City officials will decide Thursday on whether the city will change how it regulates pets and sex offenders.

According to the agenda for Auburn City Council's upcoming business meeting, the council is scheduled to vote on proposed changes to the city's dog ordinance and to a local law restricting registered level-three sex offenders.

The dog ordinance has seen a handful of changes since the amendments were first proposed. Regulation of specific breeds were introduced before city officials opted to take them out. The new ordinance will still include a six-foot limit for dog leashes if passed in its current form.

The council's vote on the city's sex offender regulations will follow a a public hearing on the matter. The current law prohibits level-three offenders who have been convicted of crimes against minors from living or loitering within 500 feet of any day-care facility, school or park. The amendment would make the law apply to all level-three offenders, not just those convicted of offenses against minors.
