NOW THEREFORE BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR THE VILLAGE OF OAKVIEW, MISSOURI AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1: DANGEROUS ANIMALS--GENERALLY
A. Classification. The Chief of Police or his designated representative shall classify
any animal with the following characteristics as a "dangerous animal" for purposes of this Ordinance:
1. Any animal which has inflicted a severe or fatal injury on a human on public or private
property. "Severe injury" means any physical injury resulting directly from an animal's bite, which results in broken bones or lacerations requiring stitches, or hospitalization. The victim receiving severe injuries as defined above, must provide the Police Chief with a physician's statement documenting the injury and the treatment qualifying such as a severe injury, or sign an authorization for the release of such statement.
2. Any animal which has attacked or bitten a human being or domestic animal, without
provocation, on public or private property other than the property of the owner.
3. Any animal which, while on the owner's property, has attacked or bitten, without
provocation, a human being other than the owner or a member of the owner's family who normally resides at the place where the animal is kept, or domestic animal.
4. Any animal which, while off the owner's property, has killed a domestic animal, livestock, or poultry without provocation.
5. Any animal owned or harbored primarily or in part for the purpose of fighting or any animal trained for fighting.
6. Any animal which, when unprovoked, chases or approaches a person upon the streets,
sidewalks, or any public grounds, or private property other than that property of the owner, in a menacing fashion or apparent attitude of attack, regardless of whether or not a person is injured by said animal.
7. Any animal with a known propensity, tendency or disposition to attack unprovoked, to
cause injury, or to otherwise threaten the safety of human beings or domestic animals.
B. Notice. Within five (5) working days after classifying an animal as a "dangerous animal", the
Chief of Police or his designated representative shall notify the animal's owner of such
classification, in writing. The notice shall identify the requirements and conditions for maintaining a dangerous animal as set forth in all sections of this Ordinance. If the owner cannot be located, the animal may be immediately impounded and notice shall be posted at the owner's last known address.
C. Appeal And Hearing. If the circumstances surrounding the classification as a dangerous
animal under any of the definitions listed in Subsection (A) of this Section are in dispute or if the animal owner contests the classification, then the owner has the option of submitting, within five (5) working days of Notice of said classification, a written request to the Village Clerk for a hearing to contest the "dangerous animal" classification.
1. A Village representative shall, within ten (10) working days after receipt of a bona fide written request, designate a Hearing Officer to conduct the hearing and render a decision.
2. Pending the outcome of such a hearing, the animal is to be relocated to a safe place outside of the Village limits of Oakview until such time as a proper enclosure has been built and inspected as provided for hereinafter.
3. The Hearing Officer shall determine whether to declare the animal to be a "dangerous
animal" based upon evidence and testimony presented at the time of the hearing, in addition to witnesses, animal control personnel, Police or any other person possessing information pertinent to such determination. The hearing shall be informal and strict rules of evidence shall not apply. The owner may be represented by counsel, present oral and written evidence, and cross examine witnesses.
4. The Hearing Officer shall issue a decision after the close of the hearing and notify the owner in writing of the decision. The owner or possessor of the animal found to be a "dangerous animal" shall be required to maintain the animal as herein provided in this Ordinance.
5. Any person aggrieved by the determination of the Hearing Officer may appeal the decision to the Circuit Court of Clay County pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 536, RSMo.; provided however, that any appeal must be filed with the Circuit Court within five (5) days of the date of the Hearing Officer's decision.
D. Exemptions To Dangerous Animal Classification.
1. No animal may be declared a "dangerous animal" if the threat, injury or damage was
sustained by a person who, at the time, was committing a willful trespass or other tort upon the premises occupied by the owner or keeper of the animal, or was teasing, tormenting, abusing, or assaulting the animal, or has, in the past, been observed or reported to have teased, tormented, abused or assaulted the animal or was committing or attempting to commit a crime.
2. The Chief of Police may, because of extenuating circumstances, determine from the investigation of an incident, that an animal is not dangerous. However, the owner, being responsible for said animal, shall be warned of the animal's tendencies and shall take appropriate action to prevent subsequent incidences. This, however, does not exempt the owner from being cited for other animal control ordinance violations.
3. Animals owned by governmental or law enforcement agencies when being used in the
services of those agencies are exempt.
E. Actions Taken When Animals Cause Severe or Fatal Injuries. Upon receiving notification of severe or fatal injuries, the Chief of Police or his designated representative shall cause the animal/animals to be impounded.
1. An animal responsible for an unprovoked severe or fatal attack shall be humanely destroyed.
2. An animal responsible for a provoked severe or fatal attack should be maintained as a dangerous animal pursuant to Section 2 of this Ordinance.
