Code Enforcement Board Meeting Minutes 07/17/08 Merola went into detail about the requirements of 10-45 and said Dr. Lynn had complied with all of those. Then the letter of June 20" came, requiring Dr. Lynn to remove the dog or euthanize it. Mr. Merola read subsection (h) into the record and said the Code Enforcement Board did not have any jurisdiction over subsection (i) as subsection (h) just mentioned (d) through (g). The Town filed a lawsuit and he and Mr. Randolph were before Judge Hoy this morning.

This is all going to be determined Tuesday and he is asking the Board to either deny the Town’s recommendation because the Town cannot prove the dog is a nuisance now or res
