During public comment, a resident identified in meeting records as Michael Anderson urged the council not to adopt the police chief’s recommendation to impose a flat limit of six chickens across all residential zones and lot sizes. Anderson argued the goal of law should not be to make enforcement easier at the expense of property rights and said officers can check lot size via county plat records before issuing citations: “The goal of law shouldn't be to sacrifice citizens' rights for the ease of law enforcement,” Anderson said.

Separately, several residents raised traffic-safety concerns at the Canyon Road and 620 South intersection near Springville High School. Natalie Marvin described crosswalk lights as “barely visible,” called the roadway “very wide,” and urged measures such as narrowing, added visibility, or a 4-way stop to slow traffic and protect students. Tara Orton, a school bus driver, told the council she drives the intersection three times daily and recommended a 4-way stop or other traffic-control measures because the current design creates hectic conditions.

Council members thanked commenters and noted the issues for staff follow-up. The meeting record shows no formal council vote on a chicken-ordinance change or immediate action ordered for the intersection during this session; both items were presented as public comments and citizen requests for consideration.
