Auburn Police Chief Scott Harmon said the Auburn ordinance regarding dogs was basically the same as Russellville's. He met with Russellville Code Enforcement Officer Bill Decker to discuss enforcing the vicious dog registration.Roche said the city will put a notice in the paper to give people time to register their dogs before they start issuing citations.“We want to be fair and give the people advance warning,” Roche said.Those who own a “vicious dog” must register the dog with the city. Registration will cost $20 a year and owners must show proof of insurance in order to receive a vicious dog license.State Farm Insurance Agent John Mardis said that most homeowner policies automatically cover dogs. Renters insurance policies also cover dogs, Mardis explained.“It can vary company to company,” he added.Roche said he doesn't believe there are that many dogs in Auburn that need to be registered. Harmon, Roche and other city leaders will be looking for any such dogs and making sure their owners have them registered. When a dog is registered the owner will be given a tag to put on the dog.When new residents move into the city, they will be informed of the requirement when signing up for water.http://www.newsdemocratleader.com/articles/2008/03/14/news/news03.txt
