Overview: The Zumbrota City Council meeting focused on revising the city’s animal ordinance, which had not been updated since 1982, and celebrating a $1 million grant for the sanitary district. The revised animal ordinance introduces changes such as increasing the number of dogs allowed per household from three to four and reducing the barking duration required to classify a nuisance from five minutes to three. The ordinance aimed to align with updated state laws and improve enforceability by the police. A public comment raised concerns about the increase to four dogs and suggested a leash requirement . . .
