Mayor Moore read a letter received from Linda Layne of 8875 Gunpowder Road. Ms. Layne was concerned over a neighbor possibly breeding pit bull dogs. She was concerned that she had written to the Commission several months ago about outlawing this type of dog in the city and had received no response. After discussion, the Commission felt that there should be an answer to her complaint. Mayor Moore will compose a letter stating at this time the Commission feels that this type legislation would be unwise as there has been no further complaints of any type, but her concern is acknowledged and appreciated.

Letters had been received from Patrick Fitzsimmons and Troy Fitzsimmons, both expressing their gratitude for the city participating in the Great American Clean-up 2001, as it will promote better community relationships.
