Councilman Mike Duman made good Wednesday on his promise to push an ordinance regulating dog tethering to a vote in City Council.
After hearing a report on the issue, the governing body voted last month to monitor the situation for 60 days. But Duman said last week he thought he had garnered enough support to move the motion to the floor again.
All of his colleagues except one support him. Vice Mayor Charles Brown preferred to continue monitoring the situation.
…Duman said the ordinance should address various aspects of dog chaining such as the length of the chain, length of time a dog can be tethered, time of day, weather conditions and more. He also said he wanted to see a requirement in the draft ordinance that owners who chain their dogs must have them spayed or neutered.
