6. CONSIDER recommendations of the Animal Services Director to update the current Dog Barking Ordinance to authorize administrative penalties for animal noise violations and to prohibit the harboring of more than four roosters on private property, and DETERMINE action to be taken.
  Steve Burdo presented the staff report.  Supervisor Andersen asked how the proposed ordinance related to the farm animal ordinance currently under development in the Conservation and Development Department.  She commented that, if noise were a concern, it might be preferable to prohibit the harboring of roosters in residential areas altogether.  Mr. Burdo responded that the proposed limit of up to four roosters per household was intended to address concerns about cockfighting as well as noise.

The Committee chose to take no action on the proposed ordinance at this 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.
