As it has in many cities, the subject of dangerous dogs and irresponsible and possibly criminal dog owners will be the topic at Monday's City Council work session.
After spirited public comment last Monday, a "Pit Bull Summit" is afoot with Police Chief Joseph Goss, city attorney Christine Stone and county dog warden Todd Cummings. The trio will answer questions about how existing laws can be used to answer concerns about attacks like the recent canine home invasion on Nellis Street.
Also on Monday, Council will discuss tourism promotion and the fate of the Woolworth Building.

The city should require that all dogs over 50 pounds have to get their teeth pulled. No Pit Bull would ever gum you to death.
Yesterday I was driving on High Street and I saw two ten year olds walking their Pit bulls. The first thing that cam to my mind is that they could not control those dogs if they had to. It is child endangerment.
Maybe you cannot write breed specific law but there is nothing to stop you from "profiling" while enforcing existing laws." Such as child endangerment and reckless endangerment.

Mayor.... Are your existing ordinances enforced or are they just a convenience to have on the books so your enforcing officers can pick and choose???
Why have an ordinance unless its enforced ???
I was not drunk/////
Since specific breeds can't be banned, I think stiffer fines and more severe consequences against the owners of dogs who attack people or other animals is the answer to this problem.
11.21 am. You said it.
Today Easter sunday in my neigborhood, people let their pit bull mix run around and have send it for a walk with their six year old kid, the other day.
It is about time that harsher laws will be enforced.
Responsible dog owners have unfortunately to deal with that nuciance, when these dogs are ruming around on some one elses proberty.
