The Clatsop County Board of Commissioners is seeking public input on a proposed ordinance banning public displays of elephants and exotic animals within the county.
The board will hold a public hearing on the ordinance at its Wednesday, Nov. 30 meeting beginning at 6 p.m. at the Judge Guy Boyington Building, 857 Commercial St., Astoria.
Following the public hearing the commissioners will consider whether to place the ordinance before county voters in the May 2012 primary election.
Ordinance 11-13 would prohibit the display of elephants and exotic animals in circuses and other entertainment venues. Rodeos and horse shows, 4-H and FFA events and educational displays would be exempt from the ban. The ordinance would cover only the unincorporated portion of the county.
For more information, including the full text of the proposed ordinance, view the Nov. 30 board agenda at www.co.clatsop.or.us.
