North Adams Council Looks at Animal Commission, OKs Police Cruiser Deal

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The City Council Tuesday took the first step toward forming a new Animal Control Commission.
 
Mayor Jennifer Macksey brought the council the request to create a body to help the Police Department "in carrying out their responsibility under [Massachusetts General Law] as well as conduct hearings related to dangerous and/or nuisance dogs."
 
At Tuesday's meeting, Macksey told the council that state officials recommended that the city establish a commission, a proposal endorsed both by the local animal control officer and the interim police chief.
 
"As most of you know, we have a new animal control officer, Matthew Reynolds," Macksey said. "Part of his job has been to look at our ordinances and make sure we have enough documentation that when we get ourselves in a situation with a dangerous dog or nuisance dog, that we have enough procedures outlined."
 
According to a draft ordinance submitted by Macksey, the new five-member board would advise the city's animal control officer after hearing cases regarding concerns or complaints on an as-needed basis.
 
It also would be empowered to create educational programs, publish statistics on the city's animals and make recommendations to other bodies about a long-range plan to meet the North Adams' "needs in connection with animal control."
 
The councilors agreed that an Animal Control Commission would benefit the city.
