The article doesn’t provide many details regarding the ordinance passed last week. However, unless significant amendments were made to the proposed ordinance since I last spoke with the city clerk a few hours before the council meeting, it contains language that regulates and/or bans the ownership of SEVERAL breeds of dogs. To my knowledge and per the city clerk, the only amendment to the ordinance on April 5 was with respect to the insurance requirement. The breed specific language had not been removed.

Board okays dog law

The Eupora Board of Aldermen has given final approval to a dog and animal control ordinance. It did so April 5 following a public hearing in the Community Center.
The ordinance was initially adopted March 1 and revised on March 19. The board last week approved a final version that eliminated a section that would have required the owners of dangerous dogs to obtain a surety bond or liability insurance of at least $50,000 per dog. However, upon first conviction of any dangerous dog violation, the owner must show proof of insurance or surety bond;
The ordinance takes effect July 1. About 15 people attended the public hearing, with some voicing opposition to the insurance requirement that was initially proposed.
In opening the hearing, Mayor Tommy Lott said, “It is our responsibility to use this ordinance as a means to properly ensure the safety of all citizens and their property. At present we have no ordinance in place to protect the general public. Due to the number of complaints we’ve received as of late, this board has seen fit at this time to take this matter into further consideration and has therefore adopted the proposed dog and animal control ordinance.â€
