First reading of Springfield pit bull ordinance delayed

(From the City of Springfield)

At Councilwoman Kristi Fulnecky’s request, the first reading and public hearing for an ordinance to further regulate pit bull ownership in the city of Springfield has been rescheduled from the Sept. 5 City Council meeting to the Sept. 18 meeting.

Mayor Ken McClure and Plans and Policies Committee chair Councilman Craig Hosmer approved the request due to Councilwoman Fulnecky’s inability to be in attendance at the Sept. 5 meeting.
