In August Mayor Davis noted that the Town has recently received complaints about dogs that were not on leashes, dogs that have bitten people and dogs that have attempted to bite other dogs, and dogs defecating in the street and on private lawns. Councilmember Kathy Jo Shea observed that this was not just occurring in residential neighborhoods but downtown as well.

The Town, Mayor Davis noted, has both a leash law and a waste clean-up law and asked that the Police Department be more aggressive about enforcing them.

The laws have been posted on the Town's website and advertised in the Town's electronic newsletter.

Mayor Davis also asked that it also be placed in the next bi-monthly newsletter.
