[HISTORY: Adopted by the City Council of the City of Lincoln 6-15-2021 by Ord. No. 2021-11.[1] Amendments noted where applicable.]
[1]
Editor's Note: This ordinance included an emergency clause
that provided as follows: "The City Council finds that there are no
current restrictions on tethering animals and regulations on animal
trolley systems. The City Council finds that proper restriction, especially
in the summer months, is critical to life in an incorporated city.
Therefore, the City Council hereby finds and declares that this ordinance
is of such urgent and pressing business that an emergency is declared
to exist, and that this ordinance shall be effective immediately upon
its passage."
This ordinance shall be known as "An Ordinance Prohibiting the
Unattended Tethering of Animals within the City Limits, Regulating
Animal Trolley Systems, Declaring an Emergency and for Other Purposes."
As used in this ordinance:
The attachment of an animal, or the animal's collar or harness,
to a fixed point such as a structure, stake, pole, fence or tree by
means of a chain or rope.
A confinement system utilizing cables and a pulley. Only
one animal may be on each trolley system. The cable must be attached
to a properly fitting collar or harness and of at least eight feet
in length. The trolley cable must be fixed to two permanent points
and no less than 10 feet long and mounted four to seven feet off the
ground. There must be a swivel on at least one end of the affixed
cable to prevent entanglement and have the ability to slide on the
horizontal cable with a stop at each end. No obstructions shall be
in the trolley area. The system shall provide adequate room for normal
postural adjustments, for exercise and access to water, food, and
shelter.
It shall be unlawful for any person to tether an animal as a
means of confining or restricting the movement of the animal unless
there is, at all times the animal is tethered, a person over the age
of 12 years physically present with the animal and within eyesight
and earshot of the animal.
The use of a trolley system, whether attended or not by a human,
that meets the requirements defined above, is hereby expressly permitted.
It is unlawful for any person to use any trolley system that does
not meet all of the criteria defined above as a means of confining
or restricting the movement of an animal. No trolley system will be
permitted past the front building line of the primary structure.
