SUBJ: An Ordinance Amending Chapter 14 of the Chanhassen City Code
Concerning Park Rules
This ordinance amendment is intended to officially`¢authottize police K -9s and rescue dogs to be excluded
from the city ordinance prohibiting dogs in the pants. Thy has never caused a problem until recently
when an individual was issued citations for two dogs at large, while the officer was in the park with his
police K -9. The individual cited complained abiiut citizens being treated differently, although the Park
& Recreation Director Todd Hoffman and I explained to this individual that it has only been our
assumption that K -9s and rescue dogs could Iii in the parks by implied consent. This ordinance
amendment will simply make this official should the question arise again.
a
Both the Public Safety Commission and Park & Recreation Commission have reviewed this ordinance
amendment and endorsed it to be submitted to the Council. -:

Staff Recommendation: It is & recommendation of staff that this 'otdinance be approved by the City
Council.
