Highland Park was considering a pit bull ban earlier this summer, but has decided to revise their animal ordinances in a non-breed-specific manner.
The proposed ordinance can be viewed here:
Highland Park Revised Animal Ordinance Draft
Highland Park Revised Animal Ordinance Draft with Markup (to compare to original ordinance)
Interested or concerned residents may wish to attend the city council meeting on August 24 at 4:30 PM. The proposed revisions will be discussed at this meeting.
