Council amends dog bylaw Dog owners will be required to clean up after their animals under a "poop and scoop" amendment to the Brussels village dog bylaw to be considered at the January meet- Mg of village council. The poSsibility of such an amendment was raised by Animal Control Officer Bob Trick during his annual report to council at its Dec. 4 meeting. Other municipali- ties have instituted such a bylaw to force dog owners to clean up the mess created by their animals, he said. "We might as well go all the way and put it (the amendment) in," Reeve Gordon Workman said. Another amendment to be con- sidered will give Trick the right to seek OPP assistance to enforce pro- visions of the bylaw if necessary. During one altercation this past year Trick found the police reluc- tant to support him, fearing they were trespassing on private proper- ty. The amendment will remedy the situation. Council will look at an account- ing of the revenues from dog licences versus the animal control costs before setting licence fees for the new year. "As long as we're collecting enough from the dog owners to pay the costs we don't want to penalize them," said Coun- cillor Greg Wilson. Last year, said Donna White, clerk-treasurer, the licence revenue was within a few dollars of paying the costs. Trick said that since some dogs found at large are from the surrounding countryside it isn't unreasonable to ask other taxpayers to pick up some of the animal con- trol costs. Trick reported that he issued 11 warnings last year and picked up 12 dogs. Only one dog was destroyed after being unclaimed.

"I don't think we can change the PUC bills every time there is an apartment empty," Councillor Greg Wilson said.
