody inside the 236 00:07:51,331 --> 00:07:54,931 city MAY modify their dogs ears 237 00:07:55,435 --> 00:07:56,350 at home doing their own ear 238 00:07:56,350 --> 00:07:56,369 cutting, trimming, tail 239 00:07:56,369 --> 00:07:58,369 docking. 240 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:00,739 >> none of that must be done by 241 00:08:00,739 --> 00:08:01,207 a vegetarian and must have 242 00:08:01,207 --> 00:08:02,309 proof of that. 243 00:08:02,309 --> 00:08:03,430 It was done by licensed 244 00:08:03,430 --> 00:08:03,709 veterinary and I'm very excited 245 00:08:03,709 --> 00:08:04,100 to bring that one into the 246 00:08:04,100 --> 00:08:06,100 city. 247 00:08:06,612 --> 00:08:07,280 >> this is our current. 248 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:07,647 So this is what it is 249 00:08:07,647 --> 00:08:09,549 replacing. 250 00:08:09,549 --> 00:08:10,283 So right now our current 251 00:08:10,283 --> 00:08:11,170 ordinance says that the owner 252 00:08:11,170 --> 00:08:13,854 cannot keep the animal in it, 253 00:08:13,854 --> 00:08:14,620 must maintain it in a free 254 00:08:14,620 --> 00:08:17,924 of feces waste or to the extent 255 00:08:17,924 --> 00:08:18,558 that the prevent the noxious 256 00:08:18,558 --> 00:08:19,225 odor offensive odors from 257 00:08:19,225 --> 00:08:21,625 escaping into a neighboring 258 00:08:21,861 --> 00:08:22,796 rights of land or property. 259 00:08:22,796 --> 00:08:25,365 Again, not a lot of area for us 260 00:08:25,365 --> 00:08:25,966 to articulate animal cruelty 261 00:08:25,966 --> 00:08:28,366 and welfare in there. 262 00:08:28,368 --> 00:08:29,350 This new ordinance replacing 263 00:08:29,350 --> 00:08:29,770 this one would give us the 264 00:08:29,770 --> 00:08:30,436 ability to go further and do 265 00:08:30,436 --> 00:08:32,306 all those things that we 266 00:08:32,306 --> 00:08:34,706 already discussed updates to 267 00:08:36,176 --> 00:08:37,100 the tethering ordinance. 268 00:08:37,100 --> 00:08:37,577 >> so currently we do have a 269 00:08:37,577 --> 00:08:38,278 tethering ordinance. 270 00:08:38,278 --> 00:08:40,847 This is probably the longest 271 00:08:40,847 --> 00:08:41,281 section in your guys is back in 272 00:08:41,281 --> 00:08:41,982 front of you. 273 00:08:41,982 --> 00:08:42,616 So to highlight some of the 274 00:08:42,616 --> 00:08:44,484 major changes that we're 275 00:08:44,484 --> 00:08:45,218 looking at for that our 276 00:08:45,218 --> 00:08:48,870 changing of the verbiage from 277 00:08:48,870 --> 00:08:48,855 discouraged to prohibited we 278 00:08:48,855 --> 00:08:49,557 are not trying to encourage or 279 00:08:49,557 --> 00:08:51,859 just discourage people from 280 00:08:51,859 --> 00:08:52,626 tethering their animals. 281 00:08:52,626 --> 00:08:53,327 We want to prohibit it unless 282 00:08:53,327 --> 00:08:55,727 it's following that ordinance 283 00:08:55,862 --> 00:08:56,763 that we're proposing. 284 00:08:56,763 --> 00:08:57,497 >> so now a person must remain 285 00:08:57,497 --> 00:08:59,533 in sight of the animal so you 286 00:08:59,533 --> 00:09:00,201 can't leave your dog tied out 287 00:09:00,201 --> 00:09:00,667 unattended for an extended 288 00:09:00,667 --> 00:09:02,667 period of time. 289 00:09:03,504 --> 00:09:04,204 You must maintain line of sight 290 00:09:04,204 --> 00:09:07,400 or some kind of control or 291 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:07,641 visual of that animal. 292 00:09:07,641 --> 00:09:08,342 We expand the tethering 293 00:09:08,342 --> 00:09:11,110 ordinance from dogs to all 294 00:09:11,110 --> 00:09:11,746 animals not an issue that we 295 00:09:11,746 --> 00:09:12,513 have seen here in new smyrna 296 00:09:12,513 --> 00:09:15,215 beach but it has been an issue 297 00:09:15,215 --> 00:09:15,916 in animal welfare. 298 00:09:15,916 --> 00:09:16,617 We've seen people tethering 299 00:09:16,617 --> 00:09:19,253 cats and other weird critters 300 00:09:19,253 --> 00:09:19,987 so to blanket cover that we're 301 00:09:19,987 --> 00:09:22,987 going to say all animals 302 00:09:23,257 --> 00:09:23,991 clarification restrictions 303 00:09:23,991 --> 00:09:24,692 of public and private property 304 00:09:24,692 --> 00:09:27,294 right away as easements in 305 00:09:27,294 --> 00:09:28,610 neighboring properties that 306 00:09:28,610 --> 00:09:28,795 would probably be something to 307 00:09:28,795 --> 00:09:29,463 shake and give you guys more 308 00:09:29,463 --> 00:09:32,500 of an answer on but that 309 00:09:32,500 --> 00:09:33,340 governs you know, how far can 310 00:09:33,340 --> 00:09:33,801 the tether extend? 311 00:09:33,801 --> 00:09:35,202 Can it reach out to a sidewalk 312 00:09:35,202 --> 00:09:35,970 and it could be an easement 313 00:09:35,970 --> 00:09:36,771 between the properties and then 314 00:09:36,771 --> 00:09:39,306 not allowing the dog to go into 315 00:09:39,306 --> 00:09:40,107 your neighboring property. 316 00:09:40,107 --> 00:09:42,577 >> new we're going to add 317 00:09:42,577 --> 00:09:43,277 operative swivels to each ends 318 00:09:43,277 --> 00:09:44,440 of the tether so each end 319 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,313 of the tether will be required 320 00:09:46,313 --> 00:09:46,881 to have a swivel on it and that 321 00:09:46,881 --> 00:09:47,548 will prevent any form 322 00:09:47,548 --> 00:09:47,981 of choking or entanglements 323 00:09:47,981 --> 00:09:49,751 of the tether. 324 00:09:49,751 --> 00:09:50,218 It would be required to swivel 325 00:09:50,218 --> 00:09:50,918 on both sides. 326 00:09:50,918 --> 00:09:53,318 >> multiple dogs will be 327 00:09:54,188 --> 00:09:54,856 required to be on their own 328 00:09:54,856 --> 00:09:55,623 individual tether right now 329 00:09:55,623 --> 00:09:57,592 they're not to my knowledge is 330 00:09:57,592 --> 00:09:58,359 anything in the ordinance that 331 00:09:58,359 --> 00:10:00,928 says that you can't clip four 332 00:10:00,928 --> 00:10:01,262 dogs to one tether so now we'll 333 00:10:01,262 --> 00:10:02,300 have it. 334 00:10:02,300 --> 00:10:03,665 >> so each dog must have its 335 00:10:03,665 --> 00:10:04,532 own tether. 336 00:10:04,532 --> 00:10:05,333 >> the tether must not extend 337 00:10:05,333 --> 00:10:07,101 over an object or an edge that 338 00:10:07,101 --> 00:10:07,869 could result in strangulation, 339 00:10:07,869 --> 00:10:10,269 entanglement, injury or death. 340 00:10:12,730 --> 00:10:12,840 So if you have a dock in your 341 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:13,575 backyard maybe you live over on 342 00:10:13,575 --> 00:10:15,420 riverside, you have a dock in 343 00:10:15,420 --> 00:10:15,911 your backyard, you can't have 344 00:10:15,911 --> 00:10:19,347 it so that your dog could hang 345 00:10:19,347 --> 00:10:21,747 off of that dock. 346 00:10:22,350 --> 00:10:23,284 >> the nuisance guys are on the 347 00:10:23,284 --> 00:10:25,920 tethering in the back of a 348 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:26,888 truck bed. 349 00:10:26,888 --> 00:10:29,824 I'm not I'm not clear on how 350 00:10:29,824 --> 00:10:30,692 that is addressed here. 351 00:10:30,692 --> 00:10:31,392 >> yeah so we have a separate 352 00:10:31,392 --> 00:10:33,761 ordinance currently that any 353 00:10:33,761 --> 00:10:34,396 dog that rides in the open bed 354 00:10:34,396 --> 00:10:34,796 of pickup truck must be 355 00:10:34,796 --> 00:10:35,430 restrained. 356 00:10:35,430 --> 00:10:37,830 It's a separate ordinance 357 00:10:37,899 --> 00:10:38,667 that's already in effect that 358 00:10:38,667 --> 00:10:39,334 we are not changing or removing 359 00:10:39,334 --> 00:10:41,602 that in any shape or form. 360 00:10:41,602 --> 00:10:41,903 Okay because I do remember that 361 00:10:41,903 --> 00:10:42,337 order. 362 00:10:42,337 --> 00:10:42,604 >> thank you. 363 00:10:42,604 --> 00:10:43,238 Yep. 364 00:10:43,238 --> 00:10:45,140 So currently the nuisance 365 00:10:45,140 --> 00:10:45,907 animal ordinance states that 366 00:10:45,907 --> 00:10:46,574 any animal must create a noise 367 00:10:46,574 --> 00:10:49,277 in excess of ten minutes. 368 00:10:49,277 --> 00:10:49,978 >> the new proposals will 369 00:10:49,978 --> 00:10:50,312 change that ordinance to 2 370 00:10:50,312 --> 00:10:51,790 minutes. 371 00:10:51,790 --> 00:10:53,448 However, it's going to create a 372 00:10:53,448 --> 00:10:54,182 section that states that it can 373 00:10:54,182 --> 00:10:56,318 cause any annoyance discomfort, 374 00:10:56,318 --> 00:10:56,985 disturbance of the peace 375 00:10:56,985 --> 00:10:57,318 of sleeper or a reasonable 376 00:10:57,318 --> 00:10:57,920 person. 377 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,255 >> why I believe that's 378 00:11:00,255 --> 00:11:00,989 important for our residents is 379 00:11:00,989 --> 00:11:03,258 just because if the dog is 380 00:11:03,258 --> 00:11:03,825 barking at 2:00 in the 381 00:11:03,825 --> 00:11:04,559 afternoon makes a big 382 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:05,193 difference if the dogs barking 383 00:11:05,193 --> 00:11:07,593 at 2:00 in the morning. 384 00:11:07,729 --> 00:11:08,430 So if it's disturbing the sleep 385 00:11:08,430 --> 00:11:09,131 of a reasonable person, that 386 00:11:09,131 --> 00:11:11,432 would be something that we 387 00:11:11,432 --> 00:11:12,101 could now move forward with 388 00:11:12,101 --> 00:11:12,801 issuing citations for where 389 00:11:12,801 --> 00:11:14,736 previously it would have to 390 00:11:14,736 --> 00:11:15,137 meet that ten minute 391 00:11:15,137 --> 00:11:15,871 requirement. 392 00:11:15,871 --> 00:11:16,638 >> so hopefully that gives our 393 00:11:16,638 --> 00:11:18,840 residents who are having issues 394 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,210 with dogs at night a bit of a 395 00:11:22,210 --> 00:11:22,977 peace of mind, a new law. 396 00:11:22,977 --> 00:11:23,712 >> this one again one of my 397 00:11:23,712 --> 00:11:26,181 favorite ones I'm very excited 398 00:11:26,181 --> 00:11:26,882 to bring to you guys the owner 399 00:11:26,882 --> 00:11:29,840 operator of her motor vehicle 400 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:29,818 shall not place or confine an 401 00:11:29,818 --> 00:11:30,552 animal nor allow an animal to 402 00:11:30,552 --> 00:11:32,821 be placed or confined in any 403 00:11:32,821 --> 00:11:33,555 unattended motor vehicle 404 00:11:33,555 --> 00:11:34,256 without sufficient ventilation 405 00:11:34,256 --> 00:11:37,125 or under conditions which MAY 406 00:11:37,125 --> 00:11:37,893 endanger the health well-being 407 00:11:37,893 --> 00:11:40,962 of the animal due to heat, lack 408 00:11:40,962 --> 00:11:41,597 of water or other circumstances 409 00:11:41,597 --> 00:11:42,164 which MAY cause suffering 410 00:11:42,164 --> 00:11:42,797 disability or death. 411 00:11:42,797 --> 00:11:45,534 So currently there is no 412 00:11:45,534 --> 00:11:46,235 ordinance in the city that says 413 00:11:46,235 --> 00:11:47,200 that you can't leave your dog 414 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,304 in an unattended motor vehicle. 415 00:11:49,304 --> 00:11:50,105 >> the only time that that 416 00:11:50,105 --> 00:11:50,806 would become a crime is when it 417 00:11:50,806 --> 00:11:53,708 becomes to a cruelty point. 418 00:11:53,708 --> 00:11:54,410 So when we can articulate that 419 00:11:54,410 --> 00:11:56,611 this dog is in distress or 420 00:11:56,611 --> 00:11:57,279 we're reaching the levels 421 00:11:57,279 --> 00:11:57,980 of animal cruelty and going 422 00:11:57,980 --> 00:12:00,782 forward with an arrest, the 423 00:12:00,782 --> 00:12:01,550 goal behind this ordinance is 424 00:12:01,550 --> 00:12:02,284 to be able to have some kind 425 00:12:02,284 --> 00:12:04,987 of preemptive way to speak to 426 00:12:04,987 --> 00:12:05,721 people to give some education 427 00:12:05,721 --> 00:12:08,230 and to give some enforcement 428 00:12:08,230 --> 00:12:08,257 prior to getting to that point 429 00:12:08,257 --> 00:12:08,891 . 430 00:12:08,891 --> 00:12:09,625 >> again, we don't want 431 00:12:09,625 --> 00:12:12,625 everybody to be leaving their 432 00:12:12,795 --> 00:12:13,595 dogs in the car in the heat. 433 00:12:13,595 --> 00:12:14,196 >> we also don't want everybody 434 00:12:14,196 --> 00:12:16,398 to go to jail for it. 435 00:12:16,398 --> 00:12:17,660 So this gives us an in-between 436 00:12:17,660 --> 00:12:17,600 point so we can have an 437 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:18,330 educational comment 438 00:12:18,330 --> 00:12:20,330 conversation. 439 00:12:20,470 --> 00:12:21,136 That way it doesn't go from, 440 00:12:21,136 --> 00:12:23,773 you know, running into the 441 00:12:23,773 --> 00:12:24,574 store for five minutes to grab 442 00:12:24,574 --> 00:12:25,274 something to next time they run 443 00:12:25,274 --> 00:12:27,376 in the store for an hour and 444 00:12:27,376 --> 00:12:27,910 now we have a dog who's been in 445 00:12:27,910 --> 00:12:28,711 a car for an hour. 446 00:12:28,711 --> 00:12:29,345 >> so this gives us some form 447 00:12:29,345 --> 00:12:31,280 of accountability there. 448 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:31,882 Did you say there was not 449 00:12:31,882 --> 00:12:32,514 previously an ordinance 450 00:12:32,514 --> 00:12:34,851 addressing this the city 451 00:12:34,851 --> 00:12:35,585 of deltona and unincorporated 452 00:12:35,585 --> 00:12:37,887 lucia county both have this 453 00:12:37,887 --> 00:12:41,487 exact ordinance but we do not. 454 00:12:41,558 --> 00:12:42,525 Don't forget what? 455 00:12:42,525 --> 00:12:45,610 >> so this is if I'm reading 456 00:12:45,610 --> 00:12:45,828 this correctly it's saying that 457 00:12:45,828 --> 00:12:49,599 an animal can be left in an 458 00:12:49,599 --> 00:12:50,366 unattended vehicle as long as 459 00:12:50,366 --> 00:12:50,700 there's sufficient ventilation. 460 00:12:50,700 --> 00:12:51,330 >> yeah. 461 00:12:51,330 --> 00:12:51,334 Correct. 462 00:12:51,334 --> 00:12:52,602 Yeah. 463 00:12:52,602 --> 00:12:53,369 So if you have like one of the 464 00:12:53,369 --> 00:12:54,203 ev's that you can leave the car 465 00:12:54,203 --> 00:12:56,673 on and it runs the air 466 00:12:56,673 --> 00:12:57,373 conditioning or it has like a 467 00:12:57,373 --> 00:12:58,142 dog mode or a kid mode or 468 00:12:58,142 --> 00:13:00,176 something like that that would 469 00:13:00,176 --> 00:13:00,910 be fine even if somebody left 470 00:13:00,910 --> 00:13:02,945 their vehicle running as long 471 00:13:02,945 --> 00:13:03,646 as there were sufficient 472 00:13:03,646 --> 00:13:06,646 ventilation for the dog that 473 00:13:07,217 --> 00:13:09,217 would be okay. 474 00:13:10,186 --> 00:13:10,820 Oh, MISS Mccurdy, if we're not 475 00:13:10,820 --> 00:13:13,820 when I read that that's 476 00:13:16,959 --> 00:13:17,193 sufficient is a very vague term 477 00:13:17,193 --> 00:13:17,894 . 478 00:13:17,894 --> 00:13:20,497 My understanding at this at 479 00:13:20,497 --> 00:13:21,330 this point I don't know if it's 480 00:13:21,330 --> 00:13:22,980 just in the county or not but 481 00:13:22,980 --> 00:13:24,567 one of the proposed ordinances 482 00:13:24,567 --> 00:13:25,602 previously for the city animals 483 00:13:25,602 --> 00:13:28,371 are not allowed to be left in a 484 00:13:28,371 --> 00:13:29,305 car any unattended at any time 485 00:13:29,305 --> 00:13:32,175 and even if all the windows are 486 00:13:32,175 --> 00:13:35,175 down or whatever because even 487 00:13:35,745 --> 00:13:36,379 this time of year constant 488 00:13:36,379 --> 00:13:39,379 reminder of how hot these 489 00:13:39,416 --> 00:13:40,830 vehicles can get in my did I 490 00:13:40,830 --> 00:13:43,830 misread that or was that. 491 00:13:43,553 --> 00:13:44,321 >> I have never seen that in 492 00:13:44,321 --> 00:13:46,656 our ordinance nor ever seen it 493 00:13:46,656 --> 00:13:47,424 in another ordinance because we 494 00:13:47,424 --> 00:13:48,240 have to really balance the fact 495 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,424 that the florida statute 496 00:13:51,361 --> 00:13:52,262 dictates a lot of this. 497 00:13:52,262 --> 00:13:55,320 So we can't be almost too 498 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:55,833 strict compared to what florida 499 00:13:55,833 --> 00:13:58,702 statute is permitting people to 500 00:13:58,702 --> 00:13:59,403 do which florida statute does 501 00:13:59,403 --> 00:14:00,170 permit people to leave their 502 00:14:00,170 --> 00:14:02,639 animals in the vehicle as long 503 00:14:02,639 --> 00:14:03,507 as they're not under duress. 504 00:14:03,507 --> 00:14:06,143 What we're trying to do is say 505 00:14:06,143 --> 00:14:06,844 you have to provide like you 506 00:14:06,844 --> 00:14:09,980 could leave an animal in a 507 00:14:09,980 --> 00:14:10,614 vehicle with the windows up for 508 00:14:10,614 --> 00:14:11,348 probably maybe two minutes 509 00:14:11,348 --> 00:14:14,348 before it becomes under duress 510 00:14:14,451 --> 00:14:15,219 and now we have to wait for 511 00:14:15,219 --> 00:14:16,200 that animal to get under duress 512 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:17,454 to break the window to do so x, 513 00:14:17,454 --> 00:14:18,321 y and z. 514 00:14:18,321 --> 00:14:19,189 What he is trying to articulate 515 00:14:19,189 --> 00:14:21,458 is that hey, if you leave the 516 00:14:21,458 --> 00:14:22,393 animal in the car with the 517 00:14:22,393 --> 00:14:25,462 windows up and walk away, I can 518 00:14:25,462 --> 00:14:26,130 instantaneously stop you right 519 00:14:26,130 --> 00:14:26,530 there and say this is not 520 00:14:26,530 --> 00:14:28,530 sufficient. 521 00:14:29,300 --> 00:14:30,000 If we need to change the word 522 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:30,700 sufficient because you're not 523 00:14:30,700 --> 00:14:33,437 comfortable with it we can 524 00:14:33,437 --> 00:14:34,105 potentially define it further 525 00:14:34,105 --> 00:14:34,838 in there and that's kind 526 00:14:34,838 --> 00:14:35,572 of what this conversation is 527 00:14:35,572 --> 00:14:37,341 about is defining maybe some 528 00:14:37,341 --> 00:14:38,420 terms that we need to clarify 529 00:14:38,420 --> 00:14:41,420 if you think sufficient needs 530 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:41,779 to be defined or we need to 531 00:14:41,779 --> 00:14:42,246 find a different terminology to 532 00:14:42,246 --> 00:14:44,246 help with that. 533 00:14:44,482 --> 00:14:45,249 But to my knowledge right now 534 00:14:45,249 --> 00:14:48,285 we do not have anything that 535 00:14:48,285 --> 00:14:48,619 would go against florida 536 00:14:48,619 --> 00:14:49,320 statute. 537 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,220 >> I do think that needs to 538 00:14:52,220 --> 00:14:55,693 have a little more teeth in it 539 00:14:55,693 --> 00:14:56,427 because I think now we've got a 540 00:14:56,427 --> 00:14:58,827 pretty educated general public 541 00:14:59,430 --> 00:15:00,131 out there and I can tell you 542 00:15:00,131 --> 00:15:00,798 and I don't know if you get 543 00:15:00,798 --> 00:15:03,100 that many calls or not but 544 00:15:03,100 --> 00:15:03,734 anybody that's at a shopping 545 00:15:03,734 --> 00:15:04,602 center or a public place where 546 00:15:04,602 --> 00:15:07,171 they see a dog or hear a dog 547 00:15:07,171 --> 00:15:07,838 barking in a vehicle and 548 00:15:07,838 --> 00:15:08,439 they're unattended, they're 549 00:15:08,439 --> 00:15:10,474 calling to report it. 550 00:15:10,474 --> 00:15:11,750 Yeah, absolutely. 551 00:15:11,750 --> 00:15:11,843 >> and that's correct. 552 00:15:11,843 --> 00:15:12,143 And we we get plenty of those 553 00:15:12,143 --> 00:15:14,143 calls. 554 00:15:14,445 --> 00:15:15,450 I think I've had three within 555 00:15:15,450 --> 00:15:15,379 the last month alone. 556 00:15:15,379 --> 00:15:16,247 >> yeah. 557 00:15:16,247 --> 00:15:18,215 And like I said, until we get 558 00:15:18,215 --> 00:15:18,983 to the point that I can 559 00:15:18,983 --> 00:15:19,783 articulate based on my training 560 00:15:19,783 --> 00:15:21,952 and experience that this dog is 561 00:15:21,952 --> 00:15:22,787 in distress, there's nothing I 562 00:15:22,787 --> 00:15:25,423 can do other than give them 563 00:15:25,423 --> 00:15:26,390 education. 564 00:15:26,390 --> 00:15:27,580 So now this gives us a step in 565 00:15:27,580 --> 00:15:29,160 between so there are some 566 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:29,760 accountability and some 567 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:30,527 ramifications of that. 568 00:15:30,527 --> 00:15:31,328 They'll think about this before 569 00:15:31,328 --> 00:15:33,330 the next time they do it again 570 00:15:33,330 --> 00:15:33,865 and it does result in a dog 571 00:15:33,865 --> 00:15:35,865 being in distress. 572 00:15:36,701 --> 00:15:37,435 >> well, I would never want to 573 00:15:37,435 --> 00:15:38,169 do anything that would dilute 574 00:15:38,169 --> 00:15:40,338 this with your intentions, you 575 00:15:40,338 --> 00:15:40,705 know, because they're 576 00:15:40,705 --> 00:15:41,272 excellent. 577 00:15:41,272 --> 00:15:42,600 That's what we want. 578 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,206 I want to make sure you got 579 00:15:46,644 --> 00:15:47,145 something to fall back on the 580 00:15:47,145 --> 00:15:47,845 ground sufficient. 581 00:15:47,845 --> 00:15:48,646 Not crack the window or you 582 00:15:48,646 --> 00:15:49,247 know, one window was down 583 00:15:49,247 --> 00:15:51,247 completely or whatever. 584 00:15:52,183 --> 00:15:53,180 >> I think it's it needs to it 585 00:15:53,180 --> 00:15:55,453 needs to say a little more 586 00:15:55,453 --> 00:15:56,254 understood. 587 00:15:56,254 --> 00:15:56,922 I think that would help you out 588 00:15:56,922 --> 00:15:59,257 immensely because I think I 589 00:15:59,257 --> 00:16:02,257 know what's going to happen. 590 00:16:03,228 --> 00:16:03,895 It's potential that it says I 591 00:16:03,895 --> 00:16:04,663 don't would be placed or 592 00:16:04,663 --> 00:16:07,365 confined in an unintended motor 593 00:16:07,365 --> 00:16:08,100 vehicle without ventilation and 594 00:16:08,100 --> 00:16:10,802 just take sufficient out of it 595 00:16:10,802 --> 00:16:11,603 and that would mean the windows 596 00:16:11,603 --> 00:16:14,439 have to be cracked at some 597 00:16:14,439 --> 00:16:15,206 point. 598 00:16:15,206 --> 00:16:18,206 The question becomes by saying 599 00:16:18,977 --> 00:16:19,511 without ventilation is this 600 00:16:19,511 --> 00:16:20,212 enough ventilation? 601 00:16:20,212 --> 00:16:22,781 i still would say that's not 602 00:16:22,781 --> 00:16:23,515 ventilation and maybe if we 603 00:16:23,515 --> 00:16:26,515 define ventilation as air being 604 00:16:26,718 --> 00:16:27,319 able to move freely throughout 605 00:16:27,319 --> 00:16:30,319 the vehicle that a set 606 00:16:30,922 --> 00:16:31,690 of defined sufficient defined 607 00:16:31,690 --> 00:16:34,660 ventilation as you know freely 608 00:16:34,660 --> 00:16:35,360 moving air that can transmit 609 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,360 back and forth throughout the 610 00:16:38,530 --> 00:16:39,198 vehicle allowing for fresh air 611 00:16:39,198 --> 00:16:39,898 to enter the vehicle at any 612 00:16:39,898 --> 00:16:42,898 given point in time because 613 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:43,602 this is not going to allow for 614 00:16:43,602 --> 00:16:44,369 air but like a window 615 00:16:44,369 --> 00:16:46,571 completely down or halfway down 616 00:16:46,571 --> 00:16:47,272 on both sides is going to allow 617 00:16:47,272 --> 00:16:47,706 free air movement throughout 618 00:16:47,706 --> 00:16:49,374 the vehicle. 619 00:16:49,374 --> 00:16:50,109 >> but we'll look at this 620 00:16:50,109 --> 00:16:50,775 section to try to strengthen 621 00:16:50,775 --> 00:16:53,775 that definition so we can 622 00:16:54,780 --> 00:16:55,514 articulate to the public 623 00:16:55,514 --> 00:16:56,315 exactly what we're trying to 624 00:16:56,315 --> 00:16:56,681 get to and I don't know if it's 625 00:16:56,681 --> 00:16:57,716 possible. 626 00:16:57,716 --> 00:16:58,450 >> one other thing to consider 627 00:16:58,450 --> 00:17:01,387 in this is this happens when 628 00:17:01,387 --> 00:17:02,210 people are having you're in 629 00:17:02,210 --> 00:17:04,421 animals transported on a 630 00:17:05,257 --> 00:17:05,991 commercial aircraft. 631 00:17:05,991 --> 00:17:08,391 There are certain levels 632 00:17:09,462 --> 00:17:10,129 of ambient temperature on which 633 00:17:10,129 --> 00:17:12,998 and you cannot send your 634 00:17:12,998 --> 00:17:13,632 animals on the airplane even 635 00:17:13,632 --> 00:17:14,233 though climate controlled 636 00:17:14,233 --> 00:17:16,633 conditions occur in the 637 00:17:16,869 --> 00:17:17,536 aircraft and cargo compartment 638 00:17:17,536 --> 00:17:20,806 when they are taken out and 639 00:17:20,806 --> 00:17:21,541 left on a runway or taken a 640 00:17:21,541 --> 00:17:22,241 place for baggage and handling 641 00:17:22,241 --> 00:17:24,843 where the temperature MAY not 642 00:17:24,843 --> 00:17:25,477 be controlled, there's been 643 00:17:25,477 --> 00:17:28,477 some loss of life there. 644 00:17:29,810 --> 00:17:32,317 So I don't know where and where 645 00:17:32,317 --> 00:17:33,180 temperature could be put in 646 00:17:33,180 --> 00:17:33,586 here if there could be some 647 00:17:33,586 --> 00:17:35,586 restrictions on that. 648 00:17:36,255 --> 00:17:37,890 But let me just face it when we 649 00:17:37,890 --> 00:17:39,492 do have temperatures in the 40s 650 00:17:39,492 --> 00:17:40,259 and 50s outside, it's much 651 00:17:40,259 --> 00:17:43,128 different than than what we're 652 00:17:43,128 --> 00:17:44,297 having right now. 653 00:17:44,297 --> 00:17:47,166 And again, I just like I know 654 00:17:47,166 --> 00:17:47,933 that I know what comes up. 655 00:17:47,933 --> 00:17:50,903 I know these things happen and 656 00:17:50,903 --> 00:17:51,570 I'm just trying to give just 657 00:17:51,570 --> 00:17:55,740 some input so you can tweak 658 00:17:55,740 --> 00:17:55,408 this a little bit so we can be 659 00:17:55,408 --> 00:17:55,841 covered. 660 00:17:55,841 --> 00:17:57,841 >> yeah, yeah. 661 00:17:58,177 --> 00:17:58,944 I think the biggest problem we 662 00:17:58,944 --> 00:18:01,944 have with ordinances in general 663 00:18:02,715 --> 00:18:03,382 and I'm running into this is 664 00:18:03,382 --> 00:18:04,116 many of us specifically law 665 00:18:04,116 --> 00:18:06,118 enforcement and I think officer 666 00:18:06,118 --> 00:18:09,118 wilkin probably attest to this 667 00:18:09,889 --> 00:18:10,623 is putting parameters like a 668 00:18:10,623 --> 00:18:13,393 temperature in there isn't bad 669 00:18:13,393 --> 00:18:14,193 except for he is not able to 670 00:18:14,193 --> 00:18:14,995 enforce that so he's not really 671 00:18:14,995 --> 00:18:16,962 going to know the inside of the 672 00:18:16,962 --> 00:18:17,663 temperature of that vehicle 673 00:18:17,663 --> 00:18:18,431 until he gets inside that 674 00:18:18,431 --> 00:18:21,334 vehicle which he has to have a 675 00:18:21,334 --> 00:18:22,680 reason to get inside that 676 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:22,836 vehicle which is typically the 677 00:18:22,836 --> 00:18:26,506 dog is in distress and you can 678 00:18:26,506 --> 00:18:27,273 tell so you know, we run into 679 00:18:27,273 --> 00:18:30,476 this a lot where it's like oh, 680 00:18:30,476 --> 00:18:31,277 we'd love to, you know, prevent 681 00:18:31,277 --> 00:18:33,112 bicycle ebikes on roads who are 682 00:18:33,112 --> 00:18:33,413 going 20mph. 683 00:18:33,413 --> 00:18:34,114 Okay. 684 00:18:34,114 --> 00:18:34,747 Well that's really hard to 685 00:18:34,747 --> 00:18:37,147 enforce because our radar 686 00:18:37,717 --> 00:18:38,285 doesn't pick it up correctly 687 00:18:38,285 --> 00:18:39,180 and stuff like that. 688 00:18:39,180 --> 00:18:40,954 So we try to look at writing 689 00:18:40,954 --> 00:18:41,687 this the best way so that 690 00:18:41,687 --> 00:18:44,870 enforcement can happen through 691 00:18:44,857 --> 00:18:48,628 his eyes and be arguable to the 692 00:18:48,628 --> 00:18:48,962 magistrates or the judges in 693 00:18:48,962 --> 00:18:49,729 charge. 694 00:18:49,729 --> 00:18:52,365 >> but I agree with you we can 695 00:18:52,365 --> 00:18:53,133 define this better so it's a 696 00:18:53,133 --> 00:18:53,833 lot better and we can put some 697 00:18:53,833 --> 00:18:56,636 other kind of parameters to 698 00:18:56,636 --> 00:18:57,370 indicate you know maybe we want 699 00:18:57,370 --> 00:18:59,572 windows to be at least three 700 00:18:59,572 --> 00:19:00,339 fourths of the way down and on 701

00:19:16,823 --> 00:19:17,900 I guess that's what this is 716 00:19:17,900 --> 00:19:17,691 for. 717 00:19:17,691 --> 00:19:19,760 That's the good stuff. 718 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:20,193 Any further questions that we 719 00:19:20,193 --> 00:19:20,627 can move on? 720 00:19:20,627 --> 00:19:22,627 >> all right. 721 00:19:23,197 --> 00:19:23,931 Read this is another one I'm 722 00:19:23,931 --> 00:19:24,665 very excited to bring you guys. 723 00:19:24,665 --> 00:19:26,933 >> this is their pre 724 00:19:26,933 --> 00:19:27,434 prohibition of the retail sale 725 00:19:27,434 --> 00:19:29,834 of dogs and cats. 726 00:19:30,504 --> 00:19:31,305 So no commercial establishment 727 00:19:31,305 --> 00:19:32,720 or flea market for the purposes 728 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,975 of resale or retail can display 729 00:19:34,975 --> 00:19:35,643 sell deliver, offer for sale, 730 00:19:35,643 --> 00:19:37,944 barter auction or otherwise 731 00:19:37,944 --> 00:19:38,245 transfer dispose of dogs and 732 00:19:38,245 --> 00:19:38,912 cats. 733 00:19:38,912 --> 00:19:41,312 This section is highlighted 734 00:19:42,883 --> 00:19:43,550 here because obviously a lot a 735 00:19:43,550 --> 00:19:44,251 lot of us know the florida 736 00:19:44,251 --> 00:19:47,200 point of rescue worked very 737 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:47,654 closely in hand with the pet 738 00:19:47,654 --> 00:19:48,388 supermarket up there on 739 00:19:48,388 --> 00:19:50,357 saturdays they go up and do 740 00:19:50,357 --> 00:19:50,791 adoption events this does not 741 00:19:50,791 --> 00:19:51,425 include that. 742 00:19:51,425 --> 00:19:54,261 So any humane society or 743 00:19:54,261 --> 00:19:54,962 nonprofit organization can go 744 00:19:54,962 --> 00:19:57,962 to a retail establishment and 745 00:19:58,265 --> 00:19:58,932 offer some form of adoption 746 00:19:58,932 --> 00:19:59,700 program things like that. 747 00:19:59,700 --> 00:20:02,436 >> the goal is to stop people 748 00:20:02,436 --> 00:20:03,170 from retail sailing dogs or 749 00:20:03,170 --> 00:20:06,170 cats so companies like petland 750 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:06,941 who are famous in orlando that 751 00:20:06,941 --> 00:20:07,642 were retailing retail selling 752 00:20:07,642 --> 00:20:10,377 dogs or cats and then same 753 00:20:10,377 --> 00:20:11,112 thing with flea markets the 754 00:20:11,112 --> 00:20:11,812 daytona flea market had a big 755 00:20:11,812 --> 00:20:12,546 issue with this before we 756 00:20:12,546 --> 00:20:14,815 passed an ordinance and boucher 757 00:20:14,815 --> 00:20:15,683 county that disbanded so we be 758 00:20:15,683 --> 00:20:18,452 no retail sale of dogs and cats 759 00:20:18,452 --> 00:20:19,186 so again if a humane society or 760 00:20:19,186 --> 00:20:22,186 nonprofit wanted to come out 761 00:20:22,189 --> 00:20:22,789 and wanted to do an event with 762 00:20:22,789 --> 00:20:23,558 tractor supply or pet 763 00:20:23,558 --> 00:20:25,926 supermarket or any of our other 764 00:20:25,926 --> 00:20:26,694 local businesses by all means 765 00:20:26,694 --> 00:20:26,994 obviously that's what we want, 766 00:20:26,994 --> 00:20:28,396 right? 767 00:20:28,396 --> 00:20:31,396 >> we want to increase adoption 768 00:20:32,833 --> 00:20:33,568 rates and not retail rates and 769 00:20:33,568 --> 00:20:34,134 those are all the major changes 770 00:20:34,134 --> 00:20:35,936 I have for you guys. 771 00:20:35,936 --> 00:20:36,637 >> and then again obviously 772 00:20:36,637 --> 00:20:37,438 there's a lot of verbiage, a 773 00:20:37,438 --> 00:20:39,707 lot of words inside of the main 774 00:20:39,707 --> 00:20:40,575 ordinances. 775 00:20:40,575 --> 00:20:41,342 >> if you guys have any further 776 00:20:41,342 --> 00:20:44,342 questions with them please let 777 00:20:44,445 --> 00:20:45,246 me know again the goal like the 778 00:20:45,246 --> 00:20:45,947 doctor said that the goal is to 779 00:20:45,947 --> 00:20:47,415 strengthen animal welfare and 780 00:20:47,415 --> 00:20:48,115 to make it as good as possible 781 00:20:48,115 --> 00:20:50,985 to make new smyrna beach the 782 00:20:50,985 --> 00:20:51,820 safest place to have a pet. 783 00:20:51,820 --> 00:20:52,587 >> and the goal is for you guys 784 00:20:52,587 --> 00:20:53,354 to be able to review them and 785 00:20:53,354 --> 00:20:54,756 give me feedback of things that 786 00:20:54,756 --> 00:20:55,323 you'd like to see changed or 787 00:20:55,323 --> 00:20:57,323 added or different. 788 00:20:58,259 --> 00:20:58,659 Any questions I can answer for 789 00:20:58,659 --> 00:20:58,993 the board? 790 00:20:58,993 --> 00:20:59,860 >> yes. 791 00:20:59,860 --> 00:21:02,597 I'd like to go back to the 792 00:21:02,597 --> 00:21:04,632 civil penalty we first spoke 793 00:21:04,632 --> 00:21:05,200 about with a third offense 794 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,200 previously requiring a 795 00:21:08,636 --> 00:21:08,970 mandatory court appearance, 796 00:21:08,970 --> 00:21:09,671 correct. 797 00:21:09,671 --> 00:21:12,671 >> well, what was the reason 798 00:21:13,341 --> 00:21:14,750 for eliminating the court 799 00:21:14,750 --> 00:21:14,842 appearance and I'm sure I know 800 00:21:14,842 --> 00:21:17,478 there's a good reason but yeah, 801 00:21:17,478 --> 00:21:18,212 the resources of the court so 802 00:21:18,212 --> 00:21:21,160 you know, having somebody go 803 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:21,849 out and appearing in front of a 804 00:21:21,849 --> 00:21:22,583 court for them to be issued the 805 00:21:22,583 --> 00:21:25,152 same fine that is the maximum 806 00:21:25,152 --> 00:21:25,587 we can issue them takes a toll 807 00:21:25,587 --> 00:21:26,388 on the court. 808 00:21:26,388 --> 00:21:28,556 You know they they have traffic 809 00:21:28,556 --> 00:21:29,290 court, they have citations 810 00:21:29,290 --> 00:21:29,957 they're going through when we 811 00:21:29,957 --> 00:21:30,658 can issue them the maximum 812 00:21:30,658 --> 00:21:32,727 amount that's the same thing 813 00:21:32,727 --> 00:21:32,994 that the court would be able to 814 00:21:32,994 --> 00:21:33,695 do. 815 00:21:33,695 --> 00:21:35,563 So rather than putting those 816 00:21:35,563 --> 00:21:36,298 stresses and strains on the 817 00:21:36,298 --> 00:21:37,980 court system, we'll go ahead 818 00:21:37,980 --> 00:21:39,300 and address that here in house. 819 00:21:39,300 --> 00:21:40,100 >> so basically when they went 820 00:21:40,100 --> 00:21:42,938 to court their option was to 821 00:21:42,938 --> 00:21:43,304 pay the fine and nothing else 822 00:21:43,304 --> 00:21:44,390 happened. 823 00:21:44,390 --> 00:21:46,975 >> so basically they can still 824 00:21:46,975 --> 00:21:47,709 go to court and appeal it but 825 00:21:47,709 --> 00:21:50,450 if they'd rather just pay the 826 00:21:50,450 --> 00:21:51,120 fine right now there's no 827 00:21:51,120 --> 00:21:51,746 reason to send it to the court, 828 00:21:51,746 --> 00:21:52,514 pay the court processing fees 829 00:21:52,514 --> 00:21:54,715 and do all that because they're 830 00:21:54,715 --> 00:21:55,251 not getting anything more than 831 00:21:55,251 --> 00:21:57,251 the mandatory fine. 832 00:21:58,286 --> 00:21:59,540 >> and my reason for 833 00:21:59,540 --> 00:21:59,721 questioning that and especially 834 00:21:59,721 --> 00:22:02,424 with the new animal cruelty 835 00:22:02,424 --> 00:22:05,293 laws statewide that have been 836 00:22:05,293 --> 00:22:06,461 in place I didn't know if this 837 00:22:06,461 --> 00:22:09,965 I mean a third offense to me is 838 00:22:09,965 --> 00:22:10,633 pretty serious and I didn't 839 00:22:10,633 --> 00:22:13,633 know where that would fall. 840 00:22:13,836 --> 00:22:17,436 And in the jurisdiction of the 841 00:22:17,907 --> 00:22:18,574 state for someone that has a 842 00:22:18,574 --> 00:22:21,574 third offense for the same 843 00:22:22,110 --> 00:22:22,845 thing and they're ability or 844 00:22:22,845 --> 00:22:25,845 their their say their ability 845 00:22:26,150 --> 00:22:26,748 necessary I would say the 846 00:22:26,748 --> 00:22:29,748 privilege of of owning animals 847 00:22:30,552 --> 00:22:31,253 comes into question so by the 848 00:22:31,253 --> 00:22:33,722 courts yeah and this is to 849 00:22:33,722 --> 00:22:34,457 address city ordinances this is 850 00:22:34,457 --> 00:22:37,893 to address things such as dog 851 00:22:37,893 --> 00:22:38,627 being off leash spay and neuter 852 00:22:38,627 --> 00:22:39,128 tethering ordinance violations, 853 00:22:39,128 --> 00:22:41,128 things like that. 854 00:22:41,697 --> 00:22:42,331 This wouldn't address any 855 00:22:42,331 --> 00:22:43,310 of those animal cruelty. 856 00:22:43,310 --> 00:22:46,310 So animal cruelty we handle 857 00:22:46,535 --> 00:22:47,169 entirely differently anything 858 00:22:47,169 --> 00:22:47,503 that comes with the jail 859 00:22:47,503 --> 00:22:48,204 offense. 860 00:22:48,204 --> 00:22:49,439 So any time we petition the 861 00:22:49,439 --> 00:22:50,206 court for custody michelle and 862 00:22:50,206 --> 00:22:50,873 I always request that the court 863 00:22:50,873 --> 00:22:53,776 enjoin the owner from ever 864 00:22:53,776 --> 00:22:54,109 having contact or owning 865 00:22:54,109 --> 00:22:54,910 animals. 866 00:22:54,910 --> 00:22:57,480 >> this is more to address your 867 00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:57,880 local city ordinance 868 00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:58,214 violations. 869 00:22:58,214 --> 00:22:59,150 >> okay. 870 00:22:59,150 --> 00:23:01,170 And this wouldn't apply to your 871 00:23:01,170 --> 00:23:01,250 dangerous dog ordinance either 872 00:23:01,250 --> 00:23:01,984 . 873 00:23:01,984 --> 00:23:04,984 So that would be completely 874 00:23:05,454 --> 00:23:06,122 separate that would have a 875 00:23:06,122 --> 00:23:08,524 different I think it even 876 00:23:08,524 --> 00:23:09,291 outlines the different civil 877 00:23:09,291 --> 00:23:09,659 penalty and we can write that 878 00:23:09,659 --> 00:23:11,659 in there. 879 00:23:12,695 --> 00:23:13,429 But like he said, this is for 880 00:23:13,429 --> 00:23:14,163 your I don't wanna call them 881 00:23:14,163 --> 00:23:16,733 minor offenses but your more 882 00:23:16,733 --> 00:23:17,500 minor offenses in a city 883 00:23:17,500 --> 00:23:20,500 ordinance element then you're a 884 00:23:20,536 --> 00:23:21,270 serious florida statute things 885 00:23:21,270 --> 00:23:24,240 that will call into question 886 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:25,208 the care of the dog and I think 887 00:23:25,208 --> 00:23:28,277 if we get to the point let's 888 00:23:28,277 --> 00:23:29,145 say for example we do have an 889 00:23:29,145 --> 00:23:32,820 animal that is left in a 890 00:23:32,820 --> 00:23:35,820 vehicle and it doesn't have 891 00:23:35,852 --> 00:23:36,486 sufficient ventilation but the 892 00:23:36,486 --> 00:23:39,155 is not at distress that 893 00:23:39,155 --> 00:23:40,230 dillon's going to articulate 894 00:23:40,230 --> 00:23:40,757 that and I think on a second 895 00:23:40,757 --> 00:23:42,759 offense is probably going to 896 00:23:42,759 --> 00:23:43,426 move to have the court remove 897 00:23:43,426 --> 00:23:44,160 the animal from the care 898 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,130 custody and we'll go through a 899 00:23:47,130 --> 00:23:47,830 civil process for removing the 900 00:23:47,830 --> 00:23:50,433 animal based on a neglect but 901 00:23:50,433 --> 00:23:51,660 we'll be able to articulate 902 00:23:51,660 --> 00:23:51,735 that hey, we've had this 903 00:23:51,735 --> 00:23:54,137 previous case now we have 904 00:23:54,137 --> 00:23:55,400 another case. 905 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:55,738 It seems like this person is 906 00:23:55,738 --> 00:23:57,907 not taking adequate care and 907 00:23:57,907 --> 00:23:58,675 then the court through the 908 00:23:58,675 --> 00:23:59,408 civil process will be able to 909 00:23:59,408 --> 00:24:00,944 determine whether they believe 910 00:24:00,944 --> 00:24:04,544 that they cannot handle the pet 911 00:24:04,614 --> 00:24:07,614 at that point in time. 912 00:24:08,184 --> 00:24:08,918 And there were some other parts 913 00:24:08,918 --> 00:24:11,918 of the ordinance that proposed 914 00:24:12,456 --> 00:24:13,560 the same of dealing with the 915 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,456 meetings of this board. 916 00:24:16,590 --> 00:24:16,893 Yes. 917 00:24:16,893 --> 00:24:20,493 And said the board shall meet 918 00:24:21,398 --> 00:24:21,764 when necessary versus at least 919 00:24:21,764 --> 00:24:23,764 quarterly. 920 00:24:24,534 --> 00:24:26,534 Yes. 921 00:24:28,905 --> 00:24:29,272 Who decides when it's 922 00:24:29,272 --> 00:24:30,700 necessary? 923 00:24:30,700 --> 00:24:32,543 >> the city staff would decide 924 00:24:32,543 --> 00:24:32,943 so obviously any dangerous dog 925 00:24:32,943 --> 00:24:34,943 would come. 926 00:24:35,746 --> 00:24:36,380 We would meet at that point in 927 00:24:36,380 --> 00:24:36,846 time and then that makes 928 00:24:36,846 --> 00:24:37,180 perfect sense. 929 00:24:37,180 --> 00:24:39,180 >> yeah. 930 00:24:39,683 --> 00:24:40,830 Any ordinance change like we're 931 00:24:40,830 --> 00:24:40,851 doing now? 932 00:24:40,851 --> 00:24:43,720 My fear is sometimes with some 933 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:44,488 of our other boards is that 934 00:24:44,488 --> 00:24:47,858 we're meeting just to meet and 935 00:24:47,858 --> 00:24:48,525 we have nothing to talk about 936 00:24:48,525 --> 00:24:49,359 and I would hate to bring 937 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,795 everybody in here and say okay 938 00:24:51,795 --> 00:24:52,562 great we're here. 939 00:24:52,562 -->

hear and 960 00:25:29,267 --> 00:25:32,202 determine appeals by any person 961 00:25:32,202 --> 00:25:35,202 aggrieved by their dog being 962 00:25:35,839 --> 00:25:38,239 deemed dangerous that that's 963 00:25:39,643 --> 00:25:40,110 not an appeal of the decision 964 00:25:40,110 --> 00:25:40,844 of this board. 965 00:25:40,844 --> 00:25:43,244 >> certainly that's that's an 966 00:25:44,115 -->

00:25:56,727 his determining or appeal it to 974 00:25:56,727 --> 00:25:57,395 this board. 975 00:25:57,395 --> 00:25:59,430 Then you all make your 976 00:25:59,430 --> 00:25:59,998 determination if they would 977 00:25:59,998 --> 00:26:00,731 like to appeal your 978 00:26:00,731 --> 00:26:03,731 determination it goes to the 979 00:26:06,300 --> 00:26:08,300 circuit court. 980 00:26:10,274 --> 00:26:10,975 So all these other things that 981 00:26:10,975 --> 00:26:13,975 have been stricken in this 982 00:26:17,114 --> 00:26:17,849 proposed ordinance then you 983 00:26:17,849 --> 00:26:20,849 guys have just gone through 984 00:26:21,753 --> 00:26:22,286 this is what he what he talked 985 00:26:22,286 --> 00:26:23,540 about here today. 986 00:26:23,540 --> 00:26:24,989 There's a lot of other stuff in 987 00:26:24,989 --> 00:26:25,389 here that's being changed for 988 00:26:25,389 --> 00:26:26,570 correct. 989 00:26:26,570 --> 00:26:26,524 >> a lot of it is 990 00:26:26,524 --> 00:26:28,524 reorganization. 991 00:26:29,327 --> 00:26:29,827 I felt that this chapter was 992 00:26:29,827 --> 00:26:31,827 very disorganized. 993 00:26:33,264 --> 00:26:33,965 We had a lot of reserved area 994 00:26:33,965 --> 00:26:34,632 and the numbers didn't flow 995 00:26:34,632 --> 00:26:37,320 appropriately and I thought 996 00:26:37,802 --> 00:26:38,770 things were put in weird spots. 997 00:26:38,770 --> 00:26:41,306 >> so a lot of it remains but 998 00:26:41,306 --> 00:26:42,400 is being reorganized in 999 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,400 different areas and then some 1000 00:26:45,110 --> 00:26:45,844 of it has just been cleaned up 1001 00:26:45,844 --> 00:26:48,844 in general with some additives 1002 00:26:49,130 --> 00:26:49,381 of what officer wolfe has 1003 00:26:49,381 --> 00:26:50,181 indicated. 1004 00:26:50,181 --> 00:26:53,151 >> I will say that there is 1005 00:26:53,151 --> 00:26:56,151 another section that I am 1006 00:26:56,288 --> 00:26:58,688 considering adding which deals 1007 00:26:59,958 --> 00:27:00,725 with our roosters on flagler 1008 00:27:00,725 --> 00:27:03,662 avenue and just my next point. 1009 00:27:03,662 --> 00:27:04,329 >> okay. 1010 00:27:04,329 --> 00:27:07,329 Which would allow us to 1011 00:27:07,665 --> 00:27:08,267 something I've kicked around is 1012 00:27:08,267 --> 00:27:08,934 to allow us to address 1013 00:27:08,934 --> 00:27:10,934 aggressive roosters, define 1014 00:27:11,970 --> 00:27:12,637 what aggressive means, define 1015 00:27:12,637 --> 00:27:15,273 that we have two verified 1016 00:27:15,273 --> 00:27:17,673 reports of roosters attacking 1017 00:27:19,378 --> 00:27:22,347 people or damaging property and 1018 00:27:22,347 --> 00:27:23,182 based on that the city of new 1019 00:27:23,182 --> 00:27:26,151 smyrna beach can execute how we 1020 00:27:26,151 --> 00:27:26,685 deem fit to remove said 1021 00:27:26,685 --> 00:27:27,453 aggressive roosters. 1022 00:27:27,453 --> 00:27:28,120 >> right now we don't have that 1023 00:27:28,120 --> 00:27:30,723 in the ordinance so that's 1024 00:27:30,723 --> 00:27:31,230 something I forgot to put in 1025 00:27:31,230 --> 00:27:31,523 there. 1026 00:27:31,523 --> 00:27:32,224 It came back up. 1027 00:27:32,224 --> 00:27:34,726 I think I'm going to add it 1028 00:27:34,726 --> 00:27:35,361 I'll probably look at key west 1029 00:27:35,361 --> 00:27:36,620 to see exactly how they're 1030 00:27:36,620 --> 00:27:38,264 bridges because I think they 1031 00:27:38,264 --> 00:27:38,864 have something similar but we 1032 00:27:38,864 --> 00:27:41,667 do want to address our 1033 00:27:41,667 --> 00:27:44,670 aggressive rooster issue the 1034 00:27:46,471 --> 00:27:48,907 urban chicken program know we 1035 00:27:48,907 --> 00:27:49,742 have an urban chicken program 1036 00:27:49,742 --> 00:27:50,142 his his do we have that in 1037 00:27:50,142 --> 00:27:50,642 place now? 1038 00:27:50,642 --> 00:27:52,642 Anything like it? 1039 00:27:53,879 --> 00:27:54,647 I would we have it in place I 1040 00:27:54,647 --> 00:27:56,448 just don't know that we have a 1041 00:27:56,448 --> 00:27:57,183 lot of people who do it. 1042 00:27:57,183 --> 00:27:57,483 >> that same ordinance is in 1043 00:27:57,483 --> 00:27:58,184 place. 1044 00:27:58,184 --> 00:28:00,486 I don't believe we made any 1045 00:28:00,486 --> 00:28:01,530 changes to that ordinance other 1046 00:28:01,530 --> 00:28:01,687 than the number two. 1047 00:28:01,687 --> 00:28:04,223 Again, that was just to 1048 00:28:04,223 --> 00:28:05,910 rearrange order and flow. 1049 00:28:05,910 --> 00:28:07,759 >> yes, I rearranged it into it 1050 00:28:07,759 --> 00:28:08,527 like the exotic animal models 1051 00:28:08,527 --> 00:28:09,228 and eggs and urban chickens but 1052 00:28:09,228 --> 00:28:11,628 the requirements and permit 1053 00:28:11,697 --> 00:28:11,997 remain the same. 1054 00:28:11,997 --> 00:28:13,997 Yeah. 1055 00:28:15,501 --> 00:28:16,201 Do you can you get me a copy 1056 00:28:16,201 --> 00:28:16,635 of the ordinance that you're 1057 00:28:16,635 --> 00:28:18,635 referring to? 1058 00:28:19,339 --> 00:28:20,273 >> sure, sure. 1059 00:28:20,273 --> 00:28:23,476 Because I don't I didn't I've 1060 00:28:23,476 --> 00:28:24,210 got what I thought was the 1061 00:28:24,210 --> 00:28:24,844 current

1081 00:29:04,784 --> 00:29:07,521 I'd say we receive a couple 1082 00:29:07,521 --> 00:29:08,121 of year mostly regarding people 1083 00:29:08,121 --> 00:29:10,121 having roosters because 1084

00:29:14,861 --> 00:29:15,628 neighborhood which the current 1088 00:29:15,628 --> 00:29:18,465 ordinance does not allow you to 1089 00:29:18,465 --> 00:29:19,266 have a pet rooster. 1090 00:29:19,266

we address on a case by 1094 00:29:23,336 --> 00:29:24,271 case basis and I would not say 1095 00:29:24,271 --> 00:29:26,773 it's a problem we get a lot 1096 00:29:26,773 --> 00:29:27,674 of yeah, I

00:29:41,955 --> 00:29:42,722 Yeah but you're allowed to have 1107 00:29:42,722 --> 00:29:43,490 up to five hens as long as 1108 00:29:43,490 --> 00:29:45,192 you've obtained the permit from 1109

enforcement who it 1116 00:29:57,304 --> 00:29:58,500 would go through? 1117 00:29:58,500 --> 00:29:58,504 So sometimes they go through 1118 00:29:58,504 --> 00:29:59,239 code enforcement. 1119 00:29:59,239 --> 00:30:01,874 Sometimes they call into the 1120 00:30:01,874 --> 00:30:02,475 non-emergency dispatch center 1121 00:30:02,475 --> 00:30:03,243 or sometimes it MAY be 1122 00:30:03,243 --> 00:30:05,245 something they call and to the 1123 00:30:05,245 --> 00:30:05,979 city directly but it's yeah, 1124 00:30:05,979 --> 00:30:08,749 it's made so it's a complaint 1125 00:30:08,749 --> 00:30:09,183 that I'm responding to if that 1126 00:30:09,183 --> 00:30:09,850 makes sense. 1127 00:30:09,850 --> 00:30:12,886 >> well, the one thing I did 1128 00:30:12,886 --> 00:30:13,586 want to talk about was the 1129 00:30:13,586 --> 00:30:16,289 roosters and the chickens in 1130 00:30:16,289 --> 00:30:19,289 general on flagler is nobody 1131 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:20,928 really asked the question where 1132 00:30:20,928 --> 00:30:21,862 did they come from? 1133 00:30:21,862 --> 00:30:24,231 >> oh yeah and I think yeah 1134 00:30:24,231 --> 00:30:24,965 when we we've asked the 1135 00:30:24,965 --> 00:30:25,666 question you know the question 1136 00:30:25,666 --> 00:30:27,467 is where did they come from 1137 00:30:27,467 --> 00:30:28,234 because they have came from 1138 00:30:28,234 --> 00:30:31,234 somewhere much like ybor city 1139 00:30:31,605 --> 00:30:32,206 and tampa and key west you know 1140 00:30:32,206 --> 00:30:32,907 they did originate from 1141 00:30:32,907 --> 00:30:35,442 somewhere and it's a it's a 1142 00:30:35,442 --> 00:30:36,177 polarized divide amongst the 1143 00:30:36,177 --> 00:30:39,146 city of what the perspective is 1144 00:30:39,146 --> 00:30:39,880 with the roosters amongst our 1145 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,880 residents because when you go 1146 00:30:43,150 --> 00:30:43,918 out to tractor supply and you 1147 00:30:43,918 --> 00:30:46,918 get those cute little chickens 1148 00:30:47,540 --> 00:30:47,788 to bring home, you're often 1149 00:30:47,788 --> 00:30:48,880 surprised that you don't have 1150 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,880 hens. 1151 00:30:50,692 --> 00:30:50,991 yeah, you've got a rooster in 1152 00:30:50,991 --> 00:30:51,858 there. 1153 00:30:51,858 --> 00:30:55,196 So flagler has gotten to be a 1154 00:30:55,196 --> 00:30:57,596 dumping ground for unwanted 1155 00:30:58,699 --> 00:31:01,269 roosters and yeah I, I think we 1156 00:31:01,269 --> 00:31:02,200 had put out a post maybe two 1157 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,972 years ago at some point that 1158 00:31:04,972 --> 00:31:05,339 banning an animal is considered 1159 00:31:05,339 --> 00:31:06,740 a crime. 1160 00:31:06,740 --> 00:31:09,740 The biggest thing is catching 1161 00:31:10,780 --> 00:31:11,912 them and so we've been unable 1162 00:31:11,912 --> 00:31:12,847 to really catch anyone to be in 1163 00:31:12,847 --> 00:31:13,447 in an animal but yes they are 1164 00:31:13,447 --> 00:31:15,447 definitely coming from 1165 00:31:16,216 --> 00:31:17,180 somewhere. 1166 00:31:17,180 --> 00:31:17,418 >> yeah that's where they're 1167 00:31:17,418 --> 00:31:17,719 coming from. 1168 00:31:17,719 --> 00:31:18,386 Yeah. 1169 00:31:18,386 --> 00:31:20,387 Currently there is a city 1170 00:31:20,387 --> 00:31:21,880 ordinance that you can't 1171 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:21,822 abandon an animal anywhere 1172 00:31:21,822 --> 00:31:24,258 within the limits of the city 1173 00:31:24,258 --> 00:31:24,993 which would carry a $50 fine. 1174 00:31:24,993 --> 00:31:28,630 Again, one of the reasons that 1175 00:31:28,630 --> 00:31:28,896 we're trying to up that there's 1176 00:31:28,896 --> 00:31:29,464 a state law that also addresses 1177 00:31:29,464 --> 00:31:30,131 that which makes it a 1178 00:31:30,131 --> 00:31:32,660 misdemeanor to abandon an 1179 00:31:32,660 --> 00:31:32,400 animal in any public place or 1180 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:33,134 street. 1181 00:31:33,134 --> 00:31:35,570 But again the resource becomes 1182 00:31:35,570 --> 00:31:36,337 of how do we prove it? 1183 00:31:36,337 --> 00:31:37,138 I know the police department 1184 00:31:37,138 --> 00:31:39,374 has made efforts into trying to 1185 00:31:39,374 --> 00:31:40,174 figure out where the roosters 1186 00:31:40,174 --> 00:31:42,777 have came from but as just came 1187 00:31:42,777 --> 00:31:43,578 to no avail crime and I thought 1188 00:31:43,578 --> 00:31:46,648 I remember hearing when I moved 1189 00:31:46,648 --> 00:31:47,382 here that somebody thought it 1190 00:31:47,382 --> 00:31:50,982 would be cool because to be 1191 00:31:51,860 --> 00:31:51,820 like he was and had dumped some 1192 00:31:51,820 --> 00:31:52,587 off but like going again they 1193 00:31:52,587 --> 00:31:54,121 had to start it from somewhere 1194 00:31:54,121 --> 00:31:54,889 so that that could have been 1195 00:31:54,889 --> 00:31:55,290 the philosophy they just keep 1196 00:31:55,290 --> 00:31:57,290 multiplying. 1197 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,960 >> yeah chickens do the sachs 1198 00:32:05,467 --> 00:32:06,167 month age on animals beings 1199 00:32:06,167 --> 00:32:09,167 spayed or neutered and we've 1200 00:32:09,804 --> 00:32:10,505 talked about this I think at 1201 00:32:10,505 --> 00:32:13,408 least once before there has 1202 00:32:13,408 --> 00:32:14,420 been a lot of research and a 1203 00:32:14,420 --> 00:32:16,442 lot of veterinarians are 1204 00:32:17,780 --> 00:32:20,780 changing their policy on the 1205 00:32:20,748 --> 00:32:21,583 age because especially in large 1206 00:32:21,583 --> 00:32:25,183 breed male dogs there were some 1207 00:32:28,289 --> 00:32:28,991 much higher incidence 1208 00:32:28,991 --> 00:32:31,391 of osteosarcoma bone cancer 1209 00:32:32,594 --> 00:32:33,329 right long bone cancer in 1210 00:32:33,329 --> 00:32:35,729 labradors, golden retrievers a 1211 00:32:36,398 --> 00:32:37,990 lot of the popular large breed 1212 00:32:37,990 --> 00:32:37,800 dogs and retrospective studies 1213 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,360 just found out that there was 1214 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:41,603 definitely a connection between 1215 00:32:41,603 --> 00:32:44,603 that and now and their 1216 00:32:44,606 --> 00:32:45,740 recommendation is between 12 1217 00:32:45,740 --> 00:32:47,740 and 24 months. 1218 00:32:49,244 --> 00:32:50,120 Now I don't know that needs to 1219 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,247 be put in the ordinance this is 1220 00:32:52,247 --> 00:32:53,150 MAY be for your yeah so 1221 00:32:53,150 --> 00:32:53,816 something that we did after we 1222 00:32:53,816 --> 00:32:56,619 had spoken about that last time 1223 00:32:56,619 --> 00:32:57,286 so I obviously you know took 1224 00:32:57,286 --> 00:32:57,986 your words and move forward 1225 00:32:57,986 --> 00:32:59,821 with that there is a medical 1226 00:32:59,821 --> 00:33:00,389 exemption in there so if any 1227 00:33:00,389 --> 00:33:01,123 veterinarian makes any 1228 00:33:01,123 --> 00:33:03,259 statement saying that for any 1229 00:33:03,259 --> 00:33:03,926 medical purpose this dog cannot 1230 00:33:03,926 --> 00:33:06,962 or shall not be spayed or 1231 00:33:06,962 --> 00:33:07,696 neutered until this age that 1232 00:33:07,696 --> 00:33:08,331 medical exemption would apply. 1233 00:33:08,331 --> 00:33:08,997 So if you yourself as a 1234 00:33:08,997 --> 00:33:11,200 veterinarian said, you know, 1235 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:11,901 this is a male great dane, I 1236 00:33:11,901 --> 00:33:14,103 don't believe he should be 1237 00:33:14,103 --> 00:33:14,870 neutered until two years and 1238 00:33:14,870 --> 00:33:15,538 you wrote us a letter you'd be 1239 00:33:15,538 --> 00:33:16,305 exempt and we would not be 1240 00:33:16,305 --> 00:33:19,305 enforcing any spay neuter upon 1241 00:33:22,511 --> 00:33:23,579 that person 1242

00:34:02,719 --> 00:34:03,419 tedious where you delete and 1267 00:34:03,419 --> 00:34:04,120 underline and cross and when 1268 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:04,820 you're doing that it doesn't 1269 00:34:04,820 --> 00:34:07,189 always catch everything which 1270 00:34:07,189 --> 00:34:07,890 leads to the typos and the 1271 00:34:07,890 --> 00:34:08,191 spacing issue and stuff like 1272 00:34:08,191 --> 00:34:10,191 that. 1273 00:34:10,927 --> 00:34:11,695 >> but from here we'll go back 1274 00:34:11,695 --> 00:34:14,764 over it, try to get it cleaned 1275 00:34:14,764 --> 00:34:15,232 up with some of the notes that 1276 00:34:15,232 --> 00:34:15,865 you've given us. 1277 00:34:15,865 --> 00:34:16,633 We'll talk to the chief 1278 00:34:16,633 --> 00:34:19,340 of police who will talk to the 1279 00:34:19,340 --> 00:34:19,802 city manager and then they will 1280 00:34:19,802 --> 00:34:22,571 decide when to bring it forward 1281 00:34:22,571 --> 00:34:23,306 to commission and maybe if they 1282 00:34:23,306 --> 00:34:25,642 would like to have a public 1283 00:34:25,642 --> 00:34:26,242 workshop with other citizens 1284 00:34:26,242 --> 00:34:26,910 maybe coming in, being 1285 00:34:26,910 --> 00:34:29,310 involved, that's always a 1286 00:34:29,745 --> 00:34:30,747 possibility. 1287 00:34:30,747 --> 00:34:33,182 I suspect this will take a 6 to 1288 00:34:33,182 --> 00:34:33,816 8 months time frame to get 1289 00:34:33,816 --> 00:34:35,816 fully through commission. 1290 00:34:36,452 --> 00:34:37,453 >> it is two readings. 1291 00:34:37,453 --> 00:34:40,390 We've got a few things that are 1292 00:34:40,390 --> 00:34:40,790 pressing on the commission 1293 00:34:40,790 --> 00:34:41,591 right now. 1294 00:34:41,591 --> 00:34:44,761 We also have holidays coming up 1295 00:34:44,761 --> 00:34:48,300 and like I said this is a 1296 00:34:48,300 --> 00:34:48,664 rewrite of a whole chapter so 1297 00:34:48,664 --> 00:34:49,366 this is chapter 18 being 1298 00:34:49,366 --> 00:34:52,366 completely kind of gutted and 1299 00:34:52,769 --> 00:34:53,503 rewritten and reformatted. 1300 00:34:53,503 --> 00:34:53,837 So that takes a little bit 1301 00:34:53,837 --> 00:34:55,837 longer. 1302 00:34:56,807 --> 00:34:57,774 That's why I always love to 1303 00:34:57,774 --> 00:34:59,810 give 6 to 8 months and if I get 1304 00:34:59,810 --> 00:35:00,777 it done in four I have 1305 00:35:00,777 --> 00:35:03,146 delivered so well I think I can 1306 00:35:03,146 --> 00:35:04,140 I certainly feel better. 1307 00:35:04,140 --> 00:35:07,510 >> excuse me MAY please ask you 1308 00:35:07,510 --> 00:35:07,918 to speak into your microphone. 1309 00:35:07,918 --> 00:35:10,788 You're not coming a three okay. 1310 00:35:10,788 --> 00:35:14,658 I think if I could have that 1311 00:35:14,658 --> 00:35:15,525 copy of that old ordinance I 1312 00:35:15,525 --> 00:35:17,660 think I could do a much more 1313 00:35:17,660 --> 00:35:18,429 complete job. 1314 00:35:18,429 --> 00:35:21,265 You know, from a veterinarian 1315 00:35:21,265 --> 00:35:22,660 standpoint of evaluating these 1316 00:35:22,660 --> 00:35:25,660 these additions and or changes 1317 00:35:26,269 --> 00:35:29,440 so I think we need it unless I 1318 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:30,207 come I'll go through it all and 1319 00:35:30,207 --> 00:35:30,474 I don't come up with anything 1320 00:35:30,474 --> 00:35:32,474 new. 1321 00:35:32,810 --> 00:35:33,544 I would think we need to at 1322 00:35:33,544 --> 00:35:34,100 least have one more meeting. 1323 00:35:34,100 --> 00:35:36,100 >> that's fine. 1324 00:35:36,313 --> 00:35:37,181 That's fine. 1325 00:35:37,181 --> 00:35:41,251 So what I'll do is I'll have 1326 00:35:41,251 --> 00:35:44,200 either MISS Evans send it to 1327 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:44,988 your MR. Taylor hardy and send 1328 00:35:44,988 --> 00:35:48,158 it to you a copy of chapter 18 1329 00:35:48,158 --> 00:35:48,892 as written and then that's the 1330 00:35:48,892 --> 00:35:51,361 current that's the current or 1331 00:35:51,361 --> 00:35:52,950 okay downloaded from muni 1332 00:35:52,950 --> 00:35:55,566 code directly sent to you and 1333 00:35:55,566 --> 00:35:56,500 then we'll send you the copy 1334 00:35:56,500 --> 00:36:00,400 that we have again which is the 1335 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:00,838 change one which you will see 1336 00:36:00,838 --> 00:36:02,673 the strike thrus and the cross 1337 00:36:02,673 --> 00:36:03,441 out. 1338 00:36:03,441 --> 00:36:06,411 I would disregard all the other 1339 00:36:06,411 --> 00:36:07,144 copies you have at this point 1340 00:36:07,144 --> 00:36:09,713 and just look at those two. 1341 00:36:09,713 --> 00:36:10,381 So the one from chapter 18 is 1342 00:36:10,381 --> 00:36:12,916 currently in the books and 1343 00:36:12,916 --> 00:36:13,551 passed and codified the one and 1344 00:36:13,551 --> 00:36:16,551 that's what we work off 1345 00:36:16,720 --> 00:36:17,488 of what's been codified and 1346 00:36:17,488 --> 00:36:18,222 then we'll go from there and we 1347 00:36:18,222 --> 00:36:21,222 can plan to have another 1348 00:36:21,592 --> 00:36:25,620 meeting maybe in DECEMBER if we 1349 00:36:25,620 -->
