Council considers exception allowing Northville Public School to keep chickens for instruction
Summary
At second reading council members discussed an ordinance creating an exception to the municipal code to allow Northville Public School to keep chickens in a school courtyard for educational purposes; the ordinance was introduced and a motion and second were made, but no final adoption is recorded in the transcript.
Council members reviewed a second-reading ordinance that would add an exception to the town code to allow Northville Public School to maintain chickens in a school courtyard for educational purposes. The mayor summarized the measure: “What this ordinance does is it align. It creates an exception for Northville Public School to maintain chickens for educational purposes in their courtyard,” the mayor said during discussion. Councilmember Sokolowski moved the ordinance and the council president seconded the motion. No subsequent roll-call or final-adoption result appears in the meeting transcript. Supporters framed the change as narrowly tailored to the school’s instructional needs; no comments in the transcript indicated opposition. The council did not record additional conditions or operational rules in the discussion excerpt; if the ordinance is adopted, staff will presumably provide implementing language and any required permits or inspections.
