<br />MEETING DATE: October 23, 2006 <br /> <br />AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Ordinance – Pit bulls <br /> <br />AGENDA SECTION: NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br />CAN THIS ITEM BE RESCHEDULED? : No <br /> <br />BACKGROUND REVIEW: The attached Pit Bull Ordinance will raise the insurance premium required for pet <br />owners from $100,000 to $500,000. Of the previously registered six pit bulls, we now have one registered and <br />several under investigation. A quick survey of two insurance companies indicated the financial impact of the <br />increased premium indicated an annual increase $25 with State Farm and $40 with All State. I requested a list of <br />registered dogs in University City from St. Louis County to investigate if there registered with the County and not <br />the City. Councilmember Price requested this ordinance amendment in conjunction with the review of the <br />dangerous animal ordinance. Staff will meet in the coming weeks to prepare for the study session discussion in <br /> <br />November. <br /> <br /> <br />
