Hi Everyone,

I want to make a contribution to our community and want a leash law out where I live.

I just got an e-mail from the County Commissioners Office. They will be sending me a time to go to a meeting &camp; (I don't know what &camp; means yet) and speak during the public comments section. They think that if I do this, I will be on the next ordinance agenda. YEAH! I don't know what ordinance agenda is yet, but I'll learn.

At least something is occupying my thoughts from this recent event.

Janie

The idea is to die young as late as possible.

Good for you!!! I hope you get the leash law passed. Your neighbors are irresponsible and probably won't leash their dogs, but maybe a few hefty fines and they will get the message. :)

Janie, the ordinance agenda is the list of ordinances on which the governing body will vote. There are two different kinds. One is called a "consent agenda" when all the ordinances are voted on at the same time, usually an "all in favor" & an "all opposed" type vote. A "regular agenda" has ordinances that are voted on one by one & are usually voted on with a roll call (meaning each commissioner will vote yea or nay individually on each ordinance instead of all at once).

Really both have the same end result. I emailed you a sample ordinance so the only work your govmt officials will have to do is actually vote on it. ;-)

And let me just say again kudos to you for taking the bull by the horns & shaking it. :) I deal w/so many residents who do nothing but complain yet aren't willing to take any action or responsibility. I wish I had more people like you living in my town!
 
Laura,

The next meeting will be next Tuesday, and I will have in hand the ordinance to hand to them.

Very excited about this, and a breath of fresh air, instead of ranting and raving about our neighbors, I'll be doing something about it. A great feeling indeed.

I'm so glad I know you,

Janie
