(A) Requirements. If the City Council does not order the destruction of an animal that has been declared dangerous, the City Council may, as an alternative, order any or all of the following:
(1) That the owner provides and maintain a proper enclosure for the dangerous animal as specified in § 92.13(B);
(2) Post the front and the rear of the premises with clearly visible warning signs, including a warning symbol to inform children, that there is a dangerous animal on the property as specified in M.S. §§ 347.50 to 347.56, as it may be amended from time to time;
(3) Provide and show proof annually of public liability insurance in the minimum amount of $300,000;
(4) If the animal is a dog and is outside the proper enclosure, the dog must be muzzled and restrained by a substantial chain or restraint (not to exceed six feet in length) and under the physical restraint of a person 18 years of age or older. The muzzle must be of such design as to prevent the dog from biting any person or animal, but will not cause injury to the dog or interfere with its vision or respiration; and
(5) The owner must annually license dangerous and potentially dangerous dogs with the city and must license a newly declared dangerous or potentially dangerous dog within 14 days after notice that a dog has been declared dangerous or potentially dangerous. Regardless of any appeal that may be requested, the owner must comply with the requirements of M.S. § 347.52(a) and (c), as it may be amended from time to time regarding proper enclosures and notification to the city upon transfer or death of the dog, until and unless a hearing officer or court of law reverses the declaration.
(6) Any or all additional requirements permitted under M.S. § 347.50 to 347.56, as it may be amended from time to time.
(B) Seizure. The Enforcement Officer shall immediately seize any dangerous animal if the owner does not meet any of the above requirements imposed by the City Council within 14 days after the date notice is sent to the owner that the animal is dangerous.
(C) Reclaiming dangerous animals. A dangerous animal seized under division (B), above, may be reclaimed by the owner of the animal upon payment of impounding and boarding fees, and presenting proof to Enforcement Officer that each of the requirements under division (A), above, is fulfilled. An animal not reclaimed under this section within 14 days may be disposed of as provided under § 92.06 and the owner is liable to the city for all costs incurred in confining the animal and having the animal destroyed including, but not limited to, reimbursement of all of the city's legal fees and court costs.
(D) Subsequent offenses. If an owner of an animal has subsequently violated the provisions under § 92.14 with the same animal, the animal must be seized by the Enforcement Officer. The owner may request a hearing as provided for in § 92.14. If the owner is found to have violated the provisions for which the animal was seized, the Enforcement Officer shall order the animal destroyed in a proper and humane manner and the owner shall pay the costs of confining, impounding and destroying the animal. If the person is found not to have violated the provisions for which the animal was seized, the owner may reclaim the animal under the provisions of § 92.15(C). If the animal is not yet reclaimed by the owner within 14 days after the date the owner is notified that the animal may be reclaimed, the animal may be disposed of as provided under § 92.06 and the owner is liable to the animal control for the costs incurred in confining, impounding and destroying of the animal.
