Council schedules public hearing on revised animal limitations, discusses pigs and small animals
Summary
Council reviewed edits to the animal‑limitations ordinance—removing a broad 'other small animals' category and adding a prohibition on pigs—heard questions about chinchillas and scheduled a public hearing in August to allow public input before adoption.
The Corinne City Council reviewed proposed revisions to its animal‑limitations ordinance and voted to forward the matter to a public hearing in August. The changes discussed included removing a catch‑all 'other small animals' category and adding a prohibition explicitly mentioning pigs.
Members asked clarifying questions about specific animals. One council member asked, "I'm just wondering why chinchillas," and the group discussed whether chinchillas would be considered indoor pets or regulated as outdoor animals. Council directed staff to publish the proposed ordinance and set a public hearing so residents can comment before any adoption.
The hearing will allow residents to weigh in on the proposed changes, including the scope of prohibited animals and any exceptions. No final ordinance was adopted at today’s meeting; the matter moves to the public‑hearing phase.
