A. Dave Johnson shared information with the Commission related to an Ordinance for consideration at an
upcoming Council Meeting related to the City's Leash Law. It appears the updated Ordinance offers
authority to any law enforcement officer to issue civil infractions under this provision. Dave noted that
this will apply city -wide, not just for park property. After brief discussion, the Commission supports
enforcement of the Leash Law.
