ORDINANCE 1379ORDINANCE NO. 1379
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING EL SEGUNDO MUNICIPAL CODE
§ 6- 4 -6(A) REGARDING FEES FOR KENNELS HOUSING MORE
THAN TEN DOGS.
The Council of the City of El Segundo does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1 • El Segundo Municipal Code ( "ESMC ") § 6- 4 -6(A) is amended to read as follows:
"A• Any person conducting, managing or maintaining a kennel must
pay the city an annual fee for the privilege of conducting or maintaining a
dog kennel. The amount of the annual fee will be set by city council
resolution and entitles the kennel operator to maintain ten (10) or fewer
dogs. An additional fee, set by city council resolution, must be paid by
persons managing or maintaining kennels housing more than ten (10)
dogs."
SECTION 2- If any part of this Ordinance or its application is deemed invalid by a court of
competent jurisdiction, the city council intends that such invalidity will not affect the
effectiveness of the remaining provisions or applications and, to this end, the provisions of this
Ordinance are severable.
SECTION 3 • Repeal of any provision of the El Segundo Municipal Code does not affect any
penalty, forfeiture, or liability incurred before, or preclude prosecution and imposition of
penalties for any violation occurring before this Ordinance's effective date. Any such repealed
Part will remain in full force and effect for sustaining action or prosecuting violations occurring
before the effective date of this Ordinance.
SECTION 4• The City Council determines that this ordinance is exempt from review under the
California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq.,
"CEQA ") and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 California Code of Regulations §§
15000, et seq., the "State CEQA Guidelines ") because it consists only of minor revisions and
clarifications to an existing municipal code and specification of procedures related thereto and
will not have the effect of deleting or substantially changing any regulatory standards or findings
required therefor. This ordinance is an action that does not have the potential to cause significant
effects on the environment.
SECTION 5 • The City Clerk is directed to certify the passage and adoption of this Ordinance;
cause it to be entered into the City of El Segundo's book of original ordinances; make a note of
the passage and adoption in the records of this meeting; and, within fifteen (15) days after the
passage and adoption of this Ordinance, cause it to be published or posted in accordance with
California law.
