utility vehicle that is being [7:19] donated to the police department valued [7:20] at over $38,000 So we're very [7:22] appreciative of that donation There's a [7:25] couple ordinance amendments here that [7:26] have been discussed at work sessions but [7:28] I just wanted to highlight them tonight [7:29] Item 6D is an ordinance amending our [7:33] control of dogs So our previous [7:34] ordinance required a leash but also [7:36] allowed voice control Uh per the [7:39] discussion of the council we are [7:40] removing the allowance to for dog to be [7:43] under the command of your voice Um so it [7:46] will be required to have a leash but the [7:48] parks department will be establishing [7:49] some dog training areas in specific [7:52] parks that will be allowed for off leash [7:54] um work Great Item 6E is related to the [7:58] furnishing of cannabis um under our [8:00] social host ordinance We have had a [8:02] social host ordinance where um that's [8:05] pertain to alcohol but with the [8:06] legalization of cannabis by the state [8:08] legislature The council discussed adding [8:10] cannabis to that ordinance And so that [8:11] is 6E And then item 6G is an ordinance [8:15] that allows staff in the city to post [8:18] certain uh city-owned storm water ponds [8:21] as no fishing We have had some um [8:23] complaints about fishing and impacts to [8:25] some neighboring
