WVC Citizen Survey

- FYI -
WVC CITIZEN SURVEY

I got this message from Craig Thomas:

Beginning April 20, 2009 Discovery Research will begin conducting a CITY CITIZEN SURVEY on behalf of West Valley City. Approximately 1,000 households will be contacted via telephone and asked to complete a short telephone interview. It is expected that Discovery Research will be able to complete all calls in approximately one week. PLEASE encourage residents to take a few moments to answer this survey if they are contacted. West Valley City Officials and Administration consider the results of this survey very important for future daily and annual strategic planning efforts.

WVC Leash Laws

I had a resident ask me about Leash Laws this past week. It is a sensitive topic for dog owners & neighbors who feel frustrated by dogs roaming. I contacted Craig Thomas, who is my direct link to WVC for these types of questions. He found out the answer from Nate Beckstead with WVC Animal Services.

Nate said the following:
"Our codes require all animals to be under control at all times. So it does not matter the size or breed. The only way I know to have the dog under control is to have it on a leash. Electric collars would not be considered under control."

So, if a dog owner has a dog in their yard, but not on a leash, then it is against city code. If you have a concern, Craig gave this advice, "You can ask him to have an officer go to the home and and help the pet owner understand the code in a casual discussion. Chances are the officer will simply say there has been a request made by a neighbor to ask the pet owner to have the animal on a leash and to clean up after the pet. Names usually remain anonymous because we do not want to create contention in the neighborhoods, but it is always a good idea to specifically ask him to keep names anonymous. I think they are like code enforcement in that if they continue to get complaints, more aggressive reminders are issued."

Here is Nate's information:
