Public Hearing Notice
Notice is hereby given that a public hearing will be held at noon on Thursday, February 12, HUB 309 at the UW’s Seattle campus. The purpose of the hearing is to allow all interested persons an opportunity to present their views, either orally or in writing, on the proposed new chapter for animal control – Chapter 478-128 WAC, the repeal of former animal control sections from Chapter 478-124 WAC, and housekeeping amendments to WAC 478-108-010.
The UW’s animal control rules have not been amended since 1973, prior to the University’s growth to a multiple-campus system, and contain references that are exclusive to the city of Seattle’s animal enforcement codes. These proposed rules are revised to be relevant in all University of Washington locations; to update language concerning guide dogs and service animals based upon current legal definitions, and add service animals in training; and to include working animals under the control of University employees or other security and emergency personnel.
Advance copies of the proposed WAC rules may be obtained by contacting Rebecca Goodwin Deardorff, Director of Rules Coordination, Box 355509, Seattle, WA 98195 or by phone at 206-543-9219. Copies will also be available at the public hearing.
Persons wishing to provide written comment may submit their remarks to Ms. Deardorff at the above address, by e-mail to rules@u.washington.edu, or by fax to 206-221-6917, by February 12.
To request disability accommodation for this hearing, contact the UW Disability Services Office at least 10 days in advance of the event at: 206-543-6450/
