THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT.

WE'RE GONNA MOVE TO ITEM

[5. PUBLIC COMMENTS]

MADAM SECRETARY, DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS? YES, SIR.

MR. MAYOR, WE DOOM.

GO AHEAD.

SEAN SHA, AS YOU'RE APPROACHED TO PODIUM, WILL YOU PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS? YES.

FOR THE RECORD.

AND ALSO PLEASE ADHERE TO THE THREE MINUTE TIME LIMIT.

ALSO, PLEASE RECOGNIZE THAT THE MARON CITY COUNCIL CANNOT RESPOND TO YOUR COMMENTS AT THIS TIME.

RIGHT.

GOOD EVENING.

MY NAME IS SEAN SHAY.

I LIVE AT 28 19 BROADMORE CIRCLE HERE IN, UH, MISSOURI CITY.

I SPOKE OF THE 20, UH, FEBRUARY 20TH MEETING ABOUT ISSUES WE WERE HAVING WITH A GOLF COURSE.

MAGICALLY, I WAS LEFT OFF THE MINUTES IN ADDRESSING YOU ON, ON THE ONLINE, OR YOU CAN CHECK.

I'M HERE TO BRING UP, BRING THE ISSUE TO YOUR ATTENTION AGAIN, AS NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE.

UH, THE SHELLING OF GOLF BALLS CONTINUES AT OUR HOME.

DAMAGES CONTINUE TO GROW.

AT THIS POINT, I WOULD LIKE A PLAN OF ACTION TO BE DRAWN UP IN 30 DAYS BY THE CITY WITH THE PLAN AND HAVE A COPY OF THAT PLAN MAILED TO ME.

IN 45 DAYS.

I WOULD LIKE THE PLAN TO BE PUT INTO ACTION.

IF THIS WAS HAPPENING INTO ANY OF YOUR HOMES, I'M SURE THE ISSUE WOULD NOT TAKE A BACKSEAT.

WHETHER IT'S NEW NETTING INSTALLED, RANGE RESTRICTED GOLF BALLS THAT LIMIT THE RANGE OF THE BALLS CAN GO IS FINE.

PLEASE ADDRESS THE ISSUE AS IT NOT ONLY AFFECTS ME, BUT NEARBY NEIGHBORS WHO ARE TOO NOT CONFRONTATIONAL TO SAY ANYTHING.

THE SECOND ISSUE I HAVE, I WOULD LIKE THE CITY TO EITHER MAKE ADDITIONS TO THE DANGEROUS DOG DEFINITION AND CLASSIFICATION, OR CREATE A SEPARATE ONE FOR VICIOUS.

THE CURRENT DANGEROUS DOG ORDINANCE ONLY INCLUDES AN ATTACK ON A PERSON, NOT ON ANOTHER ANIMAL.

RECENTLY I WAS MADE AWARE OF A DOG ATTACKING ANOTHER DOG, KILLING IT IN FRONT OF THE OWNER.

AS CURRENTLY WRITTEN, IT'S IF SOMEONE'S DOG GETS LOOSE AND SERIOUSLY INJURES OR KILLS ANOTHER DOG, THE ONLY PENALTY IS A CITATION FOR RUNNING AT LARGE, AND THE REST IS A CIVIL MATTER.

BY ADDING THE SERIOUS INJURY TO OR DEATH OF ANOTHER ANIMAL, IT GIVES THE CITY AND THE OWNER OF THE VICTIM DOG LEGAL RECOURSE.

AS WRITTEN, THE CURRENT DANGEROUS DOG ORDINANCE IS A CAUTIONARY TALE.

MY EXAMPLE, A DOG GETS OUT AND KILLS ANOTHER DOG.

OWNER IS GIVEN A CITATION FOR RUNNING AT LARGE, AND THE OWNER OF THE VICTIM DOG TAKES THE ATTACKING DOG OWNER TO COURT CIVILLY.

TWO WEEKS LATER, THE SAME DOG ESCAPES AND ATTACKS ANOTHER DOG BEING WALKED BY A PERSON, AS MOST O OWNERS WOULD DO, THE DOG WALKING OWNER TRIES TO INTERVENE AND IS INJURED BADLY, POSSIBLY EVEN KILLED BY THE ATTACKING DOG.

NOW, THE DOG CAN BE DECLARED DANGEROUS, BUT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED.

THIS IS THE SE THIS IS THE SECOND OR SUBSEQUENT ATTACK BY THIS DOG.

AND BECAUSE HE ONLY ATTACKED A DOG BEFORE, THERE IS NO RESTRICTIONS ON THE DOG.

IF AN ATTACK LEADING TO SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH ON A DOG WAS ADDED TO THE ORDINANCE, THE OWNER OF THE VICTIM DOG OR THE ANIMAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT COULD PETITION THE COURT FOR A DANGEROUS DOG HEARING WITHIN 10 DAYS.

AND THE SECOND OR SUBSEQUENT INCIDENTS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED.

THE ORDINANCE ALSO MENTIONS A VICIOUS DOG MIXED IN WITH DANGEROUS DOG.

THERE IS NO DEFINITION OF VICIOUS IN THE ORDINANCE OR EXPLANATION OF WHAT OR WHO DEFINES IT.

MR. SHAY, THAT IS TIME.

THANK YOU.

WHO DO WE HAVE, WHO WE HAVE? MR. MAYOR.

THAT DOES CONCLUDE THE PUBLIC COMMENTS.

OKAY.

ALRIGHT.

THANK YOU.
