The motion to table action at the November 5th meeting included language that required it to be brought back to the Council on November 19th. However, discussion with Chief Alexander indicates that members of the Council have questions that, as of this date, have not been addressed because of scheduling conflicts that have prevented the parties coming together for a meeting. Therefore, the staff believes that a further postponement of this issue is appropriate. The staff recommends the Council table action on this item and authorize the City Manager to place the item on a future agenda when appropriate. ATTACHMENT: 1. Excerpts from minutes of 11/5/96 Owasso City Council ITEM 14: CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATING TO ORDINANCE #523, AN ORDINANCE AMENDING PART 4, ANIMALS, CHAPTER 1, ANIMAL REGULATIONS OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF OWASSO. For several months the Police Department has been working toward updating the current animal regulations found in Part 4 of the Owasso City Code. Many of the changes are minor in nature, but there are six major changes suggested: The City Attorney was included in the preparation of the document, and a Public Hearing on the proposed ordinance was held. Following a lengthy discussion focused primarily on the removal or animal waste and the penalty for not following the code, Mayor Ewing moved to table the item to the next regular City Council meeting to allow time for answers to be provided for the questions that were raised. Motion seconded by Mr Helm. AYE: Ewing, Helm, Standridge, Barnhouse NAY: one Motion carried 4-0. ITE-T 15: CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATING TO A REQUEST FOR THE ATTACHMENT OF AN EMERGENCY CLAUSE TO ORDINANCE Because of the motion to table item 14, this item wasn't needed and was stricken from the agenda.
