He cited one case in particular when a large dog killed a small dog and proceeded to tear it apart and eat it.

Chief Doubek stated that he could see some merit to a zoned leash law. It was suggested that the pickup fee be increased, but some felt that the wrong faction would suffer. A letter from the yacht club was read which asked the Council to somehow deal with the problem of dogs on the docks.
