AN ORDINANCE ENACTING SECTION 6.16.070 OF THE MURRAY CITY MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO THE SALE OF DOGS, CATS, AND RABBITS AT PET SHOPS, RETAIL BUSINESSES, OR OTHER COMMERCIAL ESTABLISHMENTS WITHIN MURRAY CITY.
PREAMBLE Pet stores, retail businesses, and other commercial establishments selling live animals have traditionally been a sales outlet for young dogs, cats, and rabbits bred in substandard breeding facilities often referred to as "puppy mills", "kitten mills", and "rabbit mills" which mass-produce animals for sale to the public. Animals born and raised at these types of facilities are often subjected to: over breeding and inbreeding; minimal to non-existent veterinary care; lack of adequate food, water, and shelter; lack of socialization; lack of adequate space; and the euthanization of unwanted animals. The inhumane conditions in facilities such as these may lead to health and behavioral issues in those animals, which many consumers are unaware of when purchasing animals. These health and behavioral issues, which may not present themselves until years after the purchase of the animals, can impose exorbitant financial and emotional costs on consumers. The Murray City Municipal Council believes that regulating the retail sale of dogs, cats, and rabbits within the City will promote community awareness of animal welfare, and , in turn, will foster a more humane environment in the City. These regulations will also reduce impulse purchases of pets, which can lead to abandonment or mistreatment of the animals once they have outgrown their initial appeal, as well as reduce the costs of sheltering and euthanizing unwanted problem pets. The City Council has thus determined that it is in the best interest of the City's residents to adopt this ordinance to regulate the retail sale of dogs, cats, and rabbits within the City. BE IT ENACTED BY THE MURRAY CITY MUNICIPAL COUNCIL: Section 1. Purpose. The purpose of this ordinance is to enact Section 6.16.070 of the Murray City Municipal Code relating to the sale of dogs, cats, and rabbits at pet shops, retail businesses, or other commercial establishments. Section 2. Enactment of Section 6. 16. 070 of the Murray City Municipal Code. Section 6.16.070 of the Murray City Municipal Code relating to the sale of dogs, cats, and rabbits at pet shops, retail businesses, or other commercial establishments shall be enacted to read as follows:
6.16.070 Sale of Dogs, Cats, and Rabbits at Commercial Animal Establishments A. Purpose. The purpose of this Ordinance is to protect the citizens of the City who may purchase dogs, cats, or rabbits from a pet shop, retail business, or other commercial establishment, by reducing the emotional and financial burdens on consumers who unwittingly buy mill-bred pets, and to reduce the costs to the City of sheltering and euthanizing unwanted problem pets.
B. Definitions. For the purposes of th is section, the following words shall have the following meanings:
1. "Certificate of Source" means any document from the source animal shelter, animal control agency, humane society, or non-profit rescue organization declaring the source of the dog, cat, or rabbit on the premises of the pet shop, retail business, or other commercial animal establishment.
2. "Non-Profit Animal Rescue Organization" means any non-profit organization that has tax exempt status under Section 501 (c)(3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code, whose mission and practice is, in whole or in significant part, the rescue and placement of dogs, cats, or rabbits.
C. It is unlawful to display, offer for sale, deliver, barter, auction, give away, transfer, or sell any live dog, cat, or rabbit in any pet shop, retail business, or other commercial establishment located in Murray City, unless the dog, cat, or rabbit was obtained from a city or county animal shelter or animal control agency, a humane society, or a non-profit animal rescue organization.
D. All pet shops, retail businesses, or other commercial animal establishments selling dogs, cats, or rabbits shall maintain a certificate of source for each of the animals and make it available upon request to animal control officers, law enforcement, code enforcement officers, or any other city employee charged with enforcing the provisions of this section.
E. This section shall not apply to the display, offer for sale, delivery, bartering, auction, giving away, transfer, or sale of dogs, cats, or rabbits from the premises on which they were bred and reared .
F. Nothing in this section shall prevent the owner, operator, or employees of a pet shop, retail business, or other commercial establishment located in the City from providing space and appropriate care for animals owned by a city animal shelter or an imal control agency, humane society, or non-profit animal rescue organization and maintaining those animals at the pet shop, retail business, or other commercial animal establishment for the purpose of public adoption.
G. A violation of this section shall be a Class C Misdemeanor. Each dog, cat, or rabbit sold or offered for sale in violation of this section shall constitute a separate offense.
Section 3. Effective date. This Ordinance shall take effect upon first publication.

Introduction I Features I Igneous rocks Sedimentary rocks Me amorphic rocks Argillite Brecd a Breccia Chert Conglomerate Breccia is a rock formed from angular gravel and boulder-sized dasts cemented together in a Greywacke matrix. The angular nature of the clasts indicates that they have not been transported very far Limestone from their source. There are several modes of formation for breccia. Some represent consolidated material accumulated on steep hill slopes or at the foot of cliffs. cataclastic breccias Mudstone are produced by the fragmentation of rocks during faulting. Volcanic brecclas (agglomera es) Sandstone comprise blocks of lava in an ash matrix and are the product of an explosive eruption. Hydrothermal breccias are formed when hydrothermal fluid fractures a rock mass. Impact . ' . . impact. The cement that binds the dasts in a brecda is generally one of either calcite, silica or iron oxide. The matrix can consist solely of the cementing material, but may also contain sand and / or silt sized dasts cemented together among the coarser clasts. Breccia can be further divided according to: Class - brecda can be divided into two broad classes: Clast supported - where the clasts touch each other and the matrix fills the voids; and Matrix supported - where the clasts are not in contact and the matrix surrounds each clast; Clast size - fine (2 - 6mm), medium (6 - 20mm), coarse (20 - 60mm), very coarse (> 60mm); Sorting - a breccia comprising a mixture of clast sizes is poorly sorted, while one comprising mostly clasts of the same size is well sorted; Lithology - a brecda where the clasts represent more than one rode type is termed polymictic (or petromictic), while one where the clasts are of a single rode type are monomictic (or oligomictic).

As the author traversed the various channels, much of andesite flow rocks are exposed above and along the strike of this scarp. of the drainage was observed to be controlled by joints trending in a westerly direction . The joint pattern and the trend or the channels Other scarps may be present along the north flank of the East closely conforms to the system recognized by Beeson (1925, p. 781) Traverae Mountains, but they are covered by Pleistocene Lake sediments. na being developed in the northeast quadrant with the major !lssures I striking about N. 65°E .• and the minor fissures striking N. 35° E.

The fault displaces volcanic rocks of the Traverse spur, the joint pattern appears to be a Pennsylvanian-Oquirrh quartzite&, Tertiary volcanics and P leistocene controlling factor. !anglomerate, raising them a few hundred feet, and subsequent erosion has deeply dieaected them. Corner Creek is observed to cut fresh granite just below the upper switchback of the road that traverses the range. Here the Towards the west end of the fault, the scarp is frequently unweathered granite is cleanly fractured into large blocks, and the stream , marked by a dark red, weathered breccia. Silici!ication is also common controlled by joints, is cutting its course through the intrusive. The fault along its trend. zone in this area !a covered by alluvium for the most part. North Flank Fault This fault scarp has been referred to by Gilbert (1690, p. 107) as a great sea cliff cut by Lake Bonneville currents and wave action which developed maximum forces while traveling the full length of the lake. The Extensive breccia outcrops and the divergent at;itude of bedding materia· ltrongly support faulting through this Hollow. A zone of extensive area, where larie spits were developed. Marsell (1932) followed the silicification and hydrothermal alteration of the volcanics also demonstrates influence of this great geologist and called Steep Mountain scarp a sea deep fissures. The thick section of volcanic flow rocks on the east wall cliff, but recent work done in the area by Dolan ( 1957) reflecting the curre nt ot the canyon without any counter part to the west, suggests the volcanics concept of Marsell, shows the north !ace of Stei,p Mountain as an inferred on the west may have been faulted up and later eroded away. fault scarp. Large slump !ans occurring along the baee o! the scarp and the linear occurrence of Potatoe Hill and Red Rock Hill, located east and Faults Encountered In the Draper-Alpine Tunnel on strike with the north !ace of Steep Mountain, also strongly suggests faulting. Other evidence which supports this conclusion is as follows: Murdock (1941) writes concerning the !aulting encountered in the (1) a sudden drop in the drainaie profile which has developed sharp "V" draper-Alpine tunnel as follows: gullies, thus dissecting an ancient erosional surface (Plate Ill, figure 4), (2) intense brecciation and sllici!icatlon occurs along the trend of th scarp, (3) two highly breccio.te<1.orthoquartzite deposits occur on strik
