Except for domestic pets and except as otherwise provided in § 6.04.030, the keeping of animals in the city is prohibited.
Special permits for the keeping of other than domestic pets may be granted administratively by the City Administrator on terms and conditions and for periods of time as may be determined by the Administrator. Application for these permits shall be filed with the City Administrator for review and determination. A decision of the Administrator allowing a permit may be appealed to the City Council. The Council may hold a public hearing on the appeal after notice of the hearing is given in the usual manner provided for public hearings.
The city may institute an appropriate court suit to enjoin violations or threatened violations of this chapter, and in that case, shall be entitled to recover from the defendant(s) in the suit its reasonable attorneys’ fees to be fixed by the trial court, and a further sum for attorneys’ fees as may be fixed by the appellate court in case of an appeal.
