CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY 10.5 Written public questions to Council 1. Denny Mileikowski – South Caulfield Recently Glen Eira city council rangers fined a lady for walking her greyhound off leash in off leash areas $249.00. Her greyhound is 14 years old, arthritic and can barely walk, let alone run. Does the council believe this fine is justified, given the fact that this greyhound poses no threat whatsoever, irrespective of what the law states. Surely some discretion could be applied or is there some sought of taskforce been set up targeting greyhound owners. Response: If the offending person that you refer to wishes to appeal their infringement notice, they are advised to do so via Council’s website https://www.gleneira.vic.gov.au/contact- us/infringements/appeal-an-animal-infringement. Alternatively they can apply in writing by stating the grounds on which the decision should be reviewed via our postal address at, PO Box 42, Caulfield South, Vic 3162. Council will then notify them of the response by mail. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.
