The City Clerk shall, in issuing kennel licenses,
obtain a written certification from the Dog Officer that the facilities
and enclosures to be used in maintaining the proposed kennel are adequate
as prescribed by law.
Should the Dog Officer find a kennel licensed
by the City to have facilities and/or conditions existing that do
not meet the prescribed standards for the licensing or maintaining
of a kennel, he shall certify such fact to the City Clerk, in writing,
and said Clerk shall thereupon cause notice to be served on the licensee
or owner of the inadequacies or conditions and order the same to be
remedied within 10 days. Failure to comply with the order by the expiration
of the 10 days specified will operate to revoke the license, and the
owner will then be subject to prosecution under the penalty provisions
of this article.
Operating or maintaining a kennel without a
license and without adequate facilities as prescribed by law is hereby
declared a public nuisance, and each day that such violation continues
shall constitute a separate offense.
