Ada Village Council meeting notes

Posted by Monty Siekerman on Wednesday, January 18, 2017

A proposed cell tower, dog park planning, and the football drop schedule were discussed at Ada Village council meeting on Tuesday night in the city building.
Verizon is interested in constructing a cell tower on village property and may pay the Village about $10,000 a year to do so.
Council agreed to pursue the idea further. It will probably be discussed for a long time before contracts are signed. The location has not been decided, among other issues.

Village begins approval of tougher dog law

Legislation's first reading passes on Tuesday
Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, November 16, 2016

By Amy Eddings
Tougher penalties against vicious and loose dogs, as well as new restrictions aimed at owners who keep their dogs tied up all day, were introduced at the regular meeting of Ada’s village council on Tuesday night. Council members unanimously voted in favor of them during the first of three readings of the legislation.

The legislation was inspired by a pit bull attack last July in which a pit bull that had escaped from its pen charged and attacked one of two dogs owned by Jim and Jackie Meyer of Ada. Jim Meyer is the former village administrator of Ada.

Story and photo by Amy Eddings
The Ada village council moved closer to approving stiffer penalties against owners of vicious or dangerous dogs, following the attack last August of an Ada couple and their two small dogs by a pit bull that had escaped its kennel.  

The legislation would not ban or target pit bulls or any other breed, a focus that council members had previously considered.  
 
“I changed my opinion a lot on that after I talked to my vet, and my sister, who has five dogs”  councilor Bob Simmons said. “It’s true, any dog can bite."
