HOWL FOUL

City hall administration is proposing a way to make it easier to file complaints about barking or howling pets.

City council asked last year for a report on making the standard for reporting on nuisance barking apply in the same way throughout the entire day.

Currently, the process for reporting barking complaints during daylight hours (6 a.m. to 11 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. on weekends) requires a log to be filled out over five to seven days.

A City of Saskatoon report proposes changes that would shorten the length of time required for the log to be filled out — dropping to two or three days. Other proposed changes include unspecified computer software upgrades and reducing the number of questions required to fill out the log.
