Report #46 ..• Mayor's Report~ Various Matters
Councillor Tonner in the Chair.
Last Friday afternoon, I met with Mr. Art Moorcroft of Kennel Inn. We
discussed the problem of animal control within the Town of Aurora and the
following steps have been taken so that our animal control may be more effective.
(a) The staggering of hours and patrolling at night will commence, including
weekend patrols.
(b) All dogs caught at large will be impounded at Kennel Inn pursuant to
By-Law No. 1923-71.
(c) Animal control violation tickets will be picked up by Kennel Inn personnel
to be checked for payment of fines rather than the present method of town
staff advising Kennel Inn staff each time such tickets are paid. This
pick-up of tickets will occur on a regular basis and will function in a
method similar to that used by the York Regional Police Department in
checking the payment of parking violation tickets.
