CITY REFINES DANGEROUS DOG ORDINANCE 

July 22, 2020 

The Cedar Key City Commission met Tuesday, July 21, 2020, at 6 pm in City Hall.  They discussed Ordinance 537.

The First Reading of Ordinance 537 changed the language from “Has more than once severely injured or killed a domestic animal…." to “Has aggressively bitten, attacked, endangered, severely injured or killed a domestic animal….”   The “more than once” is eliminated. 

The First Reading also included a seven-day period in which the offending animal would remain on the island during an appeal period. 
 
 
 Commissioners directed Attorney Fugate to further amend the ordinance to require that the dangerous animal be immediately removed from the island.
