A couple appealed the city's denial of a permit to keep three dogs after repeat calls about their dog Daisy running loose and approaching people and pets. Police cited a pattern going back to 2018 and warned of continued nuisance risk; the applicants said licensing is now in order and presented 14 neighbor signatures in support. The committee deadlocked 2-2, so the Common Council will decide.
