The City of Windsor Board of Alderman held an Aggressive or Vicious Dog public hearing for the dog known as Basha, Intake No. 21-31 on Thursday October 7th at 7:30 p.m. in the City Hall Meeting Room at 125 S Main.

• Mayor Rollins called the public hearing to order at 7:30 pm with the following Aldermen present: John Morley, Debbie Bowers, Jakob Erdmann, Hanna Goosen and Newell Whetstone. Absent – Steve Clubine.
• Mayor Rollins introduces Elizabeth Brewington as the owner of Basha, Intake No. 21-31 and states that Elizabeth was advised that she may have the assistance of counsel or may appear by counsel and shall have the right to present evidence.
• Mayor Rollins states the hearing will not be conducted according to the rules of evidence. Any relevant evidence may be submitted and considered by the Board of Alderman. Today’s hearing will proceed in the following manner. The city will present its evidence first. Once the City’s case is presented, the Dog Owner will have an opportunity to present their case. Then the City will have an opportunity for rebuttal if it so chooses. Finally, the city and the Dog Owner will have an opportunity to make closing remarks in that respective order.

City may proceed.

• City presents the police report # 2109-0783 from the dog bite incident that occurred on September 26th in which Basha Intake No. 21-31 bit an officer when they were responding to 206 Montgomery Street on a tip call of possible stolen property at the residence.
• Lance Tucker Public Works Director was called to retrieve the dog after the bite occurred. When he responded to the residence the dog was acting in an aggressive manner and bit Lance on the hand. Since the dog has been in the custody the City employees have attempted to work with the dog but her demeanor is such that they are unable to even take care of her in a normal manner. Lance states his opinion is the dog is not safe to adopt or be placed back into the community.
• Mayor Rollins informs the dog owner, Elizabeth Brewington, she may proceed with her evidence.
• Elizabeth states she was not present at the dog bite incident at 206 Montgomery on September 26th but that she told the people at the residence to keep the dog away from people because she has been known to bite. Elizabeth is disabled and believes the dog acts in this aggressive manner as she has been Elizabeth’s protector. Elizabeth states the dog probably felt unsafe when the city employee was retrieving her and that is why she bit the employee. Elizabeth has had the dog for 1 year and 8 months and she resides at 302 E Jackson.
