He contacted ten-year old Grace Craps who had a laceration on her left calf that was the result of being bitten by an English bulldog while she was at 1051 Pacific Ave. in Rio Dell. Grace was transported to Redwood Memorial Hospital by ambulance and received 7 stiches to close the wound. He said that he investigated the incident further and found three witnesses who all confirmed that Pedro, the English bulldog belonging to Dayana Blanchard, had bitten Grace without provocation and learned that Pedro does not like kids. He said that he later spoke with the owner of the dog who also confirmed that the dog doesn't like children as the result He noted that Ms. Blanchard informed him that Pedro has cancer and doesn't have long to live. He said that he confirmed with the veterinary clinic that he does have cancer in his hind quarters but the prognosis was not spelled out in the medical report. He said that he explained to her that the Rio Dell Municipal Code requires dogs meeting the definition of a potentially dangerous dog to be confined in a fenced yard, a structure, a vehicle, or ona  potentially dangerous dog.  of him being beaten with sticks by a child.  -8-    RIO DELL CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL MEETING MINUTES JULY: 31, 2024 Page 2  leash at all times. He said that his determination of Pedro is that he fits that description and that the existing 3-foot tall plastic fence at her residence is not adequate to keep the dog As allowed under the Rio Dell Municipal Code, Ms. Blanchard requested the hearing before the City Council to contest his determination that Pedro is a potentially dangerous dog and Ms. Blanchard addressed the Council and said that there are apparently four versions of the incident but since she was not there at the time the bite occurred, she was not in a position She explained that she acquired Pedro 5-years ago from an animal shelter as a service dog because of a medical condition and because Pedro was diagnosed with cancer, he was prescribed with steroids. As such, the dog bite incident was a classical response to his She indicated that this was the first time Pedro had bitten anyone and that she doesn't want him to die as a vicious dog because he is not vicious, just sick. As far as keeping him confined, she said that English bulldogs are typically kept indoors as they would die if they stayed outside.

Mayor Pro Tem Carter called for questions from the Council.  Councilmember Woodall asked if a dog kennel could be used since the existing plastic Interim Chief of Police Conner explained that there is nothing in the code that specifically requires a fence. If the dog was always on a leash, in a secure structure or a vehicle it would meet the requirements. It is the definition of enclosure" that is problematic in terms of the plastic fence. He also noted that the landlord said that if she didn't build a fence he Councilmember Orr mentioned the comment about the landlord possibly threatening to evict Ms. Blanchard explained that if the dog was not sick and bit someone the landlord would require that the dog be confined in a secure fence but since Pedro is sick he understood that it would not be feasible to build a fence for the remaining duration of the dog's life.  fence was not adequate to confine the dog.  would take exception to that and possibly start the eviction process.

Mayor Pro Tem Carter said that she understands what a touchy subject this as she is also an animal person. She commented that animals do change their behavior when they get sick or on medication however, she thinks the cause of the behavior doesn't weigh in as much as what the behavior actually is. As councilmembers, they need to separate personal feelings about animals and to look at the behavior itself and notj just the cause. She noted that she would be inclined to support the position of the Interim Chief of Police because it is their job to look out for the entire community. What the Council does here sets a precedent for what happens in the future and dogs biting children is something that She commented that having a dog declared as a potentially dangerous dog is not a reflection of the owner or mean that someone is a bad dog owner as sometimes these things just happen. She pointed out that Ms. Blanchard has options to make sure the dog is restrained at all times exclusive of building a new fence. She clarified that no one is saying that the dog is vicious but rather a potentially dangerous dog and that seven stiches in a Councilmember Orr said that he had three concerns. He said that it was stated that the dog didn't like children which means it must have had some history of begin aggressive to Ms. Blanchard responded that it was her understanding that Pedro had previously been Councimember Orr agreed that health and medication can change a dog's behavior but why it happened doesn't matter sO much but that it did bite and potentially could do it again.

Interim Chief Conner explained that the City does have a leash law which is generally interpreted as having the dog under your control and not running loose. He noted that in this particular case, it likely wasn't a violation of the leash law because the dog was on private property however, this is a property that has a shared driveway in a courtyard setting Councimember Orr commented that this action is less than a punishment for the dog or the Ms. Blanchard argued that it doesn't make sense to put up a $1,000 fence for a dog that will Councimember Wilson agreed that it is a sad story but concurred with comments of the other councimembers. The child, at no fault of her own was bitten and the biggest issue is that after looking at the picture of the laceration, she will have a scar on her leg but could have been her face. He said he doesn't think that it is unreasonable to ask that the dog be restrained to protect other people around him. He supported the Chief's determination that Pedro is a potentially dangerous dog and that he be required to be restrained at all times. Councimember Woodall agreed with the Chief and said that she was bitten on her arm by a dog near the school and had it been a kid, it would have probably bit them in the face. She said that she understands how the owner feels, but the Chief has a lot of experience in Mayor Pro Tem Carter added that this is not only a protective measure for the public but also for the dog owner in the event it should happen again.

Authorize Staff to Periodically Close Vehicular River Access at Edwards Drive  ITISI RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL:  Authorize staff to periodically close vehicular access at Edwards Drive through December 2024.  BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION  Construction is slated tol begin on or before August 15th for the Eel River Trail. Construction will occur on the very northern turnaround on Edwards Drive, interfering with vehicular traffic at that location. Iti is recommended that the Council authorize staff to engage in closures in consultation with the project contractor to secure the site. Every effort will be made to open vehicular access on weekends and holidays while no work is being conducted and when such access does not negatively impact the project.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION  The agreement is related to the Clean California Grant for the Eel River Trail and no City funds are being used for the project. Under the grant agreement the City has work to do related to the non-infrastructure portion oft the grant, including a community art installation. Originally the art installation was proposed to be located on the cement wall oft the Chlorine Contact Basin, adjacent to the trail. The basin was damaged during the December 2022 earthquakes, additionally the trail alignment was moved and is no longer adjacent to the basin. A new "art wall" will be needed to complete this portion oft the grant requirements. The scope amendment will allow the necessary design work to be completed for the wall.. As we get closer to the final design, a final change order with the contractor will return to the Council to amend the project budget for construction. The cost oft this is expected to be minimal and the grant will be able to pay for construction. Staff, GHD and our consultants with RCAA agreed it would be a good opportunity to combine the seating requirements with an art wall. The basic concept: is for the wall to be covered in art tiles produced by Rio Dell Elementary School children, include seating and also have spaçe for a central professional mural. Concepts for the mural will be developed by local qualified artists and then voted on and selected by the community at large  through a social media campaign.
