Body
DRAFTER’S ANALYSIS: In 2007 the Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) was adopted which further provided for the unification of the City and County Health Departments. The various ordinance changes listed below are presented so that there is uniformity between the IGA that was previously adopted and the MGO’s. Section 7.03 is repealed and created to establish a Definition Section to insure that the language found throughout Chapter 7 is in conformity with the language found within the IGA. Section 7.04 is repealed and created to establish an appeal process for abatement orders issued by Humane Officers under Wis. Stat. § 73.11. This ordinance is required under the statute section. Section 7.05 is amended so that the Director of Public Health can designate an individual to handle violations of this Section. Section 7.29 is amended so that a humane officer is permitted to inspect premises and determine if a violation of this section has occurred.
