Member Fischbach asked for clarification if the leash law had been settled at the November Code Enforcement Advisory Committee Meeting. Member Stankorb made note to bring this up again, as there was some dissatisfaction and lack of consensus in not pursuing a leash law. Member Stankorb stated that a leash PAGE 1 ,/ • • • law wouldn't help in doing what's already being done without a leash law. Member Fischbach agreed with Member Stankorb's statement, but added that there are still too many dogs wandering the streets and in the greenbelts without leashes. Member Fischbach feels that a leash law is necessary, as we have cities all around us with leash laws, and why would we object to one? Member Fischbach would like to pursue the leash law. Member Hansen shared her experience of being confronted by large dogs on the street , and Member Fischbach suggested that the Postmaster come to a CEAC meeting and give statistics on loose dogs. Member Stankorb stated he felt the presentation done by the Code Enforcement people was a little stronger than what needed to be. Member Stankorb stated since there are only two voting members left on the committee, that this leash law decision should be put on hold until there are more committee members present. Member Fischbach agreed, and felt whatever the majority vote is, then that's what the CEAC committee can support and pursue. Member Stankorb wanted to bring up the leash law again, as he felt that some members weren't happy with the outcome. Assistant City Manager Mike Flaherty stated that the Code Enforcement presentation given was a staff perspective only. Flaherty went on to say that proposing a leash law is a policy decision for the city council to make. There was further discussion to propose a leash law for Englewood, which Flaherty explained again the process to take with city council. Member Stankorb suggested that the leash law be put on March's agenda for old business, when there will be more voting members present. b. DMG Maximus Report. Mike Flaherty explained that Steve Fisher with DMG Maximus has completed phase II of the study done on the Code Enforcement Division for Englewood. Flaherty briefly discussed what the study entailed, and will be inviting Fisher to come to the March meeting and explain it. c. Graffiti Flyer. Member Fischbach questioned what the graffiti flyers are to be used for. 400 copies were distributed to Officer Nancy Peterson for the Neighborhood Watch Program, and 100 copies were given to Member Stankorb for the CEAC members at the direction of former Chair Allen .
