Council seeks changes to Apache Junction animal-control regulations, purchase procedures
by Richard H Dyer
Directing city staff to modify regulations including the handling of pot-bellied-pig bites and allowing the city to recover animal-care costs for animals found in motor vehicles was approved at a recent council meeting. The council in a separate vote directed staff to revise the city’s purchasing procedures.
The Apache Junction Police Department proposed changes to Apache Junction City Code Article 6-5: confined animals, § 6-5-2 allowing the city to recover animal-care costs for animals found in motor vehicles.
If an individual is arrested and has a pet, the police department is responsible for the animal, officials said.
