Citizen Activism Afoot! Dog Lovers Rallying on Fence Ordinance
...oh, those darn community organizers...
Promoted from the comment section at the Madville Times:
Julie Lavin, of Almost Home Canine Rescue is coordinating a group to attend Monday night's meeting on November 10th at 5:30. If you are concerned or have a fence that would be affected, please contact Julie at jlavin6@sio.midco.net and make sure you contact your City Commissioners, Dick Ericsson, Karen Lembcke, Dan Bohl, Scott Delzer and Mayor Gene Hexom to express your thoughts prior to Monday night's meeting at City Hall.
Now that's the kind of citizen participation I like to see! Remember, the squeaky wheels get the grease (or is it the squeaky pups that get the Alpo?).
We've had some good discussion here online, including some useful perspective from City Commissioner Dan Bohl himself. Air your thoughts here and in person Monday... but please, leash up your pooches outside the City Commission room....

I am not organizing anything like this. Especially not on the rescue's behalf. I did contact people I know who have fences so they will be aware of the proposed ordinance and attend the meeting Monday night. I talked to a few people by email a week ago, but I am not coordinating anything.
As a fence owner, I am concerned about this ordinance. I talked to Russ twice this week and commissioners by email. Russ is a great city employee just trying to do his job and is mostly concerned about Future fence construction, not existing fences. The commissioners told me that they are looking for the best solution to this problem and are mainly concerned about future fence construction. They welcome the public to attend the meeting Monday night to figure out the best way to solve the meter reading issues in Madison.
I do hope that anyone concerned about this ordinance contacts our commissioners and attend the meeting Monday night, but I am not coordinating any
group effort.
