NOTICE OF
PUBLIC HEARING
Notice
is hereby given that a Public Hearing will be held Wednesday, September 3, 2025
at 11:00 AM in the Rich County Courthouse, 20 S. Main Street in Randolph. The Rich County Board of Commissioners is
considering amending its Ordinance for the Control of Dogs and Other Pets (no.
22-001). A copy of this proposed
ordinance can be obtained by contacting the Rich County Clerk, Anneliesa Peart
at (435) 793-2415.
The
County last amended its pet control ordinance in 2022. The Commission is considering an amendment
that would make it easier to address noise complaints caused by barking
dogs. The amendment being considered
would make a first violation an Infraction subject to a $100 fine. Subsequent violations within 12 months of a
prior conviction or formal warning would be considered a class-C misdemeanor
subject to a $250 fine. Additional
violations within 12 months of two prior convictions or warnings would be
considered a class-B misdemeanor subject to a $690 fine and require a mandatory
court appearance.
The
Board of Commissioners is soliciting the public’s comments on the proposed
ordinance. Those attending the hearing
will be invited to provide their input.
Those wishing to comment, but who are unable to attend the hearing may
also submit written comments to the Rich County Clerk prior to the hearing.
