Item ~.6 Consider and discr_iss request for variance to Leash
Law to be able to r~_~n dags, supervised, in the Kerr County
Bark located across the Guadalupe River fr^osa the State F~ark
and behind the Ag-Barn. (George Chapman)
Mr. Chapman addressed the Coi_rrt stating he takes his dog to
the Kerr Co~_inty F~ark located across the Guadalupe River from
the State F~ar~k and wo~_~ld like a variance from the Leash Law.
He does not think owner-~s sha~_rld be fined or under the threat
of a fine. Judge Denson drew attention to the back up
material from Environmental Health Department that animals be
r'estr'ained from r~_rnning at large and this could protect
everyone. He explained that a lady addressed the Court last
week about a pit bull attaching her great lane which res~_rlted
in a ~101.0~ veterinary bill. We have to have laws to
protect o~_rr people.
George Chapman said that this lady has a vicious great done
and the story is opposite fr^om what she said. She has had
trouble with other dogs. If any dogs are suspicions then put
them on a leash. He understands the rabies law is necessary
and he does not want any trouble with the law. Judge Denson
reiterated that h1r. Wright does not issue citations
needlessly. He would enco~_~rage him to enforce the Leash Law
if any animal is aggressive in behavior, growling or snarling
at people. This law wo~_rld protect Mr. Chapman as well. (No
action was taken by the Court ),_`_ ____~---------------- -- ------~--~_~
