THE BEST TIME TO BE HEARD IS NOW.
THE RESULTS WILL BE PRESENTED AT A MEETING HAPPENING MID to LATE MARCH TO DISCUSS SPECIFIC TERMS OF THE NEW NUISANCE BARKING LAW BEING DRAFTED.
1. The application deadline is near in the long process of hiring of a new Animal Control Director. The final stages of enactment of the new Nuisance Barking Law is waiting for this hiring to involve the new director.
2. In the meantime, I'm beyond thrilled that my suggestions have been accepted to propose to the supervisors to enact a ticketing system and hire an enforcement officer to deal only with barking complaints.
3. Both the Public Health Director and I have been researching and comparing successful ticketing systems in other cities thanks also to a suggestion from another Wacco member. These efforts are making a difference.
I have been invited to have a private meeting with Public Health Director Ellen Bauer and the interim Animal Control Director Brian Whipple to discuss all the factors, research and what the terms of the new law should be.
The previous Survey I tried as a post here was very cumbersome and inefficient, plus I was contacted by proxy on behalf of non-wacco members interested in replying who didn't have access here.
Please use this updated questionaire instead which is available to anyone online. I have also submitted an open-mic article to the Bohemian and this survey link to them and other Sonoma County community newspapers.
