Alvord, Ms. P4argie Lyons, Mrs. Ronald, and myself, <br /> ` I was asked by the group to express their collective <br /> views on the issue of the Kennel License fee increase <br /> � from $25.00 to $100. 00 per year. Mrs. Harry C. <br /> Piper III had planned to be present, but she was <br /> � not in attendance. <br /> �' This group, herein named, consists of the only <br /> � current holders of a dog kennel license in our <br /> City to our knowledge. <br /> � <br /> It is our desire that our individual dog operations <br /> � be designated by the City of Orono as "Hobby Kennels" , <br /> i with appropriate commensurate license fee as opposed <br /> to a Commercial boarding kennel of regularly <br /> � scheduled business operations with resulting income <br /> which warrants the higher fee, as do similar <br /> � commercial enterprises within the City of Orono. <br /> � We respectfully request that the Council adopt as <br /> the City Ordinance regulating dogs, the Minnesota <br /> � Purebred Dog Breeders Association "Model Ordinance" , <br /> • drafted June 17, 1974, and recently submitted to <br /> the Council by Mr. Maxwell E. Alvord. <br /> � With regard to section H of that document, we <br /> � suggest that the title "Residential Kennel" be <br /> changed to read "Hobby Kennel" , and that such a <br /> � kennel be designated as a place where three or <br /> more dogs are kept for the purpose and under <br /> 0 the conditions therein stated. <br /> � We respectfully suggest that the present kennel <br /> � license fee of $25. 00 be kept in effect for such <br /> an operation, in defference to the overall good <br /> � record and willing compliance with City laws, and <br /> wishes of the Council by all the current holders <br /> 'a of a kennel license in the City of Orono. <br /> � End of letter <br /> � Paurus moved, Butler seconded, to instruct the <br /> � legal department to review in part minimum standards <br /> as submitted by the Psinnesota Purebred Dog Breeders <br /> � Association considering a $25. 00 fee for Hobby <br /> Kennels and submit for the March 14 , 1977 Council <br /> � meeting. Motion, Ayes (5) - Nays (0) . <br /> � Paurus moved, Massengale seconded, to extend the <br /> � dog kennel licenses until March 14, 1977. Motion, <br /> Ayes (5) - Nays (0) . <br /> � <br /> • <br />
