Re: [Lockwood] [East-CAC] Loose Dogs

At last check, the City Manager's Office was reviewing (with consultation from animal control officers) the adequacy of the existing code. In particular, evaluating the definition of "adequate enclosures" for animal deemed "dangerous" and whether more detail might be required (i.e., bringing the definition inline with Wake County's). I just sent a followup email to see if there is any progress to report.
