(A) Definition of kennel. The keeping of four or more dogs or cats on the same
premises, whether owned by the same person or not and for whatever purpose kept,
shall constitute a "kennel;" except that a fresh litter of pups or kittens may be kept for
a period of four months before that keeping shall be deemed to be a "kennel." Retail
businesses within the City Business District are excluded from this ordinance.
(B) Kennel as a nuisance. Because the keeping of four or more dogs or cats on the
same premises is subject to great abuse, causing discomfort to persons in the area by
way of smell, noise, hazard, and general aesthetic depreciation, the keeping of four or
more animals on the premises is herby declared to be a nuisance and no person shall
keep or maintain a kennel within the city. Retail businesses within the City Business

The 2009 legislative session changed the process by which fines generated through municipal
prosecution are distributed.
• As of July 1, 2009, State Court Administration began sending all the fine money that the state is not
entitled to directly back to the local towns and cities. The State continues to retain one third of the
fine revenue. It will be the cities responsibility to reimburse their municipal prosecution service
provider (Carver County Attorney) half of what the city received in revenue from the state.
• The Carver County Attorneys Office sent the City of Hamburg two Prosecution Contract
Amendments, one for 2009 and one for 2010.

penalties collected from July 1 to December 31, 2009. In January of 2010 the Office of the
Carver County Attorney shall invoice the City of Hamburg. The City of Hamburg will have
thirty days to remit one half of the funds distributed to the City of Hamburg by the State by
the State Court Administration.

o 2010 Prosecution Contract Amendment – The County shall be paid one third of all fines and

Organization asking a few questions concerning what the water level in the ditch by the city park has

o Has the ditch ever overflowed its banks in the area west of Martha Street?
o How high does the water get in the ditch during spring runoff and how long does it stay up?
o Have there been any rain events that caused the water level to significantly raise in the ditch –
either from city discharge of storm water or from water backing up in the ditch from
downstream areas? How long did it stay up?
