Ordinances & Code

Requires domestic animals on public property to be leashed. Amended 2012 to formally exempt raccoons after enforcement was deemed 'not realistic at this time or any foreseeable time.'

Designates May 14 as Li'l Sebastian Remembrance Day. City flags are flown at half mast (5,000 candlepower memorial beacon optional, weather permitting).

Regulated fountain beverage sizes after public health review found the smallest available soda ('Child-Size', 64 oz.) was 'roughly the size of a two-year-old child, if liquefied.' Portions above 128 oz. now require a signed waiver.

Prohibits bathing, laundering, or the rendering of animal fats in municipal fountains. Enacted in response to a specific incident.

Formalizes the absorption of the former town of Eagleton into the City of Pawnee, including debt assumption, service integration, and the renaming of Eagleton Hills to 'Pawnee Hills (East Annex).'

Prohibited profanity within 50 feet of a church, school, or waffle establishment. Repealed 1998 on First Amendment grounds.
