[4. CITIZEN COMMENTS (Comments are limited to 3 minutes.)]

I'LL GO AHEAD AND OPEN IT UP. CITIZEN COMMENTS. THANKS.

MORNING EVERYONE POSTED IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND COMING OVER HERE BUT I THINK WE'RE STILL THE STORMS SO WE WERE SURPRISED TO SEE YOURSELF STREET I HOPE MY NAME IS DENNIS ROSS I LIVE ON CAT ISLAND WHICH WAS OBVIOUSLY AN ACCOUNT OF I'M TALKING ABOUT AN ITEM THAT'S AFFECTING US AND SHOULD IMPACT HERE A COUPLE OF PROPERTIES THAT ARE ON SALE WHICH OF OUR PANEL ON MONDAY NIGHT WE HAD A PUBLIC HEARING WITH DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION OVER DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES THAT CONCERN THE CONSTRUCTION ON THE THREE MILE SHORELINE PROTECT ISLAND OF ALMOST POINT ONE MILES OF BREATH AND ABOUT A FOOTBALL FIELD AND A HALF OF HAVE IT HAVE FOR THE SEAWALL THAT THEY WANT TO INSTALL AROUND THAT ISLAND OBVIOUSLY WE'RE ALL CONCERNED ABOUT THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPACTS ON INFRASTRUCTURE COUNTY BUT I'M HERE TO DISCUSS THAT OR AT LEAST TALK ABOUT THAT ANOTHER ISSUE THAT IS WAS JUST BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THE OTHER DAY ABOUT THE INSTALLATION OF THE CITY WRAP ON THIS FRONT RIGHT ON SEA WALL AND I'LL GET INTO IT. BUT IT'S GOING TO TAKE ALMOST FOUR OR 500 TRUCKLOADS OF RIP WRAP TO COME IN TO BE INSTALLED ON AN ISLAND ON A ROAD THAT WAS JUST REBUILT WHICH IS THE NARROW ISLAND CAUSEWAY TO THE COST OF ABOUT $30 MILLION TO THE TAXPAYER. THERE'S LESS THAN A YEAR AGO AND THIS WILL HAVE DETRIMENTAL EFFECTS FROM VERY ENCOMPASSING PROBLEM THAT WE'VE GOT FOR THESE LEGACY DEVELOPMENTS BETWEEN UPPER AND LOWER TANK AND WE'RE JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE THE DEVELOPERS DO IT RIGHT. NOT MUCH WE CAN DO A LEGACY BUT CERTAINLY ARE TRYING TO LESSEN THE IMPACT OR HAPPENS ON THIS SEA ISLAND. THE OVERALL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF THIS DEVELOPMENT ARE FAR REACHING AFTER RECENT STORM STORMWATER RUNOFF ALREADY APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE BECAUSE THE REMOVAL OF NATURAL STORMWATER RELIEF WHICH TREES THEY'VE TAKEN OUT NUMEROUS TRADES ON FOR FRONT OF TRAIN TOPOGRAPHY TO SEE WHAT TREES HAVE BEEN OUT BECAUSE THE ENGINEERS OR THOSE DEVELOPMENT CLAIM THAT PART OF THE REASON THEY WANT TO PUT BRICK IN IS TO PROTECT THE TREES THEY'VE ALREADY TAKEN OUT INNUMERABLE LEGACY TYPE TREES. WELL WELL THROUGHOUT BEAUFORT COUNTY LEGACY DEVELOPMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN AROUND LIKE ISLAND TELFAIR ALL DRAW DOWN SOUTH OF THE BROAD.

THERE ARE NUMEROUS LEGACY DEVELOPMENTS AS OF RECENTLY THERE ARE SOME DOWN SPANISH WELLS ON HILTON HEAD AND THEN ALONG THAT RUB DIFFERENT COUNTY THAT ARE SUFFERING THE EFFECTS OF OUR DEVELOPMENT AND WHAT SOME OF THESE HYDRAULIC ENGINEERS HAVE TRIED TO COME IN AND PROVE THROUGH STORMWATER ENGINEERING THAT IT'S NOT A PROBLEM AS SOMEBODY RUNS ON THE SHELL POINT NEIGHBORHOOD RIGHT NOW HOW THEY'RE AFFECTED OR ENGINEERING ASSESSMENTS THAT WERE DONE 20 AND 30 YEARS AGO AND WE'RE FEELING THAT WE'RE GOING TO FEEL THE EFFECTS OF THIS INSTALLATION OF REFERENDUM ON SEAWALL, ON CANE ON BOTH SIDES OF CAPE COD ON THIS ISLAND AND ANYBODY THAT'S UP ALONG THE CALVERT PORT THAT IS AN ISLAND CREEK IT'S GOING HAVE IMPACTED THE DEVELOPERS CONCERN WITH THE INSTALLATION OF OF THIS RIP UP RIP PREGNANCY WELL AS PRIMARY ESTHETICS AND TO PROTECT ■THE PROPERTIES THAT ARE DEVELOPING FROM FURTHER EROSION WHICH WILL BE CAUSED BY THE ERADICATION OF NATURAL STORMWATER WHICH IS ALREADY CAUSING REVOCATION OF NATURAL STORMWATER RELIEF A STRONG WHAT I LIKE TO CALL A HAND GRENADE OF HAPPINESS OF THE GREAT THINGS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO WITH THIS PROPERTY ARE GOING TO HAVE A REC CENTER. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE NO POSSIBILITY THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE THIS YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A MARINA WITH A FISHING DOCK. WHAT I TELL YOU AFTER THEY'RE LONG GONE AND THEY'RE ON TO THEIR NEXT PROJECT AS LOCAL RESIDENTS ARE LEFT WITH THE AFTEREFFECTS OF WHAT THAT

[00:05:06]

THEIR ISSUE IS THIS THEY DON'T WANT TO SHORTEN UP THEIR PROPERTY AND I'VE HAD A DISCUSSION WITH THE SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT OF AN ISLAND DEVELOPMENT AND HE TOLD ME EXACTLY THAT THAT THEY DON'T WANT THOSE PROPERTIES SHORTENED SO THEY'RE GOING TO INSTALL RIP SELECTING THE MAXIMUM UTILIZATION ON THOSE PIECE OF PROPERTY AND WHO PAYS THE PRICE. WE DID THE RESEARCH THE SOLE HAD RELATED DESTRUCTION LIKE I SAID LEAVES US SEAWALL WHAT THEY WANT TO PUT IN IT'S NOT THERE TO PROTECT THE SHORELINE OR PROTECT THE TREES. THEY SAID WELL BUT IT'S NOT IT'S ALL ABOUT PROTECTION OF THAT PROBLEM RIFFRAFF THAT THEY WANT TO INSTALL I'M SURE YOU MAY OR MAY NOT BE AWARE IT'S GOT A LOT OF ISSUES AS FAR AS THE ENVIRONMENT AND FLOODING ARE CONCERNED.

NUMBER ONE, IT'S HABITAT DISRUPTION, THE HABITAT THAT THE PROPOSED PLACE ALONG THE SOUTHERN SHORE OF UPPER ISLAND IS A NATURAL AREA FOR DOLPHINS TO OF STRANDINGS SHIP IT'S THERE ALL THE TIME THE PLACEMENT OF THAT CONTRACT GOT TO START THAT THERE'S VERY FEW PLACES WITHIN THE NORTHERN PART OF BAY FOR THAT MATTER THAT HAVE STRANDED SHIPPING ANOTHER STONE OUT DOCKSIDE BUT ONCE AGAIN WE'RE LIMITING OUR WILDLIFE FOR WHAT JUST SO A DEVELOPER CAN KEEP THIS PROPERTY IN TACT, THE ALTERED SEDIMENT FLOW IS GOING TO CAUSE PROBLEMS ALONG THE ISLAND CAUSEWAY. IT'S ALREADY CAUSING PROBLEMS WHICH ALREADY HAVE ITS PROBLEMS BECAUSE OF THE BUILD UP AN ISLAND OR THE DESTRUCTION OF TREES ON AN ISLAND OF SHIPS THAT CAUSES HEAT ISLANDS. THE DARK STONE FOR THAT CORRECT IS GOING TO BE THE CHANGE WATER TEMPERATURE AN ALREADY FRAGILE ECOSYSTEM THAT WE KNOW WE AND WE CHERISHED NAUTICAL CHARTS THE DEVELOPERS THEY'LL YOU ON ONE SIDE OF THE MOUTH AHEAD BUT IT'S NOT IMPACT ON TOURISTS ON LIFE WE'RE ALREADY SEEING AN INFLUX OF DEER ON THE ROADS CAUSING ACCIDENTS CAUSING PROBLEMS BECAUSE. THEY'VE BEEN DISPLACED FROM OUR PARK AND SOON TO BE FROM LOWER CAYMAN ISLANDS WHILE SO WE'VE SEEN OUR WILDLIFE LESS WILD TURKEYS, IT'S DESTRUCTIVE AND WHAT THEY'RE DOING WE CAN'T STOP IT BUT AT LEAST WE CAN SLOW IT DOWN AND TRY TO INHIBIT SOME OF THESE ISSUES. I'D ASK YOU ALL TO ENCOURAGE DEVELOPERS TO LESS IMPACT HUMANS TO PROTECT THE SHORELINE SUCH AS THE LIVING SHORELINE WITH NATIVE FLORA AND FAUNA AT THEM RETHINK WHAT THEY HAVE ALREADY PLANNED BY USING SPARTAN ADDRESS OYSTER CASTLES AND OTHER MEANS THAT MAY NOT HAVE AS MUCH.

I APPEAL TO THE CLIENTELE OR BE PROTECTIVE OF THE PROPERTY LINES BUT WOULD PROTECT RESIDENTS AND AN ALREADY FRAGILE ECOSYSTEM THAT LIVES AND BREATHES IN THE WATERS AND MARSHES RATHER THAN THE LOCAL TOURISM. AND THAT'S FOR US.

ELLIS JUST THE QUESTION OF THE THAT RIP WRAP AND ON TO YOU IT'S UNDER DISCUSSION NOW OUR GOVERNMENT SERVICES WE HAD A PUBLIC HEARING MONDAY AND PUBLIC COMMENTS CLOSED ON THE 6TH OF OCTOBER. ANY COMMENTS THAT WISH TO BE MADE CAN BE FOUND ON THE WEBSITE I SPOKE WITH MCKENZIE HUGHES YESTERDAY THEY'RE TAKING INTO ACCOUNT ALL THE PUBLIC COMMENTS RIGHT DOWN TO THE TRAUMA WHAT CAME BACK AND MORE CLEARLY WHETHER OR NOT A PRIVATE OR NOT THAT'S JUST AN EROSION EVENT WHAT THAT MIGHT BE I SAW AN OPPORTUNITY OR MAYBE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR COMMENTS FROM CITIZENS IS THERE A DEADLINE? YES. YES. YOU CAN GO ONLINE AND.

I CAN FORWARD THAT AND HAVE YOU LET ME STOP BY EMAIL ADDRESS. I CAN FORWARD THAT TO YOU.

IT IS THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICE AND THEY'RE ACCEPTING THOSE COMMENTS UNTIL OCTOBER SIX AND THEN THEY GO ON TO THE DECISION PERIOD AND OBVIOUSLY GUYS KNOW FROM THE SHORT PERIOD OF TIME THEY CAN IMPROVE IN 30 DAYS IT MAY TAKE UP TO A YEAR.

IT JUST DEPENDS ON THE IMPACTS OF CITIZEN COMMENTS AND IF THEY HAPPEN IN A SECOND SET OF EYES LOOK AT THE ENGINEERING CORPS BY THOMAS HUTTON TO DECIDED THIS IS IN FACT FACTUAL.

I'VE ALREADY FOUND PROBLEMS IT BUT I'M NOT AN ENGINEER AT CNN AS I MAY TO BE CONTROVERSIAL BUT ACTUALLY ONE OF THE GOOD THINGS POTENTIALLY COMING OUT OF THE PINE ISLAND PLAN WAS THE SHORELINE PROTECTION. I SAW THE DRAWINGS THAT WAS 30,000 50,000 METERS ARE BUT I

[00:10:01]

IT'S GOING TO CAUSE LONG TERM PROBLEMS. ALL I ASKED FOR FROM ALL OF THESE FOLKS THAT I SPEAK WITH IS TO HAVE THE VISION THINK AHEAD AFTER 20 YEARS.

I UNDERSTAND A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TAKES A LOT OF THAT ELEMENT OUT.

THINK AHEAD. THINK CAREFULLY WHAT YOUR DECISIONS AND WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO TODAY, HOW IT'S GOING TO IMPACT OUR CHILDREN TOMORROW ON A MORE OR LESS NOTE WE HAD ONE YOUNG GENTLEMAN THAT SPOKE MONDAY EVENING, 72 YEAR OLD EDDINGS, A SENIOR BEFORE HIGH AND WHAT A PASSIONATE AND IMPACTFUL STATEMENT THIS YOUNG MAN HAD HAD ON HOW THESE DEVELOPMENTS ARE AFFECTING HIM . CHILD LOOKS LIKE I HAD THAT GREW UP IN THIS AREA AND HOW IT'S AFFECTING HIM TODAY AND HOW IT'S GOING TO AFFECT HIS SO I WOULD CONSIDER THAT I HOPE YOU GUYS WOULD CONSIDER DOING WHATEVER IS POSSIBLE WITH THIS FIGHT AT LEAST TALK WITH THESE DEVELOPMENT WORKERS TO PERHAPS RE-ENGINEER RETHINK THEIR PLANS GOING FORWARD. LET'S LET'S IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT, WILDLIFE AND OBVIOUSLY RESEARCH POLITICS. ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU FOLKS. I OKAY.

[5. UPDATE ON CHANGES TO BEAUFORT COUNTY ANIMAL CONTROL ORDINANCE—JOHN ROBINSON, ASSISTANT COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR]

WELL GOOD MORNING. I'M JOHN ROBERTS AND I'M THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC SAFETY FOR BRIEF ACCOUNT. OH, THIS FEELS A LITTLE BIT LIKE HOME.

I SPENT MANY A DAY IN THIS INDUSTRY SO THANKS FOR HAVING MAYBE INVITED ME THIS MORNING AS WELL AS BILL AND KIDDO. AND KERRY IS OUR DEPUTY COUNTY ATTORNEY FOR BEFORE COMING TO TALK WITH YOU ABOUT THE RECENTLY ADOPTED ANIMAL ORDINANCE OF COUNTY AND WILL WORK WITH US OF COUNTY ANIMAL SERVICES. SURE ALL OF THE MUNICIPALITIES AND WITHIN BEFORE WE HAVE AGREEMENTS AND VIEWS BETWEEN EACH OF THE COUNTIES AND EACH EACH HAS SOMEWHAT THEIR OWN SPECIFICITY AND WE CONTINUE TO WORK ALONG WITH THOSE MUNICIPALITIES TO DEVELOP THAT SPECIFICITY RIGHT NOW IS WORKING WITH THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON AS THEY WORK THROUGH THEIR ORDINANCE TO ACCEPT THAT AND WE HAVE TALKED YOUR MANAGER AS WELL AND AND WILL CONTINUE WORK WITH THE CITY OF KINGSBURG AS THEY MOVE THROUGH THEIR PROCESS SO I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU FOR JUST A FEW MINUTES SOME OF THE CHANGES THAT WERE SORT AND THE PREVIOUS ORDINANCE WAS APPROVED IN 16 SO IT WAS TIME FOR AN UPDATE AND THERE ARE THERE ARE QUITE A FEW THINGS THAT WE IN HERE I'M ONLY GOING TO REALLY TALK ABOUT THE MAJOR THINGS THAT MAY IMPACT YOU OR YOUR CITIZENS AND WE CAN SOME DISCUSSION OR DIALOG GOING BACK AND FORTH. SO WHAT I PUT UP HERE FOR YOU THIS IS THE ALL OF THE AMENDMENTS ALL OF THE AMENDMENTS AND ANYTHING THAT'S ADDITIONS IS HIGHLIGHTED AND UNDERLINE ANYTHING THAT WAS STRUCK THROUGH YOU'LL JUST SEE THIS TRUCK STRIKE THROUGH THE FIRST BASIS WE CHANGE IS A DEFINITION AND THE FIRST ONE IS PRETTY IMPORTANT FOR US AS OF CLEARLY IDENTIFIED WHAT ADVERSE WEATHER IS. SO WE ADDED SOME TO THAT DEFINITION AND THE REASON IS LATER ON IN THE ORDINANCE THERE ARE SOME AREAS THAT THAT

[00:15:06]

THAT DOG NOT INTENDED TO SURVIVE THAT KIND OF COLD WEATHER IF IT WAS A HUSKY OH MAYBE THAT'S DIFFERENT SO THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE ADDRESSED AND JUST CLEARED UP SOME THINGS IN THE ORDINANCE TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS APPROPRIATE FOR ALL OF OUR CITIZENS. SO I'M GOING TO TALK MOSTLY ABOUT A FEW SECTIONS.

DILLON IS GOING TO DISCUSS SECTION 1432 AND 1447 AS THOSE ARE RELATED TO DANGEROUS ANIMALS. HE SPENT OF TIME IN COURT ALONG WITH OUR ADULT PATROL OFFICERS AND JUDGE SO HE IS THE EXPERT ON THOSE AREAS. I'M GOING TO TALK SECTION 1434 AND 1435 AS WELL AS ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE THOSE SECTIONS OR ARE 1434 IS NUISANCE ANIMALS AND. LET ME SEE HOW FAST I CAN GET THROUGH THIS.

THERE'S A THERE IS A LOT OF OKLAHOMA A LOT OF WORK THAT WENT INTO THIS.

OUR STAFF WORKED ON THIS ORDINANCE OF AMENDMENT FOR 810 MONTHS, WORKED ALONG ALONG WITH INPUT FROM MUNICIPALITIES INPUT FROM OUR I'M ALMOST THERE I'M STILL IN SECTION INPUT FROM OUR ANIMAL HUSBANDRY GROUPS THAT THAT MAINTAIN FARMS AND CATTLE AND THOSE TYPES OF THINGS IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT FOR US THAT WE HAD STAKEHOLDERS INVOLVED AND ADDRESS THEIR INPUT, INCORPORATED THEIR INPUT AND MADE SURE WE UNDERSTOOD ONE ANOTHER SO THAT WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING FOR THEM THAT WAS INAPPROPRIATE. THE SECTION THAT THAT WE'RE ABOUT TO GET TO ANIMAL CRUELTY NEGLECT. SO IN THIS SECTION WE WORKED ON THE DEFINITION A LITTLE BIT THERE DEFINING WHAT IS WHAT PROPER I THINK I PASSED 1435 FOR SORRY ABOUT THIS. THERE WE GO NUISANCE PETS AND LIVESTOCK THAT IS THAT IS THE SECTION THAT MOVES CITIZENS COMPLAINTS ARE IT IS SOMETIMES THAT THAT ROOSTER THAT LIVES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT HAPPENS TO BE IN THE CITY THAT WE GET CALLS FOR OR OR IT COULD BE AS SMALL AS AN ODOR THAT COMES FROM LIVESTOCK OR ANIMALS IN A NEIGHBORHOOD SO WE TRY TO ADDRESS ALL OF THOSE THINGS WE OFTEN ARE ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICERS WILL GO AND HAVE AN EDUCATIONAL VISIT THAT IS THAT IS THE MOST APPROPRIATE THAT WE HELP CITIZENS RESOLVE THOSE ISSUES WE REACH A LEVEL OF UNDERSTANDING WE WILL HELP THEM TO WORK THEIR PROBLEM BECAUSE THE NEXT THING AFTER INVOLVES CODES, ENFORCEMENT AND TICKET TO THOSE KINDS OF THINGS. SO MOST OF THE TIME OUR OFFICERS KNOW THE CITIZENS AND WE WORK WITH THE SENATE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE RESOLVE THOSE AREAS WELL IT IS CRITICAL THAT WE HAVE AN ORDINANCE IN PLACE THAT IS NOT FORCIBLY ANY TIME WE DON'T HAVE A REGULATION THAT'S ENFORCEABLE AND THAT'S REALLY JUST A DISCUSSION THAT WE HAVE TO WORK FORWARD TO THE POWER MAKE THINGS HAPPEN. SO THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE GET THIS DONE.

LIVESTOCK IS IS SOMETHING ELSE AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS THERE'S AN IMPORTANT DISTINCTION ABOUT WHAT ANIMAL CONTROL SERVICES DOES FOR BEAUFORT COUNTY IS MAY AS WE HELP WITH DOMESTIC ANIMALS SO THIS IS DOMESTIC DOGS CATS THINGS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE ON A SMALL FARM THERE'S A CLEAR DISTINCTION BETWEEN WILDLIFE AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS SO IF SOMEONE CALLS ABOUT A DEER OR RACCOON OR THOSE KINDS OF THINGS THAT'S THAT'S A CHEAPER A CATTLE OR A CHICKEN.

SO WE WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL THAT THE LINE THAT WE THAT WE CROSS AS RELATED LIVESTOCK SO THIS IS WE HAD TO ADD IN CLUCK CROW OR BLEAT ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE NOISE THINGS

[00:20:08]

SO IT'S A TREMENDOUS EFFORT. SO WHAT THIS DOES IS GIVES THESE OWNERS OF SMALL FARMS AND LIVESTOCK SOME OPPORTUNITY TO WORK ALONG WITH ANIMAL SERVICES TO PLAN AHEAD AND TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE EXPECTATIONS FOR COUNTY HAS OF THEM PRIOR TO THESE STORMS COMING DOWN.

SO WE'VE ASKED THEM TO DEVELOP PLANS TO WORK ALONG TO DEVELOP AN EVACUATION PLAN FOR THEIR ANIMALS TO CREATE SAFE HAVENS WITHIN THEIR PADDOCK, AREAS WHERE ANIMALS COULDN'T HAVE TO BE RESTRAINED OR TO CONSIDER OPENING THOSE GATES AND ALLOWING THOSE ANIMALS TO FIND THEIR OWN SAFE HAVEN BECAUSE THEY WILL. HOWEVER, THE RISK THAT WE HAVE AS A ANIMALS LET LOOSE AND NOW I WOULD SAY EVEN IF RURAL AREAS ARE MORE OCCUPIED THAN THEY TO BE SO YOU KNOW THAT BECOMES A PUBLIC SAFETY RISK. WELL SO IN THAT SECTION WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME WORKING WITH THE FARM BUREAU AND WORKING WITH REPRESENTATIVES OF THAT TO COME UP WITH LANGUAGE THAT IS APPROPRIATE FOR ALL OF THEM.

LET'S SEE ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS HAS ANYONE READ ALL OF US?

[00:25:07]

THEN THAT'S MUCH, MUCH MORE EFFICIENT FOR THE COUNTY TO DO THAT.

SO THAT TETHERING IS AN IMPORTANT CHANGE AND IT'S LIKE I SAID IT SIMPLY WITH EDUCATION AND THEN WE HELP THOSE RESIDENTS MEET THAT REQUIREMENT IN THE AUDIENCE AS BEST AS POSSIBLE. ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT BREAK? WELL, DOING IS GOING TO COME UP AND TALK WITH YOU ABOUT SECTION 32 AND 1447. LIKE I SAID SPENDS THE MAJORITY OF HIS TIME WITH OUR ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICERS. I'LL RUN THIS THING FOR LATER WORKING ON THE NEWS IN COURT. OKAY. WELL GOOD MORNING.

THANK YOU ALL. AS JOHN MENTIONED, MY NAME IS DYLAN KIDD, A DEPUTY COUNTY ATTORNEY. I'VE BEEN WITH THE COUNTY FOR COMING UP ON A YEAR AND A HALF AND ONE OF MY JOB DUTIES IS TO PROSECUTE THE CIVIL ANIMAL CONTROL MATTERS UNDER OUR ORDINANCE WE HAVE THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE DETERMINED TO PROSECUTE CRIMINAL ANIMAL CONTROL MATTERS . BUT I ALSO PROSECUTE CIVIL CODE ENFORCEMENT MATTER.

SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT PATCHWORK IN TERMS OF HOW WE HANDLE IT BUT WE HAVE GOOD COOPERATION.

SO WHEN I ARRIVED HERE AND BEGAN WORKING THIS ORDINANCE AND PROSECUTING THE CIVIL AND CONTROL MATTERS IT WAS AS YOU'LL SEE IN THE LANGUAGE IS CROSSED OUT AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS STATUS. THE PRIOR LANGUAGE THE OLD VERSION OF THIS ORDINANCE IS NOPE YOU'RE GOOD IT WAS FAIRLY BINARY. IT WAS BLACK AND WHITE.

IT WAS IF AN ANIMAL 90% OF THE TIME HERE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT DOGS IT'S A SHORTHAND THAT A DANGEROUS ORDINANCE 99% OF THE TIME IT IS A DOG AND IF THE DOG ENGAGED IN LISTED BEHAVIOR THE

[00:30:06]

SO JUST TO TALK ABOUT THE LEVEL SYSTEM THAT WE IMPLEMENTED AND OUR ANIMAL SERVICES DIRECTOR TO LITTLE ADDRESS WAS A BIG ADVOCATE OF THIS AND SHE WORKED VERY HARD TO PUSH US TO GET THIS THROUGH AND AFTER COUNSEL AS WELL SO LEVEL ONE BEHAVIOR YOU'LL SEE THIS IS THE LEAST SERIOUS CONDUCT TO QUALIFY FOR A DANGEROUS ANIMAL THAT IS MENACE DISPLAY THREATENING BEHAVIOR ETC. A LEVEL TWO BEHAVIOR IS IT IS AN ANIMAL THAT BITES OR CAUSES PHYSICAL INJURY TO A DOMESTIC ANIMAL LIVESTOCK PERSON AND LEVEL THREE BEING THE MOST SERIOUS CALLED SIGNIFICANT ENTRY OF DEAF OR DEAF TO A DOMESTIC LIVESTOCK PERSON OR IS A NAIL BITING OR REPEAT BEHAVIOR FROM LEVEL TWO. SO IF YOU ARE DETERMINED TO BE A LEVEL ONE OR LEVEL TWO DANGEROUS ANIMAL OWNER YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO PETITION THE MAGISTRATE COURT TO REVISIT THAT DETERMINATION AFTER ONE YEAR ON THE DATE OF DETERMINATION WE WILL WE HAVE NOT HEARD THOSE YET BUT WE ARE DEVELOPING THE PROCEDURE FOR. IT IS IT STILL HAS A YEAR OR TWO ELAPSE BUT WE DO HAVE A PROVISION ACTUALLY THAT SAYS THAT FOLKS ARE ALLOWED IF THEY'VE BEEN DEEMED DANGEROUS THE PAST YEAR TO GO AHEAD AND PETITION IF THEY WERE NOT ASSIGNED A LEVEL.

SO WE HAVE BEEN GIVING FOLKS THE BENEFIT OF THE NEW ORDINANCE SINCE IT REALLY WENT BEFORE COUNCIL IN MAY I HAVE BEEN ASKING COURTS TO DELAY ADJUDICATION OF DANGEROUS DOGS UNTIL WE UNTIL IT WENT THROUGH A THIRD READING ON AUGUST THE 11TH.

SO WE HAVE WORKING WITH THIS LEVEL SYSTEM FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW AND IT SEEMS HAVE MET A REACTION FROM THE DEFENDANTS, THE CITIZENS AND FROM THE COURTS FRANKLY AND WE DID WORK WITH THE JUDICIARY IN TERMS OF JUST ENSURING THAT EVERYTHING WAS KOSHER BUT WE SO FOR LEVEL ONE OR LEVEL TWO LIKE I SAID, YOU CAN PETITION TO READ THAT REVISED DETERMINATION AFTER A YEAR FOR LEVEL THREE AT THE MOST SERIOUS YOU CAN PETITION FOR A REEVALUATION AFTER FIVE YEARS HAS ELAPSED BUT THE CONFINEMENT REQUIREMENTS THEY ARE DETERMINED TO BE DANGEROUS ARE THE SAME. HOWEVER WHAT YOU'LL SEE IS THIS PARAGRAPH ADDRESSES GIVES THE ANIMAL SERVICES OFFICER DISCRETION TO CONSIDER THE TOTALITY OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES IN DETERMINING WHETHER TO PETITION AN ANIMAL AS A DANGEROUS OR NOT AND THEN FURTHER DOWN WE'RE LOOKING AT THE DANGEROUS ANIMALS AND THAT IS SUBSECTION DEFINES THE DANGEROUS ANIMALS IT IS AND PARAGRAPH GIVES THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE THE DISCRETION TO CONSIDER THE TOTALITY OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES IN BOTH DETERMINING WHETHER AN ANIMAL IS DANGEROUS AND ALSO IN ASSIGNING A LEVEL SO ALL OF THAT TO SAY THAT WE HAVE CHANGED IT FROM A SITUATION WHERE YOU CAN POINT TO AN ANIMAL HAVING COMMITTED A CERTAIN TYPE OF BEHAVIOR THAT IS LISTED THE ORDINANCE AUTOMATICALLY A DANGEROUS ANIMAL FOR THE LIFE OF THAT TO A SYSTEM WHERE THERE MAY HAVE BEEN MITIGATING CIRCUMSTANCES THAT AN ANIMAL SERVICES OFFICER OR A JUDGE CAN CONSIDER.

THEY ALSO ARE NOT REQUIRED TO ASSIGN THE SPECIFIC LEVEL THAT CORRESPONDS THE BEHAVIOR IT IS IF THEY DETERMINE THAT THE ANIMAL ENGAGED IN LEVEL TWO BEHAVIOR BUT THERE WERE MITIGATING CIRCUMSTANCES THEY MAY ASSIGN IT A LEVEL ONE FOR IT FOR TERM ON THE TERMINATION.

SO WE THAT THAT GIVES THE THE EXPERTS WHO DEAL WITH THIS FRANKLY A LOT MORE LEEWAY IN MAKING THE JUST DECISION AND IT GIVES OFF SOME ROOM FOR REHABILITATION OF DOGS WHICH WE

[00:35:06]

SO THOSE WERE THE THE MAJOR CHANGES IN TERMS SYSTEM THAT WE WORK WITH AND THAT I WORK WITH IN COURT WHEN IT COMES TO DANGEROUS TO US AND THE 1447 THAT JOHN MENTIONED STATES THAT A AN ANIMAL THAT HAS DETERMINED DANGEROUS SHALL NOT NO ONE CAN FIND OUT PROPERTY THAT WAS TECHNICALLY THE LAW PREVIOUSLY BUT THIS MAKES IT MORE EXPLICIT YOU KNOW AN UPDATE FOR NEXT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS AS CLEAR AS IT POSSIBLY CAN MAKE SO THE THESE ARE THE CONFINEMENT REQUIREMENTS THEY ARE THE SAME AS THEY USED TO BE BUT AS I SAID WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO AFTER ONE YEAR PETITION THE MAGISTRATE COURT TO REVISIT THE DETERMINATION AND POTENTIALLY REMOVE THE DESIGNATION SO THAT THESE CONFINEMENT REQUIREMENTS ARE NO LONGER REQUIRES THE ACTS OF THE OFFICER HAS THE DETERMINATION ON THE LEVEL WHERE THE MATTER SHOULD. SO THE OUTCOME IS YES IT'S A SO THE OFFICER WILL ISSUE THE INITIAL PETITION AND THEY CAN MAKE A RECOMMENDATION AS TO WHAT LEVEL THEY BELIEVE IT IS AND WHEN THEY ARE WHEN THEY TESTIFYING FOR IT THEY WILL ALSO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE COURT. IT IS NOT BINDING SO THEY MAKE PETITIONING ANIMALS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS AND THEN IT GOES BEFORE THE COURT AND THE MAGISTRATE COURT ULTIMATELY DETERMINES WHETHER THE ANIMAL IS DANGEROUS AND IF SO WHAT LEVEL TO ASSIGN THAT ANIMAL? A GOOD QUESTION. THAT IS THE GENERAL PROCESS. IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION . IF A OWNER OF THE ANIMAL WANTS TO PETITION THAT RULING THEY GO BACK TO THE COURT SO IT BECOMES A COURT DECISION NOT A DECISION OF A CABINET.

SO THAT'S REALLY CRITICAL FOR US ON ALL LEVELS LEVEL ONE, TWO AND THREE THEY'RE ALL REQUIRED TO HAVE A $50,000 CERTIFIED. YES. SO ONCE THEY'RE DESIGNATED AS A DANGEROUS ANIMAL THAT THEY HAVE TO HAVE BOND. YES, SIR.

AND WHO WHO MONITORS THAT SO AGAIN IN COURT SO WHEN THEY COME TO ANIMAL SERVICES TO YOUR REQUIREMENTS SO WHEN THEY COME THERE IS A REQUIREMENT IN HERE THAT A DIFFERENT THE LAW SO THERE IS WHEN YOU IN WHEN THE ANIMAL IS DEEMED DANGEROUS THEY HAVE TO REGISTER HAS TO REGISTER THE ANIMAL WITH THE COUNTY THERE'S A $5 REGISTRATION FEE SO THEY CONTACT COUNTY ANIMAL SERVICES TO DO THAT AT THAT TIME THEY THE SEPARATE FROM INSURANCE WHICH IS GENERALLY OBTAINED IN MY EXPERIENCE AS AN ADD ON TO ALL POLICY IT'S BEST IN A WAY THAT WE SEE IT DONE BUT I THINK IT CAN BE DONE PROBABLY AS WELL ON THOSE SURETY BONDS READILY AVAILABLE THROUGH INSURANCE COMPANY STAFF I THINK SOME CAN BE MORE DIFFICULT REALLY DEPENDS ON YOUR INTEREST. SO I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THAT AND WHY THAT IS SO IMPORTANT FOR FOR THAT WHY THE CHANGE IS REALLY SO IMPORTANT PREVIOUSLY THEY WERE DANGEROUS OR NOT DANGEROUS THERE WAS NO IN BETWEEN AND LIKE DILLON SAID THEY WERE DEEMED DANGEROUS.

IT WAS PERPETUAL. IT WAS FOR THE LIFE OF THE ANIMAL.

SO RESIDENTS WERE BURDENED WITH THAT EXPERT INSURANCE AND DEPENDING ON THAT INSURANCE COMPANY COULD BE PROHIBITIVE. THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS A YEAR OR MORE AND FOR MANY RESIDENTS THAT IS SIGNIFICANT A $100 A MONTH FOR INSURANCE TO KEEP THEIR DOG.

SO WHAT HAPPENED OFTEN IS FOLKS WOULD EITHER ABANDON ANIMAL, HIDE THE ANIMAL, MOVE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE AND NOT THE PERFECT CONNECTIONS THAT WERE NECESSARY TO START WITH AND THAT MADE A RISK FOR OTHER CITIZENS NOW OH WHERE WHERE DOES YOUR DANGEROUS OH I DON'T KNOW. WELL IT'S TWO DOORS DOWN IF THEIR CALL AND WE STILL HAVE THE POTENTIALLY AT LAST ANIMAL IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD IT'S NOT SAFE FOR US THIS ALLOWS FOR SOME CONSIDERATION OF THAT AND REDUCTION OF THAT AT SOME POINT BECAUSE THINGS BAD THINGS HAPPEN ANIMALS HAVE BAD DAYS THEY'RE NOT CARED FOR PROPERLY OR THEY GOT LOOSE FROM THEIR PROFESSION. THIS IS THIS IS A WAY TO REMEDIATE THAT.

BUT AN ANIMAL OWNER HAS STRICT LIABILITY. ABSOLUTELY.

PERIOD. YES, SIR. THAT'S CORRECT.

AND AGAIN, A VERY GOOD POINT AND WE DILLON WORK VERY HARD ON THIS TO TRANSITION THAT BECAUSE IT IS SPECIFIC TO A CITIZEN TO TRANSFERRED WHAT WAS A DECISION OF AN ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICER TRANSFER THAT DECISION TO THAT OF THE COURT AND THAT'S THAT REALLY ADDS A LOT MORE STRENGTH TO WHAT'S GOING ON AND THAT'S DECISION MAKING AND DUE PROCESS.

YES. AND IN OFFICERS, THANK YOU. SORRY.

NO, NO, THAT'S OKAY. I THINK WE'VE COVERED MOST OF THE SUBSTANCE OF THE NEW

[00:40:03]

SO JUST SPEAKING FOR PURPOSES OF IF AND WHEN CITY WANTS TO ADOPT BY REFERENCE OR ADOPT THEIR OWN VERSION OF TOWN WILL CERTAINLY SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND BUT THIS IS STILL WE CONTINUE TO WORK ON IT TO MEET EVERYONE'S NEEDS BUT WE'RE IT WAS A LONG TIME COMING AND IT WAS AN EFFORT THAT WE WERE PROUD TO HAVE TO HAVE CONCLUDED HERE NATIONALLY.

WE HAVE NOT WE THE ORDINANCE YEAH IT'S OUR REFERENCE FOR YOU KNOW WHAT WE DID NOT SO THE HISTORY ON THIS IS THAT IN 16 ALL THE MUNICIPALITIES IN EXCHANGE FOR COUNTY PERFORMING ADULT SERVICES AGREED TO ■ADOPT THE COUNTY'S FIRST ANIMAL CONTROL BOARD ASSESSOR SO MAY HAVE ADOPTED BY WHICH WE DID NOT WE DID NOT HAVE TO BE APPROVED WHEN I WAS A APPLYING WE DID NOT DO IT THERE EITHER BECAUSE HAD A COUPLE OF EXTRA THINGS THAT WE WANTED TO PUT IN AND I THINK IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH CHICKENS OR HARVESTERS AND TYPE HIM.

WE DID THE SAME THING HERE WE WERE UNDER THE PRESUMPTION BEFORE THIS MORNING THAT THE CITY HAD ADOPTED IT BY REFERENCE BUT WE DID NOT WHICH MEANS WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE COUNTY'S ADOPTED VERSION AND COMPARE IT WITH WHAT WE HAVE AND SEE IF THERE ARE ANY GLARING DIFFERENCES AS SOON AS WE CAN BRING THIS TO CITY COUNCIL FOR CONSIDERATION. FIRST READING WOULD BE NOVEMBER AND SO WE MAY BE WORKING WITH YOU PRIOR TO THAT AND WOULD ASK IF YOU CAN AVAILABLE IN NOVEMBER AS A AS A DURING THAT MEETING THAT MIGHT BE HELPFUL. YES SIR. AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE THE ABILITY TO APPOINT READING ADOPTER ABOUT HELPING DOCUMENT AUDITS OR PENDING AUDITS DOCTRINE BECAUSE IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT CAN BE CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE WE HAVE READING AND SUMMER AND THAT WOULD ALLOW THE COUNTY TO BEGIN ENFORCEMENT.

OKAY. BUT UNTIL THAT THEY CAN'T ENFORCE THAT WITHIN THE CITY UNTIL IT'S RIGHT? YES, THAT'S CORRECT AND I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK OUT OF TURN BUT WHAT ABOUT FROM WHAT I GATHER THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON THAT THEIR TIMELINE AS WELL AS OTHER GREAT PROPOSAL I THINK WE SHOULD ALL BE ABLE TO THAT OUT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

OF COURSE. THANK YOU. IT'S OUR NEXT ISSUE THAT COUNTY HAVE JURISDICTION OR AUTHORITY TO GO INTO A GATED COMMUNITY WITH NATURE AWAY THEY HAVE SOME AND THESE RULES TO THAT WORK SO TO GET IN THE COMMUNITY THAT HAS NATURE WAIVING BYLAWS ON ANIMALS SO I HAVE HAD A BASE FOR EXAMPLE ON ON HARBOR ISLAND WE HAVE ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITY OUT THERE. IT KIND OF DEPENDS ON WE HAVE AN IDEA THAT COVERS THE SPECIFIC AREA BECAUSE OF THEM ARE LOCATED IN DIFFERENT AREAS BUT GENERALLY SPEAKING IT'S THE HIGHWAY IS ONE THAT COOPERATES WITH US AND REQUESTS OUR ENFORCEMENT OR IT'S COVERED BY ONE OF OUR AGGREGATES IN GENERAL. YES.

SO THESE AMENDMENTS HAVE A COVERED DISTRIBUTOR TO THE HIGHWAY.

THEY'VE BEEN THEY HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED PUBLICLY I DON'T KNOW THAT THEY'VE BEEN DISTRIBUTED SPECIFICALLY TO THE WAYS THAT IT'S SOMETHING WE CAN LOOK INTO.

THERE IS AN INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR RENTAL PROPERTIES WITH REFERENCE TO TENANTS AND THIS HAS IMPACT ON THAT WITH TO THE SHORT TERM BONDS AND OTHERWISE BECAUSE OF DANGEROUS ANIMALS BY CLASSIFICATION HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE PENETRATION PROPERTIES OFTEN PRECLUDE HAVING BILLS SO SPECIFICALLY SECURITY THAT'S FINE THANK YOU ALL BUT I'VE SAID IT TIME AND TIME AGAIN Y'ALL WORKED REALLY HARD ON THIS AND I APPRECIATE THE METHOD THAT YOU'RE USED TO OF REALLY THINKING IT OUT BRINGING IN THE STAKEHOLDERS AND ALLOWING THIS TO TO REALLY REFLECT I THINK WHAT THE COMMUNITY WANTS AND US THE FLEXIBILITY I THINK ALL THIS GENERATION SHOULD BE DONE IN THIS MANNER AND I THINK IT SHOULD BE A MODEL THAT CAN BE REPLICATED. SO I APPRECIATE THE WAY Y'ALL

[00:45:02]

AND WE THANK COUNCILMAN BARTHOLOMEW AS WELL. IT WAS THIS WAS IMPORTANT AND AND WORKING WITH US AND WE ARE HERE TO APPLY THE SO IT WAS A VERY PRODUCTIVE MEETING THE I MADE A GOOD POINT IN THE OTHER TYPES OF ANIMALS THAT YOU CANNOT CONTROL ALLIGATOR AND AND THOSE ARE THE CALLS THAT WE GET WE DO AND WE'RE NOT EQUIPPED TO HANDLE ALLIGATORS BUT THAT'S PROBABLY THE MOST FREQUENT CALL THAT WE GET WE START COMPANY OUR ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICERS WILL DO THEIR BEST TO FIND THE HELP FIND THE RIGHT RESOURCE TO TAKE CARE IF IT IS A PUBLIC SAFETY PROBLEM. WE'RE GOING TO BE THERE. WE'RE GOING TO MANAGE THAT BUT IT DOES EXCEED AUTHORITY TO MANAGE WILDLIFE. BUT WHEN IT BECOMES A PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUE WILL INVOLVE LAW ENFORCEMENT FIRE DEPARTMENT YOU MIGHT HAVE SEEN AN ARTICLE YESTERDAY OF OUR OFFICERS GOT A PHONE CALL THAT WAS AN ABANDONED ANIMAL AND LOCKED IN A TRAILER. WE HAVE REALLY NO EMERGENCY AUTHORITY TO GO OPEN WITH SOMEONE'S PROPERTY AND GAIN ACCESS TO THAT AGAIN THERE WAS NO EMERGENCY.

THE BUILDING WASN'T ON FIRE BUT . THERE WAS AN ANIMAL WHO HAD ABANDONED IN THAT PROPERTY. WE STAYED ON SCENE. WE CALLED THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT. WE GOT THE LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT.

THEY DID WHAT THEY HAD TO DO TO RESCUE THAT ANIMAL AND IT TURNED OUT BE AN UNPLEASANT ANIMAL BUT THAT ANIMAL WAS WAS SAFELY IN GREAT AND TAKEN TO THE SHELTER AND WILL BE GIVEN CARE AND REHABILITATED. AND NOW I UNDERSTAND THAT ONE OF THE FAMILY MEMBERS OF THE PERSON WHO EVACUATED THAT HOME WANTS TO TAKE AN ANIMAL SO WE'LL PLACE THAT ANIMAL BACK WHERE IT BELONGS AND AND THEN BURDEN OF CARE OF THAT ANIMAL STAYS WITH THEM WITH THE RESIDENT AND THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO US ANIMAL SERVICES IS A VERY EXPENSIVE BUSINESS SO EVERY TIME WE KEEP AN ANIMAL IN ITS HOME EITHER BY REGULATION OR BY WE ARE SO MUCH BETTER OFF WITHOUT ALLIGATORS. MY WIFE CALLED DNR BECAUSE WE HAVE ONE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THEY SAID LOOK WE'LL GIVE YOU A PERMANENT RELEASE SERVICE LIKE THIS DANGEROUS DO NOT CARE IF IT'S DANGEROUS GET OTHER PEOPLE TO BUT WALK ACROSS YOU ALSO SAID BUT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE CONSIDERED DANGEROUS FOR YOUR DEPARTMENT TAKE IT OUT AND I HAVE OF MY COHORTS THAT WAS QUITE OLD I REMEMBER THAT I'VE HAD TO RESCUE ONE FROM THE YMCA SWIMMING POOL BEFORE AND SURE ENOUGH PAY EXTRA THAT HERE'S SOME OF THEM YEAH AND ALL MUSCLE FROM IRAQ.

WELL LIKE I SAID, YOU KNOW OUR OUR JOB IS TO IS TO HELP CARE FOR AND AND ADJUDICATE DOMESTIC WE TRY TO AVOID THAT THAT CONTACT WITH WILDLIFE THAT IT'S NOT WITHIN OUR OUR ORGANIZATION BUT WE WILL TAKE NECESSARY ACTIONS ON BEHALF OF PUBLIC SAFETY LET'S CONSIDER HOW MEET UP AGAIN BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE THEY ARE YEAH I THINK THAT THE WILDLIFE IS NOT ABOUT SNAKES PERSONALLY ALTHOUGH I WORK FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WE DID RESCUE A FEW SNAKES I DID NOT REACH AN ENTIRE AREA FOR I GRABBED A HOLD OF I TOOK IT OUT AND THEN ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR US JUST TO LET YOU KNOW WITH A STUDY PUBLISHED ON UNICODE BECAUSE I CHECKED TWO WEEKS AGO AND IT WAS AND IT'S STILL NOT THERE. YES DOES TAKE ME TO CODE A LITTLE WHILE BUT SO THIS HAS BEEN PART OF IT FOR A WHILE BUT THE CLERK'S OFFICE MANAGER AND THEN THEY HAVE TO GO ONCE THE TERMS OF IT AS WELL WE HAD A PUBLISHED WE ALSO GOT CHANGE YEAH WE CHANGE OVER OUR SYSTEM SPECIFIC WAS ACTIVATED AS WELL SO WE SEND THAT DOCUMENT INTO THE INTO THE COMPANY JUST LIKE THIS AND THEN THEY WILL CODIFY IT SO THEY CAN MAKE SURE THE FORMAT IS CORRECT AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF UPWARD IN TERMS OF THE FARM YOU'RE ASKING BECAUSE THE OLD VERSIONS ALL THERE YEAH SO YEAH WHICH IS NOT A COMPLETE CHANGE AT ALL.

YEAH IT TAKES US A YEAR GET IT ON AND MORE TIME TO GET IT ONLINE DUE TO THE INSURANCE COMPANIES THAT ARE PROVIDING INSURANCE THESE DO THEY GET THIS INFORMATION JUST THROUGH THE GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENTS OR ONLINE HOW HOW DO HOW DO THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT'S A RESPONSIBILITY FOR UNDERSTANDING YOUR WORK OR YOU MEAN PART IN TRUCK SOMETHING TO

[00:50:03]

MAYBE THEY HAVE SOME SPECIAL TRAINING THEIR ANIMAL OR HAVE PROTECTED THEIR THEIR THEIR HOME IN SOME WAY THAT THE COURT WILL RECOGNIZE AND THEN ALLOW TO REDUCE THAT THAT DANGEROUS DOG FINDING AND ALLOW THEM TO NOT HAVE TO PAY THAT INTERACTION POINT.

WELL, THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. I THINK THE RESTORATION WE CAN DO FOR AND AGAIN WE'LL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH YOUR CITY MANAGER AND YOU GOT IT.

OKAY AS WE MOVE FORWARD. THANKS A LOT YOU INTERESTING OH I THINK CHARLES SPANIEL THIS ALL THOSE THREE CATEGORIES. YEAH SO THESE GUYS STARTED OKAY SO WE'RE OPEN FOR DISCUSSION ANYTHING ANYBODY OR PUT CHALLENGES. OKAY WE'LL SEE AND THEN I GUESS
