A proposed animal control ordinance for the city of Colleyville would repeal the current fees associated with registering pets, among other changes.
Consideration of changes to the city's animal rules comes on the heels of an agreement with the cities of Keller and Southlake to consolidate animal control services throughout the area. The ordinance proposal came before the Colleyville City Council during pre-council discussion July 1.
The ordinance proposal makes the case that removing the current $3 fee for registration would encourage owners to register pets, making it easier to identify and return animals that are lost.
Impounding fees would change. First impounding of an animal would remain at $30 and the second would remain at $50, but the third, fourth and fifth would increase. The third would move from $70 to $75, the fourth from $90 to $150 and the fifth from $110 to $150.
