Summary

On March 11 the council amended Ordinance No. 2024-19 (beekeeping) to increase the required setback from property lines and from water sources from 5 feet to 10 feet; the amendment passed unanimously.

Clerk Barbara Allen read Ordinance No. 2024‑19 (amending Section 618.29 'Beekeeping') by title on March 11. Council President Tom Rounds moved to amend Exhibit A to change both the required distance from property lines and the required distance from a water source from 5 feet to 10 feet; Councilman Haase seconded the motion.

The council approved the amendment unanimously on roll call — Haase, Durichko, Palmisano, DeSouza, Kolezynski, Maruschak and Rounds voted aye — and the amendment was recorded as passing during the ordinance's second reading.

The meeting record shows the specific numeric change adopted (5 feet → 10 feet for both property line setback and water source distance). The transcript does not include additional on‑the‑record rationale from individual council members or public comment on the amendment.
