Proposed Ordinance Amending Title 9, "Animals"
City Attorney Pearsall presented the background information. This proposed Ordinance would re- organize and
adjust Title 9 of our City code to allow for transition of animal services from King County to the City of Federal
Way. The contract with King County has been terminated effective June 30, 2010. Ms. Pearsall reviewed some of
the changes. Those changes include consolidation of chapters, Animal Control has been changed to Animal
Services, the Director has been re- defined to be the Chief of Police, the authority has been updated to the Police
Departments Animal Services unit, and the definition of an adult cat has been changed from 6 months to 2l weeks.
All references to the County were also removed. A more substantive change was streamlining the process for
obtaining pet licenses. The licensing requirements will also include pet daycares. A discussion was held on the
term of cat and dog licenses. Originally licenses were going to be valid from January to January, but after a lot of
discussion, it was decided that the licenses will be valid for a term of one year from the date of issuance. The city
will be able to start collecting license fees in July. Seattle -King County Department of Public Health has taken
over issuing permits to kennels, pet shops, pet day cares, and shelters, and permits will need to be obtained from
them. Ms. Pearsall stated that no substantive changes were made to Title 9; the goal was to facilitate the transition
of services. Council member Park stated that citizens have been concerned about the City using the Tacoma
shelter; he would like to know if we are addressing this issue. City Manager /Police Chief Wilson stated that the
City is very confident in the Tacoma shelter, and the services that they provide, and that he is concerned about the
services that are provided in King County. City Manager /Police Chief Wilson also stated that they are listening to
the citizens concerns and are responding back to them. Council member Park stated that we need to let the citizens
know that we are going to maintain a quality level of service. Commander McAllister stated that they are going to
start an education program in mid -June that will run until July 1. Council member Burbidge reviewed suggestions
that were given to her from Council member Dovey. Additional changes to FWRC 9.09.010 and FWRC 9.18.100
are 1) add the definition of ` to make it clear that "altered, `spayed" and neutered are used
interchangeably, 2) include permanently disabled as eligible for special permanent licenses, 3) clarify that no new
license is needed prior to expiration, 4) remove "temporarily' and replace with less than six months, 5) add pet
daycare to list of exceptions, 6) renumber (a) -(m). Council member Park moved to approve the proposed
ordinance as amended Title 9, "Animals," to the May t8` City Council meeting for First Reading.
