"People need to get out, go for a walk and get some fresh air from time to time. In order to ensure everyone’s safety, we are asking our residents to please obey the Village's Leash Ordinance. If you take your dog for a walk remember it must be on a leash, and it is a violation of our local ordinance to simply allow your dog to roam free in the Village."
Lamb continued: "I have tasked the Animal Control and Patrol Officers to be on the lookout for violations. This will hopefully ensure that people can get out of their house for a while without fear of wandering pets. Thank You in advance for your help with this matter."
