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:
(A) That the owner provide and maintain a proper enclosure for the dangerous animal as specified in § 93.50;
(B) 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;
(C) Provide and show proof annually of public liability insurance in the minimum amount of $300,000;
(D) 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 feet in length) and under the physical restraint of a person 16 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;
(E) If the animal is a dog, it must have an easily identifiable, standardized tag identifying the dog as dangerous affixed to its collar at all times as specified in M.S. § 347.51, as it may be amended from time to time;
(F) All animals deemed dangerous by the Police Department shall be registered with Otter Tail County within 14 days after the date the animal was so deemed and provide satisfactory proof thereof to the Police Department;
(G) If the animal is a dog, the dog must be licensed and up to date on rabies vaccination. If the animal is a cat or ferret, it must be up to date with rabies vaccination.
