Background:
Currently, Section 5-6 of the Broken Arrow Municipal Code of Ordinances requires a pet license fee to be paid annually. This ordinance allows Staff to waive this fee if the owner can provide documentation of training of dog for intender service, or the applicant will sign an affidavit indicating that the dog has been trained for the intended service. Staff has been approached by citizens expressing concerns associated with these requirements. While the City may legally require such proof t, it is recommended that the ordinance be amended to waive the fee for service animals without required documentation.
