We just cannot emphasize enough the importance of keeping your animals under control. We continuously receive complaints on dogs running loose or uncared for. Not only is it an unnecessary inconvenience and nuisance to your neighbors, but it is costly for animal control expense that the City must pay and tax homeowners for. If everyone would cooperate we could lessen or eliminate this problem. 'Snow Removal Notice .....
