Council advances amended fence ordinance in second reading
Summary
Pataskala City Council resumed second reading of Ordinance 2026-4514 to update fence definitions and regulations, approved an amendment by substitution after brief discussion and a roll call vote.
Pataskala City Council took up Ordinance 2026-4514 for a second reading and approved an amendment by substitution that updates the city’s fence definitions and regulations.
Jess, the clerk, read the ordinance, saying it would "amend Chapter 1203 definition, and Chapter 1279, fences of the codified ordinance of" Pataskala City. A council member moved to amend the ordinance by substitution and Mr. Galen seconded the motion. The motion to amend passed on a roll call vote recorded in the meeting as yes votes from K (Kim Shire), Leggett, Brooks, Lee, Empire and Galen.
The ordinance had been postponed at an earlier meeting to allow staff to review relevant fire district regulations; Scott Fulton told the council the agricultural fence exemption language requested previously has been added and staff saw no conflict with the fire district’s rules. Council members did not request further changes at the meeting. The presiding officer indicated the item will return to the council following the standard ordinance-adoption sequence.
The council’s action was procedural: the amendment by substitution was approved, and the body resumed the second-reading process. No final adoption vote on the ordinance as amended was recorded during the meeting.
