SUBJECT:
Amendment of Part 4, Animal Regulations
DATE:
October 28, 2011
BACKGROUND:
Staff has recently reviewed the current structure and organization of Part 4 of the Code of
Ordinances, Animal Regulations. As a result of that process, staff has drafted additions and
amendments to the ordinances in Part 4 governing ownership of animals and livestock, service
animals, emergency impoundments, and the operation of pet stores. These amendments are
necessitated by the City's continuing expansion and growth, the rising population of
abandoned and stray animals, and the location of pet stores, kennels and other facilities
offering domesticated animal services within the City. The amendments have additionally given
staff an opportunity to remove outdated, unnecessary, and conflicting sections within this
section of the Code.
Maintenance of Livestock
One of the most significant changes to Part 4 amends current ordinances which prohibit
maintenance of livestock within the city. An evaluation of this prohibition was initiated following
a recent request for detachment by a landowner operating a horse stable and training facility.
The proposed change to the ordinance will allow livestock to be kept by a landowner within the
city limits if certain criteria and requirements are satisfied, such as installation of a fenced
enclosure of a minimum of 1.5 acres in size, with all structures used to house or feed the animals
set back a minimum of 50 feet from an adjoining landowner's property. One livestock animal
will be permitted for each 1.5 acres within the fenced enclosure.
Maintenance and Sale of Domesticated Animals
A new section governing the maintenance and sale of domesticated animals by pet stores is
also included in the ordinance. The Code currently does not contain rules or regulations
addressing the housing, health, or sale of animals by pet stores; as such, the City of Owasso's
Animal Control Officers have no authority to inspect pet stores or require correction of unsanitary
conditions or inhumane treatment of animals. In recent years, many large and small
municipalities have enacted ordinances establishing minimum standards for the care, feeding,
health, and sanitation of domesticated animals maintained and sold by pet stores within their
boundaries. While most pet stores care for the animals they sell in an exemplary manner, it is
important to note that pet stores in Oklahoma are not licensed by any state regulatory agency
and thus are not subject to any state standards, oversight, or inspection. Accordingly, many
municipalities have accepted this responsibility as a local issue and have adopted standards of
pet store animal care to prevent unsanitary store facilities, the sale of diseased animals within
the community, inadequate ventilation, and insufficient nutrition and hydration of the animals
maintained in pet stores.
Impoundment of Animals
The amendments to Part 4 also include a new section governing the impoundment of animals
by the Police Department or Animal Control Officers resulting from emergencies such as fire,
medical, hospitalization, or custody arrest of the owner. This section provides that, unless it is
impossible to do so, Animal Control Officers will locate and notify an owner that their pet has
been impounded by the City and the conditions under which the animal will be released. This
provision additionally establishes a minimum holding period by the City after which, if the animal
is not claimed by the owner or the owner's designee, the animal may be placed for adoption,
transferred to a rescue organization or, if appropriate, euthanized. This section will primarily be
applied in cases where the animal's owner is subject to a custody arrest while in a vehicle or
dwelling with their pet present, and the owner, despite notification, chooses not to make
arrangements for another person to retrieve the pet from the City's Animal Shelter. This provision
will allow emergency impoundment animals to be treated in the same manner as other animals
seized or received by the Animal Shelter.
Service Animals
A service animal exemption excepting trained service animals from the maximum number of
animals a resident may own and keep is also included in the proposed ordinance. Currently, it is
unlawful for a resident to maintain more than 2 dogs and 3 cats in the City of Owasso.
Exemptions presently exist allowing animal rescues and foster programs to exceed the maximum
number of pets if approved by the Chief of Police. The change would allow persons with service
animals to also apply for such an exemption if acquiring a service animal would cause them to
otherwise exceed the allowed number of animals.
Clean -up Issues
The remaining revisions within the ordinance are "clean -up" provisions intended to update Part 4
and eliminate outdated, incorrect or conflicting provisions.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends City Council approval of Ordinance No. 996 amending Part 4, Animal
Regulations, of the Owasso Code of Ordinances.

the least painful. He will cause the carcass to be removed to such place as may be set
apart for such matter and disposed of as provided by ordinance for dead animals.
SECTION 4 -147 SPAY /NEUTER REQUIREMENTS
A. It shall be an offense under this section for any owner within the city limits of
Owasso to harbor, keep or possess a dog or cat over the age of six (6) months, other
than a dog used by the Owasso Police Department as a police dog, that has not been
spayed or neutered unless the dog or cat was licensed as required under section 4-
121(a) prior to July 1, 2006 and has continually maintained such license, or unless a
veterinarian has certified, in writing, that it is necessary to postpone or preclude an
animal from being spayed or neutered due to health concerns. If a licensed
Veterinarian has so certified, any person who owns, harbors or keeps a dog or cat over
the age of six (6) months within the city shall keep such documentation readily available
and shall promptly provide it to Animal Control Officers or other city officials upon
request. A rebuttable presumption that the dog or cat has not been spayed or neutered
11
is established in the event the owner of a dog or cat over the age of six (6) months is

spay /neuter law. Such application will be approved or denied by the Chief of Police or
his or her designee. If approved, the applicant will be granted an exception upon
payment of a fee to be set by the City Manager and included within the Animal Control
Division fee schedule. Breeders must be registered with the Owasso Animal Shelter, and
the granting of an exception under this section does not exempt the animal owner from
compliance with the allowable number of animals set forth in section 4 -1 10(A).

SUBJECT: Resolution 2011 -10
Animal Control Service Fees
DATE: October 28, 2011
Owasso Police Department Animal Control Division staff recently conducted an analysis of all
fees associated with providing animal control services to the community. This analysis was
conducted to determine if the fees charged to citizens adequately recovered the associated
costs of the services provided. The cost analysis focused on the time and resources expended
by Animal Control staff. Examples of the types of expenditures taken into consideration include
fuel, hourly wages, and supplies. The analysis did not take into consideration utilities,
expenditures from other Police Department Divisions or other City Departments, or other
incidental expenses.
The fee analysis revealed that there are many services being provided in which fees are either
undercharged or not charged at all. Examples of services that no fees are charged include
livestock calls, deceased animal removal, tranquilization, euthanasia, and after -hour calls. Staff
determined there were several fees in which increases would be detrimental to the objectives of
Animal Control operations. For example, it was determined that raising adoption fees could
result in a reduction in the number of animals adopted from the shelter. In addition, staff
determined that raising the cost of surrendering an animal at the shelter could result in animals
being abandoned within the City and in rural areas.
The following table reflects the proposed Animal Control fees;
