The proposed ordinance would limit a household to having three cats or dogs without a kennel license. People who own more than three cats or dogs would also have to live in specially zoned areas.
On August 13, the council voted 4-3 to approve the second reading of the ordinance. Council members Nick Taiber, Mare Madsen Schmidt and Frank Darrah voted against the ordinance. Darrah had voted yes on the measure's first reading, but changed his vote after he said he received letters and emails from constituents.
