City Council Minutes Page 8 <br />September 17, 2018 <br />----------------------------- <br />at 7:46 p.m. <br /> <br />9.1 Review and Revise Current Dangerous and Potentially Dangerous <br />Dogs City Ordinance <br /> <br /> Chief Nierenhausen presented the staff report. He explained the city’s ordinance is <br />more restrictive about proper enclosures than state statute. He reviewed the proper <br />enclosure requirements outlined in the city code. <br /> <br /> Chief Nierenhausen indicated the city has a current dangerous dog situation and the <br />owner has a wooden fence but according to ordinance the fence would not be <br />considered a proper enclosure for the dangerous dog. He stated city prosecutor <br />Attorney Scott Baumgartner agrees with changes to the ordinance to mirror state <br />statute as it will give the Police Department flexibility to review each case and make <br />sure to provide for citizen safety. <br /> <br /> The Council concurred with the change. Chief Nierenhausen will bring it back for <br />formal approval. <br /> <br />9.2 Saxon Property Concept Review <br /> <br /> Mr. Carlton presented the staff report. <br /> <br /> The Council concurred with the Planning Commission’s comments by not <br />supporting a proposal to establish a mini-storage facility as the FAST study guides <br />the property to high-density residential uses. The Council also expressed interest in <br />the site by utilizing the close proximity to the river and trails. <br /> <br />10. Adjournment <br /> <br />There being no further business, Mayor Dietz adjourned the meeting of the Elk <br />River City Council at 8:03 p.m. <br /> <br />Minutes prepared by Jessica Miller. <br /> <br /> <br />___________________ <br />John J.
