A proposed ordinance amendment sought to add new sections to the city's animal code defining and regulating vicious and aggressive dogs, creating Section 7.12.070 (Vicious Dogs) and Section 7.12.080 (Aggressive Dogs). The changes were designed to clarify the city's standards for dangerous dog classifications and establish enforcement procedures to protect residents and pets. The City Council held hearings on the proposal but it ultimately stalled without final approval.
