Despite heavy opposition at the last meeting-35 people speaking against the 
ban and three Council members voting against the ban AND a dangerous Dog Task 
Force working for a year and recommmending AGAINST a ban the city goes against 
all logic and passes a ban anyway. 

Mayor Tom Carlson "I want to communicate to people we're serious about the 
issue. We're not going to waver," he said. "Vicious dogs and vicious pit bulls 
will not be tolerated in this community. Period."

Within about six months - the time it'll take the city to set up new 
procedures - all pit bull owners will be required to register their dogs with 
the 
city, for a $50 annual fee. Registration only comes for fixed dogs with proof 
of 
rabies shots and microchip identification. Only certified show dogs are exempt 
from spaying and neutering requirements. 
Meanwhile, all dogs with American Pit Bull Terrier, American Straffordshire 
Terrier or Straffordshire Bull Terrier traits are to be "confined" while at 
their homes - which must have warning signs posted at every entrance - and 
either 
caged or leashed and muzzled while in public.
