Animal nuisance complaints cannot be anonymous, but will be kept confidential if requested. The complainant must be identified to the reporting officer and must provide a statement of complaint which identifies the offending animal and its owner including dates and times of offenses against the complainant. Upon receipt of such, the Animal Control Officer or law enforcement officer will investigate to determine that a violation of this chapter has occurred. Upon determination of such, the owner of the animal will be instructed to abate the nuisance and will receive either a written warning or ticket, based on the officer’s discretion.
