Monday, 07 June, 2010.<\/p>\n<p>The Arnprior Town Council Committee of the Whole okayed a feasibility study to look into the costs and benefits of sending By-Law Enforcement Officers door to door to count dogs and cats and enforce the law requiring pets to be licensed. Of the estimated &#8220;over a thousand&#8221; dogs in town, less than three hundred are currently licensed. The town also has a By-Law limiting the number of dogs and cats to two dogs and two cats per household. The issue was strangely contentious, taking almost half an hour to pass at Monday&#8217;s meeting. Among other questions the feasibility study should look into are &#8220;How long will it take for By Law Enforcement Officers to visit each home and count all the pets?&#8221; and, &#8220;How much will it cost us to pay temporary officers to do this?&#8221; and, &#8220;How much do we stand to gain by forcing compliance with our current by-laws?&#8221; Other issues included, &#8220;Should we have one price if citizens pay for their licenses before March and another price for those who pay after March?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;Jim<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-208\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/aerendel.ca\/IndieNews\/index.php\/2010\/06\/08\/town-council-to-consider-using-by-law-enforcement-officers-door-to-door-to-count-pets\/?share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\"><span>Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-208\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/aerendel.ca\/IndieNews\/index.php\/2010\/06\/08\/town-council-to-consider-using-by-law-enforcement-officers-door-to-door-to-count-pets\/?share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\"><span>Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>-Arnprior, Ontario, Canada.
