Other news you should know about this week:

• The hobby breeder ordinance is up for a vote: A proposed ordinance would allow residents to breed small numbers of animals without getting a commercial kennel license. Right now, the city ordinance requires those who breed animals for sale in most cases to obtain a kennel license. However, the proposed ordinance would only require hobby breeders to get a multiple animal permit. Hobby breeders could breed no more than two litters per year. They could have up to six animals over 6 months old of the species being bred—but no more than eight animals total. City Council members will vote at their meeting at 6:30 p.m. Monday.
