<br />
<br />(a) Except as otherwise provided by this ordinance or by any other law, the owner or person entitled to the
<br />control or custody of any animal impounded may, at any time before the sale or other disposition thereof,
<br />redeem the same by paying all proper fees assessed by Animal Control Services. Animal Control Services
<br />shall issue to the owner duplicate receipts for the amount of the fee paid.
<br />
<br />(b) Upon redemption of any impounded unaltered animal, the owner will be required to pay a spay/neuter fee
<br />in the amount of $35.00 in addition to the impound fees imposed under section 6.04.290, Such fee shall be
<br />refundable upon proof of spay/neuter of the animal within thirty (30) days of the redemption date. Any
<br />unaltered animal impounded twice or more within a three-year period shall be altered at the owner's expense
<br />prior to redemption. At the option of the owner, required spaying or neutering may be performed by a private
<br />veterinarian.

<br />of such petition and shall be subject to the provisions of section 6.04.190, After the hearing, the hearing
<br />officer may require that the animal be spayed or neutered at the owner's expense, unless the hearing officer
