The ordinance, passed Feb. 18 on the third and final reading at the Logan City Council meeting, also raises fines for dogs running at large and for unlicensed pets.

For the first conviction owners will be fined $100. Upon the conviction of a second offense within a year, in addition to a civil penalty of up to $750, the owner will have 72 hours to remove the animal from the city limits.

No local comments had been received against the policy change at the last two council meetings. The only comments against the proposed ban had been received from people from out-of-state, said city administrator Nedra Fliehe.
