The City recently reviewed and amended its regulations relating to  the prohibition of cruelty to animals (tethering ordinance).  Included in the new regulations is a change in the time period during which an animal may be tethered. The new times are from 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM for a 30-minute period. Tethering is not permitted between 11:00 PM and 7:00 AM. 

For other changes please review Section 5-7 (5)(a) of the tethering ordinance.
