Cherokee Commission To Hold Hearing On Dangerous Dog Ordinance

The county commission will consider amending the ordinance to comply with recent changes in state law.

The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners will hold a public hearing on proposed changes to its ordinances in relation to the regulation of dangerous and vicious dogs on Tuesday.

The hearing will be held during the commission's regular meeting, which starts at 6 p.m. The commission will also hold a work session at 3 p.m. Both meetings will take place at the county administration building.

The commission will also consider a lease agreement with the Woodstock Downtown Development Authority, which would allow the authority to use its trolley between Nov. 30 and Dec. 27. The trolley will be used as a trial period to measure its popularity with residents.
