Mayor
Les Smith introduced Troop 180 Boy Scout Leader David Bussinger, saying that

Item 5. on the Agenda. COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE.
Pete Hall, 5621 North Clinton Place, said he was present to ask
that City Council members reconsider a zoning text Ordinance that was addressed
at the December 10, 2007, City Council meeting.
Mr. Hall said he believed this would require a motion from City Council.
Councilman Carol Rudi said she was prepared to make
that motion.
Mayor Smith asked that the motion be made under the
Communications from the City Council agenda item.
Kirk Forslund, 3515 NE 61 Terrace, stated he was present to
request that the Animal Ordinance be changed so that the Bull Terrier breed of
dog is removed. Mr. Forslund provided a
packet of information to City Council members.
Mr. Forslund said he had attended City Council meetings about this
topic, and was following up from the last time he was here, which was last
summer. Mr. Forslund said it was
requested that proof be provided that the Bull Terrier should be removed from
the dangerous dog list. Mr. Forslund
said in July, he and his wife received a letter from David Ramsay (City
Counselor) regarding past conversations and information they had given about
Bull Terriers, and there are a couple of items in the letter from him that need
attention. Mr. Ramsay referenced that
the American Temperament Test Society information reflects that only 68 percent
of Bull Terriers passed the Society's behavioral standards. Mr. Forslund said in the information he
provided, it stated that the Bull Terrier's passing percentage is 91.5
percent. Mr. Forslund said someone may
have looked at the line below that, which is the Bulldog, who has a score of
68.8 percent.
Mr. Forslund said that Mr. Ramsay stated in another
item in the letter that while several people addressed the City Council during
the four or so meetings in which the new Animal Control Ordinance was
discussed, none asked that the Bull Terrier breed be exempted prior to the
enactment of the Ordinance. Mr. Forslund
said he did provide several packets of information to the City Council, and he
did write a letter raising concerns about the Bull Terrier breed being brought
into this legislation. Mr. Forslund said
he sent a letter to several area veterinarians asking for their opinion. Mr. Forslund then read the letter he sent to
each of the veterinarians, and read the letters he received from the
veterinarians. (please see attached).
Mr. Forslund said he had some clarifications one from a website about the American Pit Bull Terrier, and said there is a section called Confusion among Pit Bull Breeds. Taking a sentence from that, it says that adding to the muddle is the fact that many people refer to any dog of these breeds, as well as American Bulldogs and sometimes Bull Terriers as Pit Bulls. There are actually 20+ breeds that can easily be mistaken for a Pit Bull. Mr. Forslund said the next one is from a CNN article, where it says the Pit Bull is not a breed but a type that includes American Pit Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, and Pit Bull mixes, according to the Pit Bull rescue central website. Mr. Forslund said he knew this was a lot of information, and asked if the breed can be removed. Mr. Forslund said he would like to know the opinion of each City Council member based on the information he has provided tonight.
Mayor Pro Tem Mark Revenaugh said he does not feel it is fair to ask City Council members for an opinion, when Mr. Forslund has just provided a mountain of information to read, and he is sure he and his fellow Council members would like to have time to digest the information and give it some thoughtful consideration. Mayor Pro Tem Revenaugh said although he voted against the last Ordinance, he is not prepared to offer an opinion on new information that he has not yet read.
Councilman Carol Rudi said she agreed with Mayor Pro Tem Revenaugh, and she also voted against the Ordinance. We did consult with Animal Control, and they were not particularly in favor of the Ordinance either, but they agreed to include this breed. Councilman Rudi said she would like to see this Ordinance in place for at least one year before Council reconsiders it, to see if it does what it is expected to do. Councilman Rudi said at this time, she would like to leave it as it is, rather than making any changes presently, even with all this information. Councilman Rudi said she has seen a lot of information already, and has looked at it extensively, so a lot of it looks familiar.
Councilman Wayne Beer stated he would concur.
Councilmember Carol Suter said she was not on the
City Council at the time this Ordinance was under discussion, although she
followed the discussion with some interest.
Councilmember Suter said she also would prefer to have time to look at
the information, and seconds Councilman Rudi's opinion that she prefers not to
disturb newly enacted Ordinances or Statutes immediately, but to give them a
little time to see what happens.
Mayor Les Smith said to Mr. Forslund that he was
confident Mr. Forslund knows how he feels, but in fairness to him and all the
work he has done, what he would like to suggest to City Council is that they
give City staff an opportunity to review this information, and come back to
Council with some decision as to whether they wish to change their
recommendation or not. Mayor Smith said
his question to Mr. Forslund is if Staff comes back to Council and they do not
wish to change the recommendation, and what is being heard tonight is that
Council will not go against that recommendation, is that good enough or would
you like for the City to draft an Ordinance amendment and actually vote on it,
to have some finality for your peace of mind?
Mr. Forslund said, yes, he would prefer that if that
is how it all turns out.
Mayor Smith said the direction to Staff is to draft
a revision to the current Ordinance that would incorporate the changes that the
Forslunds are requesting, along with a Staff recommendation on whether or not
we should adopt that amendment.
Councilman Rudi said she would also like some input
from Animal Control, and just revisit the temperament listing and make sure
that information is correct for us.
Mayor Smith said he would hope the Staff
recommendation would include taking this issue back through the whole
process. Mayor Smith said he knows the
Study Session agenda is full for the January 28, 2008, City Council meeting, so
let's schedule this issue on the agenda for the first City Council meeting in
February. Mayor Smith stated that if
Staff has questions to please contact Mr. or Mrs. Forslund.
Mr. Forslund said that Mayor Smith stated that if he could provide proof, they can be removed what exactly does that mean?
Mayor Smith said what he said was irrefutable proof,
and there is no such thing, and even just skimming through some of the
information that Mr. Forslund provided this evening, there are some caveats;
for example when they are raised a certain way, they will generally have a
sunny disposition is stated in one sentence.
Mayor Smith said there may not be irrefutable proof either way for or
against Mr. Forslund's position, but Council members are giving it as much
justice as they can by running it back through City staff, including the Animal
Control division.
Mr. Forslund said one of the frustrating things is
for Mayor Smith to just say there is no such thing as irrefutable proof, but
then to make that request earlier, you are making an impossible request that
you yourself believe is not possible to provide. Mr. Forslund said everything he has given is
fact. They are not animal experts, so he
contacted the veterinarians, and that is what they are saying. Mr. Forsund said he knows that anyone can
make a website and say that Bull Terriers are or are not a Pit Bull, which is
why he has gone to the experts. It is
frustrating when Animal Control is contacted about it and there is conflicting
information where in one letter they say that Bull Terriers shouldn't be
included, and then a meeting is held with his wife, and then the letter that
comes out after that is different from the conversation that was in that
meeting. In that letter it says that
Bull Terriers should stay as a Pit Bull, so this kind of stuff is
confusing. Mr. Forslund said you are
saying you want Animal Control input, then at previous meetings he has heard
that it's your decision ultimately, and then you say you take the consideration
of the Staff, and they are the ones that give you all the information where
does it end?
Mayor Smith stated a good analogy would be an NFL
replay. The decision has been made, and
it is going to take conclusive evidence opposite of that to overturn it. Mayor Smith said it may not be good enough,
but it is probably the best we can do, and that is to ask our professionals,
because they are going to do the research and provide the information. Mayor Smith said City Council members are
taking an extraordinary step in asking City staff to revisit an issue for
probably a second or third time, but he wants to do that out of fairness to Mr.
Forslund and to give him the benefit of the doubt. Mayor Smith said, speaking for himself, what
they come back with is what he is going to hang his hat on, because they are
being paid to do that research. Mayor
Smith said that is as honest as he can be; that is how he will land on this
issue. Mayor Smith said he hopes Mr.
Forslund will respect that City Council is willing to revisit this issue,
reconsider it, and allocate Staff time and resources to do the research. That is not bad.
Mayor Pro Tem Revenaugh stated he does not know what
more can be asked of the City, when right across the street we are trying to
get open a $20 million natatorium in partnership with the
Mr. Forslund said he would like to point out again
that when the animal experts are consulted, they are siding with him, so he is
not just saying this, because he has this breed of dog.
Item 6. on the Agenda. COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE CITY COUNCIL.
Councilmember Carol Suter stated yea,
Councilmember Suter said it is not perfect, so her
second comment is about sidewalks not being shoveled during heavy snow. She is seeing a lot of people walking on the
streets, and where she lives off
Councilmember Suter asked for feedback from Staff
about a construction project on
Councilman Beer said the key is that it is not a
detached structure; it is attached.
Mr. Wingerson said the original house is set back
very far from
Mayor Smith asked if there are any provisions for
compatibility? Mayor Smith said he knows
when at the Staff level a building permit is approved that things might fall
into the technical terms of the code; however, when considering the addition
being discussed and the addition at Apple Tree Apartments of the enclosed
parking, they are both incredibly displeasing aesthetically. We struggle in this community with how we are
going to create the desired affect of new construction. It seems we need to be able to control
that. Whether it meets the code or not,
it is just out of place. It and those
parking garages are going to stand for 50 years, and they are going to be out
of place for 50 years. Mayor Smith said
we require people to meet a certain standard in our City, and we try
desperately to get people to comply with certain standards on an ongoing
basis. These are just two recent
examples of things that are in our control that got through, and it seems
unfortunate. A two-story addition on
that property, regardless of the lot size, is out of place for that
neighborhood. The enclosed parking at
Apple Tree Apartments is not consistent with the storage building that they
previously had on site. Mayor Smith said
he would like to find a way to make something different happen, and out of
place is out of place, and it does not matter if it complies technically or
not, in his opinion.
Councilmember Suter said given the three or four
properties immediately to the east of this are all on the market. It seems much more likely we will receive a
proposal for something other than residential development on those
properties. Having a monstrosity that is
a residence right next to it will certainly encourage that kind of development,
rather than maintaining the residential nature of the street. Councilmember Suter said she would be
concerned if she lived on that street.
Councilman Wayne Beer stated he did not agree.
Councilman Carol Rudi stated she agreed with
Councilman Beer.
Mayor Les Smith stated the article in the Kansas City
Star came out with a bit less zip than we thought it might. There were 19 communities who participated in
a citizen survey, and the Kansas City Star took those 19 cities and
compiled the information and came out with some rankings.
City Manager Davis thanked Mayor Smith and said he
would love to do that.
Mayor Smith said he and City Manager Davis met with the metropolitan area's tallest Mayor, Mayor Funkhouser of Kansas City, who visited to address how well our two cities interact. Mayor Smith said he and City Manager Davis gave Mr. Funkhouser a tour of the Community Center, with which he was very impressed, and they visited about Kansas City's light rail proposal. They had a good discussion regarding the light rail and his plan to how to access the Northland with the light rail. Mayor Smith said the meeting went very well, and he thanked City Manager Davis for participating.
Councilman Carol Rudi moved to reconsider the zoning issue regarding the placement of auto parts stores in a C-1 zoning that was discussed last month. Councilman Rudi said Mr. Pete Hall has requested that City Council reconsider this issue, and Mr. Hall says he has some new information that Council did not have. Councilman Wayne Beer seconded.
Roll Call Vote: All aye Councilmember Carol Suter, Councilman Wayne Beer, Councilman Carol Rudi, Mayor Pro Tem Mark Revenaugh and Mayor Les Smith.
(5-0).
Mayor Smith asked City Counselor David Ramsay to explain the action of Council and what will happen from this point forward.
City Counselor David Ramsay said that because the City Council has voted to reconsider this issue, it will be placed on the next City Council agenda, a public notice will be published that this matter will taken up again by the City Council, and Staff will provide City Council members with some updated information.
Councilman Rudi stated she did ask Mr. Hall if he would consider helping in funding the posting of this, because this is an issue extremely important to the entire community, and he would be amenable to that. Councilman Rudi said she does not know if we have any legalities that would preclude this or not, and asked City Manager Davis to discuss this with Mr. Hall.
City Manager Davis said he would be happy to do so.
Mayor Smith asked if this would reopen the Public Hearing.
City Counselor Ramsay replied in all fairness it should reopen the Public Hearing because some additional information will be presented and that should be in the form of testimony or documentation presented to the Council in a Hearing format, and of course other interested people should be allowed to respond to that information.
