regarding service animals on County property.

Ordinance No. 87-73 (Prohibition Against Animals in Public Buildings) was established on September 1, 1987 to
prohibit animals from public buildings except those being used by peace officers or to aid persons with disabilities.

current disability laws and to prohibit certain animals in County facilities in accordance with state and federal law.

Without the amending of the Ordinance the public will continue to bring unauthorized animals into County buildings,
including snakes, uncaged birds, as well as aggressive and out-of-control dogs.
