<br />REQUIRED LIABILITY INSURANCE AMOUNT; CONTAINING A SAVINGS <br /> <br />CLAUSE AND PROVIDING A PENALTY. <br /> <br />Mr. Price said that the police report showed that the pit bull dog bites were 8 out of <br />12 dog bites reported. He said that these dogs are used by the drug dealers. <br /> <br />CITIZEN COMMENTS <br />Christine Lewis, 830 Westrun Dr. <br />Ms. Lewis showed pictures of her family’s pit bull dogs with her children. She said it is <br />unfair to single out of this breed from other large breeds that can also be trained to be <br />aggressive. <br /> <br />Elizabeth Wainwright, 7204 Dartmouth <br />Ms. Wainwright who works professionally with all breeds of dogs said she has several <br />concerns about this bill. A pit bull is not the most dangerous dog out there now. There are <br />other dangerous breeds weighing 200 or more pounds. She would prefer that the Council <br />establish an ordinance that addresses the type of behavior instead of outlawing one breed <br />of dogs. She has seen that the drug dealers are no longer using pit bull dogs for <br />protection in their sales but are using instead much larger breeds now. <br /> <br />Mr. Price said that he would like to see a bill passed dealing with dangerous animals. <br /> <br />Ms. Ricci said that Ms. Wainwright has supplied her with other cities’ excellent legislation <br />dealing with dangerous animals and would review them for presentation and discussion in <br />a future study session. <br /> <br />CITIZEN COMMENTS ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS <br />Tracy Norfleet, M.D., 1110 E.
