At their May council meeting, Beebe aldermen examined the Lonoke ordinance, the same one Cabot is considering, and decided they don't want to grandfather the dogs already in the city.
They asked City Attorney Mark Derrick to prepare an ordinance for the June meeting that would give owners 60 days to get rid of the dogs.
Some wanted the ban in effect almost immediately, but Alderman Les Cossey said if the pit bull owners were renters, they would need at least 60 days to find new housing.
Leonard Fort, the city's code-enforcement officer, said two families with
pit bulls, one from Lonoke and one from Des Arc, have moved to Beebe within the past three weeks.
"We have an abundance of pit bulls," Mayor Mike Robertson said about the
need to pass some version of the Lonoke ordinance.
