On December 6, 2016, the Board of Supervisors referred to the Internal Operations Committee development of an ordinance to authorize administrative penalties for barking dogs and other noisy animals, and to limit the number of roosters on private property in the county unincorporated areas.
The IOC reviewed the draft ordinance at its March 13 meeting and chose to take no action on the proposed ordinance at that time but directed ASD staff to consult with DCD staff regarding consistency with the farm animal ordinance currently under development, and report back to the IOC in April. Supervisor Andersen indicated a willingness to bifurcate the proposed ASD ordinance if the rooster issue was not resolved in April, to permit the barking dog portion of the ordinance to advance to the Board.
