MEMO FEBRUARY 18t", 2014
TO: MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS & CITY CLERK
From: Alderman, Alan T. Long
RE: Amendment to Chapter 92 on animals to coincide with the new
Urban Agriculture Ordinance.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After considering the impacts that the Urban Agriculture ordinance would have on the Animal Services
Division, I feel that it is necessary to change language in Chapter 92.
I believe that the changes to chapter 92 should be considered at the same time that the Urban Agriculture
Ordinance is being considered. This is why I am "walking" this ordinance on to our agenda.
I prefer for our ordinances to be consistent. Passing the Urban Agriculture ordinance without considering the
implications that it could have on Animal Services would, in my opinion, be unwise.
Therefore, I have asked our city attorney to draft changes to chapter 92 so that we can maintain consistency in
our code of ordinances by considering the Urban Agriculture ordinance in unison with the changes to chapter
92.
I have drafted this memo in accordance with our resolution that requests any alderman or staff member to
give an explanation as to why they feel that it is necessary to "walk an item" on to the agenda.
Sincerely,
Alan T. Long

Subject: Re: Urban Agriculture and chapter 92 on Animal Services
These are the changes to chapter 92 that I would like to see added:
Add Definition of Livestock: Any sheep, jenny, goat, hog or fowl.
Modify Section 92.23A to say: The Fayetteville Animal Shelter is authorized to accept from the animal
control officer or any private citizen, and to impound, any dog, or cat or livestock found running at large in
violation of this subchapter. The animal control officer shall not be required to respond to requests to pick up
unconfined cats until the person making the request has confined or restrained the animal so that it can readily
be taken into custody by the animal control officer. The animal control officer may use humane animal traps or
tranquilizers to assist in confining the cat.
Add #4 under Section 92.23B: (4) Fees for Livestock. An owner reclaiming livestock shall pay the
cost for such impoundment. Said cost are hereby ascertained to be $10.00 for the first impoundment and $50.00
for any subsequent impoundments of that animal within a twelve (12) month period.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Alan

After review the proposal and looking at the implications for compliance in animal services, I
would like to see the changes to chapter 92 happen at the same time as the Urban Agriculture
ordinance. I think that this will prevent challenges from becoming an issue if even one case of
compliance is presented.
Can we have changes to chapter drafted to match the Urban Agriculture ordinance?
Thank you for all you do.

RE: Amendments to Chapter 92 Animals
Kit Williams
City Attorney
Jason B. Kelley
Assistant City Attorney
Alderman Long desires to amend Chapter 92 Animals in conjunction
with the Urban Agriculture Ordinance now being proposed. I have drafted
an enacting ordinance pursuant to his directions.
This proposed ordinance amends § 92.23 Impoundments (A) to add
"livestock" to the animals that can be impounded. It also amends "private
citizen' to "private citizen of Fayetteville" from which animals may be
accepted by the shelter to reflect that the Washington County Animal Shelter
now handles animals from outside of Fayetteville which we used to accept.
The proposed ordinance further requires impoundment fees for
livestock in a revised section (3). The old subsection (3) has been moved to (4)
but remains "Boarding Fees." It has been amended to include "fowl" in the
cat and dog boarding fee of $10.00 per day and now includes a $25.00 fee for
"other livestock" which includes all livestock except "fowl".
Finally, I moved the possible fee for a necessary rabies vaccination out
of "Boarding Fee," and into its own subsection (5). The rabies vaccination will
be given at the Fayetteville Veterinarians discretion depending upon proof
(or lack of proof) of a prior, but not out of date, rabies vaccination.
