The Committee reviewed correspondence from Parks Supervisor Peter
Theis regarding the Parks and Recreation Board request that
Chapter 26, Section 26.01, lc, be amended to state that animals,
especially dogs, not be allowed in the parks with the exception
of seeing eye dogs, etc. This action is on behalf of citizen
complaints, staff complaints and health concerns. The present
ordinance reads "all animals must be on a leash, not greater than
six feet in length, or otherwise under control of the owner at
all times". Ald. Taube requests response from Parks Supervisor
Peter Theis as to whether an ordinance to require owners of pets
to remove animal "waste" would be preferred to an ordinance
