(A) Requirements. If the court or Police Chief does not order the destruction of an animal that has been declared dangerous, the court, or Police Chief shall, as an alternative, order any or all of the following, excepting for dogs, in which case all shall be applicable and which will be reviewed on an annual basis by the Police Chief. If, in reviewing the conditions for keeping a dangerous dog there have been no ordinance violations for a period of two (2) years, the Police Chief may use discretion in determining whether the conditions set forth below are still required:
(1) That the owner provides and maintains a proper enclosure for the dangerous animal. The enclosure shall be a securely confined indoor area which prevents escape and provides protection from the elements;
(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. § 347.51, as it may be amended from time to time;
(3) Provides and shows proof annually of public liability insurance paid in full in the minimum amount of three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000). The owner shall have fifteen (15) regular business days from the request to show proof of insurance, except that if the animal is impounded, proof of insurance must be demonstrated prior to the animal's release;
(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 leash (not to exceed six (6) feet in length) and under the physical restraint of a person eighteen (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;
(5) If the animal is a dog, it must have an easily identifiable, standardized tag identifying the dog as dangerous affixed to the dog's collar at all times as specified in M.S. § 347.51, as it may be amended from time to time;
(6) Provides and shows proof of microchip identification;
(7) All animals deemed dangerous by the Police Chief shall be registered with the city within fourteen (14) regular business days after the date the animal was so deemed and provide satisfactory proof thereof to the Police Chief; and
(8) If the animal is a dog or cat, the animal must be up to date on rabies vaccination.
(B) Seizure. The Police Department shall immediately seize any dangerous animal if the owner does not meet each of the above requirements within fourteen (14) calendar days after the date notice is sent to the owner that the animal is dangerous and no appeal has been filed.
(C) Reclaiming animals. A dangerous animal seized under division (B) may be reclaimed by the owner of the animal upon payment of impounding and boarding fees, and presenting proof to the Police Chief that each of the requirements under division (A) is fulfilled. An animal not reclaimed under this section within fourteen (14) calendar days may be disposed of as provided under § 90.03, and the owner is liable to animal control for costs incurred in confining the animal.
(D) Subsequent offenses. If an owner of an animal which has been declared dangerous and is subject to the conditions of this section has allegedly failed to comply with the conditions, the animal must be seized by the Police Department. Notice shall be provided to the owner of the basis for the seizure and the right to request a hearing before the Hearing Officer to determine whether the conditions were violated. A request for hearing must be made within ten (10) regular business days of the seizure. If the owner fails to request a hearing within said time period, or is found to have violated the conditions, the Hearing Officer shall order the animal destroyed in a proper and humane manner and the owner shall pay the costs of confining the animal. If the owner is found not to have violated the conditions, the owner may reclaim the animal under the provisions of division (C).
(E) Registration fee. An owner of an animal that has been declared dangerous shall pay an annual registration fee in an amount set by the City Council from time to time. If the animal has been impounded, the fee shall be paid prior to the animal's release.
