A. Applications for a facilities license shall be made upon forms furnished by animal control including all information required therein and shall be accompanied by payment of the required fee.
B. An initial facilities license shall expire one year from the date of application. Applications for renewal must be made within the month prior to expiration of the facilities license. All renewals will refer back to the original date of expiration. Late renewals will be subject to a late renewal fee.
C. During the initial year of the ordinance codified in this chapter, persons filing application and paying the required fee for such license shall be issued a receipt by the manager which shall constitute preliminary approval to operate such facility, subject to inspection of the facility by the manager or the manager’s designee, and final approval for operation.
D. The manager of animal control, together with the animal control advisory board, shall promulgate regulations for the issuance of facility licenses which shall include requirements for humane care of all animals and for compliance with the provisions of this chapter and other applicable laws. A copy of these regulations will be on file at the animal control shelter and the city clerk’s office. The manager of animal control may amend such regulations from time to time as deemed necessary.
E. The manager, or the manager’s designee, shall inspect any facility for which licensing is sought and, upon determination that the facility and operation complies with all regulations, applicable provisions of this chapter and other applicable laws, the manager shall issue final approval.
F. If the manager fails to approve or deny the application within sixty days of its receipt and payment of fees, the application shall be deemed approved for the current year and shall thereafter be subject only to revocation as provided in Section 6.04.060 of this chapter.
1. A license shall be conspicuously displayed on the facility premises, and a holder of a license shall keep available for inspection by the manager, or the manager’s designee, a record of the name, address and telephone number of the owner of each animal kept at the facility, the date each animal was received, the purpose therefor, the name and address of the person from whom the animal was purchased or received, a description of each animal including age, breed, sex, color, and the animal’s veterinarian, if known.
2. Holders of livestock facility permits shall display such signs as may be required by the manager at a location near the entry to such facility describing the number and species of livestock on the premises and the identity of and contact information for any person responsible for such livestock.
