David Miller Councilman Robert Linton Town Clerk Jean Scofield (absent - Councilman Larry Lanning) PLEDGE OF Ar.r.FrTF • SPCA PFMSENrATICK - Robin Renick There has been an increase of dog control complaints to the SPCA. Robing Remick feels that the town people want better dog control. Most dog complaints come from the Sandy Creek Trailer Park. The owners apparently are not enforcing their trailer park rules. The main problem is that there is no leash law in effect in the Town of Enfield. The SPCA cannot issue tickets to the dog owners if the (logs are running loose unless there is a signed complaint. Ms. Remick would like the town to add a leash law to help in the control of dogs. r p� Ms. Renick said that all7\money received by the town should be allocated to dog control. In the past 3 years Enfield has taken in more money than was paid to the SPCA for dog control.
