COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
This proposed bill for an ordinance creates a new Chapter 26 (Hobby Breeders) in Title 5 of the City
Code. This license previously existed in Title 7 of the Code. This license was established as a result
of concerns regarding the health and safety of the citizens and animals in the City of Englewood.
City Council discussed this license with staff at the study session held on August 4, 1997.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends City Council approve this bill for an ordil')ance.

in Title 5.
