Shoreline City Council Recap for March 2011

Wednesday, April 6, 2011

From the office of the Shoreline City Manager
On March 28, the Council unanimously adopted new animal control regulations. In general, these new regulations do not differ very much from the old regulations, which were the King County Animal Control Regulations adopted by reference. 

However, there are two notable changes. They are the inclusion of a citywide leash law and citywide scoop law. Prior to these new regulations being adopted, residents only had to have their dogs on leash and pick up after their dogs in City Parks. 

Now dogs bust be on leash when not on their owner’s property or in a designated off-leash dog area. Owners must also pick-up after their dogs when not on the owner’s property.  In the coming months, the City will begin a community education campaign on the new regulations.

Below is a recap of the Shorelne City Council’s work for the month of March:
