The following ordinance was presented to the Council for adoption:
ORDINANCE NO. 669
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ROSEMEAD ADOPTING, BY REFERENCE, LOS ANGELES COUNTY
ANIMAL CONTROL AND CARE REGULATIONS
MOTION BY MAYOR PRO TEM IMPERIAL, SECOND BY COUNCILMAN BRUESCH

No:
Taylor
Absent:

Abstain:
None
Bruesch, Imperial
The Mayor declared said motion duly carried and so ordered.
Councilman Taylor expressed dissatisfaction with the services
being provided under the current contract and noted that his request
for the penalty structure and fines, had not been included with the
information that had been presented. He requested that the following
be entered into the Minutes verbatim: "The question was as far as the
fines that were levied in there was very specific, but all that's been
removed, and simply stated that in reference to what the State law is
and the gentleman made the comment also, that so they wouldn't have to
go back to the County Board of Supervisors. And, if I'm not mistaken
at the last meeting there was a comment that I believe it's up to
$1,000. So, that's what kind of rubs me the wrong way - that we're
amending it but nobody wants to tell the people that they can be fined
up to $1,000 now for an animal violation; and the $50 fines, they were
taken out. So, that's the comment that I made. They're going up but
nobody's going to tell the public what they are. So, that's what I
was looking for. Put it in there so everybody understands it. They
don't get a fine and go to court and say 'My God, it's $500.' Well,
our fees have gone up; our costs have gone up. I don't like open
ended fines."
