Report CD-16-89 - 2 - June 19, 1989
On May 29, 1989 Council authorized payment of a livestock claim in the amount
of $98.00 to Mr. Ferruccio Bianco for damage which was caused by raccoons.
At that time, Council was informed that the municipality may, under
Section 10(3) of the Dog Licensing and Livestock and Poultry Protection
Act pass a by-law providing that where livestock or poultry are killed
or injured by wild animals other than wolves, the municipality would
be liable to the owner for the amount of damage. Council has not
passed a by-law under Section 10(3) of the Act and therefore must
determine whether the claim will be approved.
It is staff's opinion that, in light of the fact that Mr. Bianco's
claim was approved, the subject claim should be approved. However,
if this instance should arise again, staff_ will be recommending that
a by-law be passed by Council, fixing a maximum amount which will
be paid for damages.
Respectfully submitted, Recommended for Presentation
