Director Lakeman made the motion to adjourn at
95-OR I~,.
An Ordinance Amending Jeffersonville City Ordinance 78-OR-4:3, establishing that
animals shall be kept a certain amount of time.
WHEREAS, Ordinance 78-OR-43 requires that impounded dogs without identification tags
(licenses) shall be kept for not less than three (3) days. After the three day period has elapsed,
these animals shall be placed for adoption or euthanized if their owner's have not claimed them
and paid the required fees.
WHEREAS, this three day policy could result in an animal being picked up on a Friday and
euthanized or adopted out the following Monday morning. Therefore, the owner would have no
opportunity to claim an 'animal and pay fees, as the Jeffersonville Animal Shelter has no Saturday
hours.
WHEREAS, Ordinance 78-OR-43 is ambiguous as to whether animals shall be kept three (3)
calendar days or three (3) working days. Therefore, in an effort to prevent the premature disposal
of animals before their owners have the opportunity to redeem them, said language should be
amended to "three (3) working days".
TItEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY TI~E COMMON COUNCIL OF TI~E CITY OF
JEFFERSONVILLE TI~AT:
The language of Jeffersonville City Ordinance 78-OR-43 shall be amended from "three (3) days"
to set forth that animals shall not be euthanized if their owner's have not claimed them and paid
the required fees after "three (3) working days."
This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect upon it's passage, promulgation and publication in
accordance with the law.
