KSCO has learned that a Zoom video conference meeting which is closed to the public will be taking place tomorrow (Tuesday) evening.
The meeting will involve the Santa Cruz County Supervisors, Melanie Sobel with Santa Cruz County Animal Control,
and board members of the local Farm Bureau.
The meeting is slated to discuss proposed animal ordinances crafted by the Animal Control Director, some of which include:
- A limit of 3 dogs and 5 cats, with a permit required for those who wish to own more than those amounts.
- The banning of petting zoos at school fundraisers
- No feeding of feral cats, unless they’re spayed or neutered.
- Limits on roosters without a Rooster Facility License
- A ban on 4-H presentations, including animal auctions at the Santa Cruz County Fair.
While this story is developing, those interested in commenting on these proposed changes should contact their county supervisors at 831.454.2200
