Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Brit Fontenot, Assistant to the City Manager
SUBJECT: Provisional adoption of Ordinance 1754, revision to Bozeman Municipal Code
(BMC) 6.04.050, Kennel Licensing Requirements.
MEETING DATE: January 12, 2009
_____________________________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATION:
Conduct a public hearing and suggest changes to Ordinance 1754. Consider a
motion provisionally adopting Ordinance 1754, including Commission amendments
and conditions, and direct staff to return to the Commission for the second reading of
Ordinance 1754 on January 26, 2009.
BACKGROUND:
The Commission directed staff to revise BMC 6.04.050, Kennel Licensing
Requirements, and reassign licensing approval, denial and revocation authority to
appropriate City staff and establish an appeal process whereby the City Commission
exercises authority to hear and decide kennel license approval, denial and revocation
appeals.
Upon review, it was determined that in addition to the changes directed by the
Commission, several important modifications could be inserted to improve BMC 6.04.050.
Suggestions were compiled from a number of City departments, divisions and the public.
Contributors include the Bozeman Police Department, Animal Control Division, Finance
Department, Legal Department, the City Manager’s office and an InterNeighborhood
Council representative.

In summary, recommended revisions include:
1) Establishment of Commission intent.
The existing ordinance does not articulate the intent of the Commission. Revisions include the
following recital:
“WHEREAS, it is the intent of the City Commission to provide for and
protect the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Bozeman, promote
residential harmony and ensure the well-being of properly licensed cats and
dogs through efficient and expedient mechanisms by which cat and dog
kennel licenses may be reviewed, granted or revoked.”
2) Clarification of the number and type of animals required to trigger the necessity for a kennel
license, BMC 6.04.050 A.
The current language regarding the number of cats and dogs an owner must board to trigger the
need for a kennel license is unclear. “More than two dogs or cats” could be interpreted to mean cats
and dogs in combination and equaling more than two and perhaps up to four animals, would trigger
the need for kennel license. Based on current practice, this is not the policy. The intent is further
refined by restating the former as “more than two each of cats or dogs” thus clarifying that two cats or
two dogs boarded at the same residence would not necessitate a kennel license but the addition of a
third of either animal shall force that consequence.
Ordinance 1754, 6.04.050 A:
“It is unlawful for any person, group of persons in the same dwelling, or
family, to keep, harbor, maintain or knowingly permit within the City of
Bozeman (the City) more than two dogs or cats more than two each of cats or
dogs, over six months of age, without first having obtained a kennel license
from the City as herein provided.”

3) Redefinition of the approval process and approval authority BMC 6.040.50 B 1.
The Commission directed staff to amend the existing code section to redirect approval authority
from the City Commission to appropriate City staff. The revisions below provide the Director of
Public Safety - Police, or its designee [Animal Control Officer], the authority to review, approve, deny
or revoke a kennel license and removes the call for a public hearing. This revision provides for an
administrative review process and empowers City staff to determine whether or not a kennel license is
appropriate under the Applicant’s specific circumstances and with consideration of comments and
perspectives from neighboring residents.
Ordinance 1754, 6.04.050 B 1:
“New kennel licenses shall only be issued after a hearing the Director of
Public Safety - Police, or its designee, after appropriate inspection of the
applicant’s proposed kennel and other appropriate investigation, City
Commission approves the application.”
4) Redefinition of noticing requirements and process for kennel license applications and appeals,
BMC 6.04.050 B 3 and 6.04.050 F 2, respectively.
In an effort to promote residential harmony, written notice of kennel license applications and
appeals must be provided to residents within 200 feet of the proposed kennel within two weeks of
filing an application or appeal. Proof of mailing must be provided in the form of a signed affidavit of
mailing of notices to adjoiners, or compliance certificate. A signature on a Certificate of Property
Adjoiners List will ensure that all residents within the 200 foot radius of the applicant will be properly
noticed. It will be the applicant’s responsibility to compile a complete adjoiners list.
Notice should also be provided to the property owner if the property where a kennel is proposed is
not owned by the applicant. Finally, the City Liaison should get a copy of the notice and will
communicate the information to recognized neighborhood representatives, as appropriate. The City
will provide applicants and appellants with a standardized notice form, which can be customized with
the appropriate information for an applicant or appellant. The City will also provide all other
associated forms including certificates and affidavits. Failure to comply with noticing requirements
constitutes cause for denial of a kennel license application.

Ordinance 1754, 6.04.050 B 3:
“In addition, written notice of a pending kennel license application the
hearing shall be provided by the applicant to all owners of real property
within two hundred feet of the site in question, including the property owner
if the site in question is not owned by the applicant, not more than 30 days
nor less than within fifteen (15) days of the application date and prior to the
scheduled hearing and final application approval by the Director of Public
Safety - Police, or its designee. specifying the date, time and place for said
approvals. It The notice(s), on forms provided by the city, shall specify the
name and address of the applicant, the name and address of the owner of
record of the property, a brief statement of the nature of the hearing kennel
license application, including the number and type of cats or dogs proposed in
the application and approvals, and a reference to the procedures described
herein. Additionally, the Applicant shall provide notice to the City Liaison:
staff liaison to the InterNeighborhood Council and neighborhood
associations. Applicant’s failure to properly complete and deliver all notice
forms may constitute cause to deny the application or revoke the kennel
license.”
Ordinance 1754, 6.04.050 F 2:
“Written notice of an appeal of a kennel license application approval or
denial or existing kennel license revocation or reinstatement, including
specific provision(s) of the decision(s) being appealed and the date, time and
location of the subsequent City Commission appeal hearing, shall be
provided by the applicant, to all owners of real property within two hundred
feet of the site in question, including the property owner if the site in question
is not owned by the applicant, within fifteen (15) days past the appeal
submittal date and at least fifteen (15) days prior to the scheduled hearing.
Additionally, the Applicant shall provide notice of appeal to the City Liaison:
staff liaison to the InterNeighborhood Council and neighborhood
associations. Applicant’s failure to properly complete and deliver all appeal
notice forms may constitute cause to deny the appeal.”

5) Addition of one finding of fact, BMC 6.04.050 B 4 (a).
As a matter of public health, safety and welfare, the inclusion of a finding of fact to the ordinance
concerning licensure of all animals listed on a kennel license application, reinforces the importance of
registering all cats and dogs with the City and will thus compel the Director of Public Safety - Police,
or its designee, to require licensure as a condition of approval. Additionally, this condition aids the City
in ensuring the well-being of properly licensed cats and dogs.
Ordinance 1754, BMC 6.04.050 B 4 (a):
“4. The City Commission Director of Public Safety - Police, or its
designee, in for approving a kennel license, shall find as follows:
(a) That all animals listed on the kennel license application
possess current City of Bozeman pet licenses;”
6) Addition of a mitigation process, BMC 6.04050 D.
The language in this section allows a kennel license holder, at the discretion of the Director of
Public Safety – Police, or its designee, an opportunity to mitigate any deficiencies found to exist on the
property where a kennel is licensed. This provision also aids in ensuring the well-being of properly
licensed cats and dogs.
Ordinance 1754, BMC 6.04050 D:
“The licensee may, at the discretion of the Director of Public Safety – Police,
or its designee, be provided up to fifteen (15) days to mitigate an offending
condition and thus have the license reinstated. Reinstatement findings by the
Director of Public Safety – Police, or its designee, shall be made only after
conduction of a subsequent site inspection and report stating that each
offending condition of the kennel in question was satisfactorily corrected and
the kennel complies with conditions set forth in this chapter.”
166

7) Creation of an a kennel license approval, denial and revocation appeals process through the
Bozeman City Commission, BMC 6.04050 F 1 – 3.
The appeal process set forth below is a modified version of that found in Ordinance 1728, the
Neighborhood Recognition Ordinance. Simply stated, this provision allows either an applicant or
neighboring resident to appeal a decision by the Director of Public Safety - Police, or its designee.
Additionally, kennel license revocations are included under this recommended appeal process as are
appeal noticing procedures which remain consistent with those recommended in 4) Redefinition of
noticing requirements and process for kennel license applications and appeals, above.
Ordinance 1754, BMC 6.04050 F 1 – 3:
“F. Kennel License Application and Revocation Appeals
Decision(s) by the Director of Public Safety - Police, or its designee, to deny
or approve a kennel license application, revoke an existing kennel license or
reinstate a revoked kennel license may be appealed to the City Commission.
A written request for an appeal hearing before the City Commission shall be
submitted to the Director of Public Safety - Police, or its designee.
1. Any appeal of a kennel license application approval or denial, or
appeal of an existing kennel license revocation or reinstatement
decision(s) by the Director of Public Safety - Police, or its designee,
shall be in writing wherein the Appellant shall set forth the specific
provision(s) of the decision(s) being appealed.

property within two hundred feet of the site in question, including the

fifteen (15) days prior to the scheduled hearing. Additionally, the

liaison to the InterNeighborhood Council and neighborhood

associations. Applicant’s failure to properly complete and deliver all
appeal notice forms may constitute cause to deny the appeal.
3. Upon review of an appeal, the City Commission shall have the
authority to affirm, modify, or reverse the findings of Director of
Public Safety - Police, or its designee. Commission affirmation,
modification or reversal of a decision made by the Director of Public
Safety - Police, or its designee, shall be final and binding.”
In conclusion, staff’s recommended revisions to certain sections of the Kennel
Licensing Requirements, 6.04.050, address each of the three proposed criteria in the
recommended recital: 1) protect the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of
Bozeman; 2) promote residential harmony; and 3) ensure the well-being of properly
licensed cats and dogs. Taken collectively, the recommended revisions to the Kennel
Licensing Requirements reinforce the Commission objective of improving the efficiency
and expediency by which kennel licenses are reviewed, granted or revoked while
maintaining, at the appeal level, the Commission’s full review authority.

Sent:Tuesday, January 06, 2009 10:19 AM
To:Brit Fontenot
Subject:kennel language
Here are some suggestions for the kennel ordinance, Brit.
Maybe another WHEREAS of sorts:
Pet ownership enhances the enjoyment of life for many individuals it also can easily interfer with the enjoyment of life for
others as well as the health and safety of the general public. Laws requiring leashing, cleanup of fecal material, as well as
those dealing with biting and barking all recognize this reality. Ownership of multiple animals within the city limits can
have a dramatic negative effect on neighbors and neighborhoods where animals are harbored in increased
concentrations. Greater responsibilities both for the care of pets as well as the undisturbed enjoyment of life for neighbors
are issues that can be addressed through the granting and revocation of kennel licenses.
The "expedient mechanisms" listed in the existing WHEREAS can be made more objective in the following manner:
Addition to B (3) Extend the notification to organized neighborhood associations, as other notification processes have
been expanded.
Addition to B (4) b Develop specific objective criterion as to adequate size--square footage, fencing, enclosures.
Certainly Connie Lien has a good feel for this, and her working knowledge can be used as a partial basis for establishing
criterion.
Addition to B (4) c That the proposed use will have no adverse affect on the enjoyment of life by neighbors on abutting
properties or the neighborhood at large.
Addition to C Discount applies to first-time applicants only, not lapsed licenses. Licensees who allow their license to
lapse must reapply. Additional fees associatied with reapplication. Renewals are to occur within the first 30 days of the
new year.
Addition to D Kennel licensees stipulate to their understanding of and intention to comply with existing animal control
ordinances. Compliance with existing animal control ordinances is a condition of obtaining and renewing kennel licenses.
A violation (citation) of animal control ordinance shall be grounds for non-renewal of kennel license.
Thanks Brit. Let me know if I can be of further assistance in this matter.
