The council last week approved the cat ordinance which is a different approach than most cities use in controlling and disposing of felines. Cats who become a public or private nuisance , which is defined in the ordinance as interfering with the enjoyment of a person's property, can now be apprehended, said Roger Dutson, Roy City attorney. Roy City adopted the addition to its current nuisance ordinance after it was brought to the council's attention a number of wild cats Jiad been disturbing area neighborhoods. The Roy City animal control will offer residents assistance in controlling the cats by issuing live trap cages free of charge. If a cat has nothing to identify it with its owner when it is apprehended, the person who has apprehended the cat must make an effort to locate the owner, Dutson said. An effort in the ordinance has been defined as notifying residents 500 feet (four or five homes) within the area of apprehension, Dutson said. If he cant find the owner within 500 feet, then he (the captor) can take the cat to animal control I vtoNBER if ih BODY BRONZE fanning saon dogs are required to have a Nishiguchi, Riverside, said innovative ideas are essential if the state is to meet the changing needs of its high school The Board of Regents is studying various ideas, including a proposal to limit state university enrollment, and one to turn Utahs technical schools into community colleges, and providing more general education opportunities through them.

Dutson went on to say if the cat is identified and returned to the owner an infraction complaint can still be filed by the captor. Basically, we are not doing anything but providing some recourse to resolve the cat problem, he said. Dutson said the ordinance came about because Roy City has a few wild cats and in the past has had no authority to dispose of them. However, Dutson feels the addi- - tional effort required of the person capturing the cat will protect pets. My concern is how do we pro- tect the cat owner, Dutson said. If the pet owners cats are out creating a nuisance, then owners should identify them, he said. Cats roam, and they roam at night. Cats cannot be controlled by a fence, Dutson said justifying the need for the ordinance. Dutson said the same ordinance applies to dogs, but someone who apprehends a dog is not required to look for the owner because all es technical training. Most of the jobs available now m Utah call for vocational training, he added. The Farm Bureau leader was also concerned about a possible loss of essential services that are provided to agriculture by Utah State University. Any changes contemplated by the Board of Regents should recognize how important USU is to our abundant food supply, Nishiguchi stated. .Utah is faced with some tough choices in our educational system, from top to bottom.
