The City Council may designate and establish by resolution a suitable area to be an animal pound. All dogs and cats shall be kept according to state laws. Any person, owner or otherwise, claiming an animal must pay an impound fee to the Police Department before an "Authorization for Release" form will be issued. The owner of any impounded animal shall present the "Authorization for Release" form to the animal pound authorizing said animal to be released. In addition, the owner shall likewise pay the animal pound any impoundment fees, board fees, and cost of destruction if the animal is destroyed without being reclaimed by such owner.
