Summary of Proposed Ordinance
Lewis County hereby gives notice that Ordinance#1289, an Ordinance to amend Chapter
6.05 and Section 2.25.130 of the Lewis County Code pertaining to dangerous animal
proceedings and appeals, shall be the subject of a public hearing before the Board of
County Commissioners at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, August 13, 2018, at the Historic
Courthouse at 351 N.W. North Street, Chehalis. It may then be enacted immediately at
the conclusion thereof. The Ordinance, if adopted, will amend Ch. 6.05 LCC and LCC
2.25.130 to make procedural and substantive changes to dangerous animal proceedings
and appeals. The full text of the proposed Ordinance will be mailed to any person, upon
request directed to the Clerk of the Board of County Commissioners, tel. 360-740-1120.
The changes include the creation of a citizens' panel to hear dangerous animal cases, as
well as technical, procedural, and substantive changes to make the citizens' panel
hearing and subsequent appeal occur efficiently and fairly. Separately, a speedy court
process not dependent on any civil or criminal prosecution is created to address situations
in which a dangerous animal's owner fails to meet the legal requirements for keeping a
dangerous animal. Finally, a provision is added to make a fifth or subsequent civil animal
violation within a 10-year period a misdemeanor instead of an infraction.
Anyone desiring to voice an opinion for or against the proposed ordinance should
appear and be heard. Written comments may be submitted to the BOCC by August 10,
2018.
The BOCC Hearing Room is handicap accessible. Arrangements to reasonably
accommodate the special needs, including handicap accessibility or interpreter, will be
made upon receiving twenty-four (24) hour advance notice. Contact Rieva Lester at
360-740-1419.
