Residents ask Georgetown council to revisit backyard chickens
Summary
At the May 5, 2025 Georgetown City Council meeting, residents Jewel Lorenzo and Larry Thompson asked the council to reconsider allowing backyard chickens; Mayor Darin Readnour said the issue had been discussed previously and could be added to a future agenda.
Jewel Lorenzo and Larry Thompson asked the Georgetown City Council on May 5, 2025, to reopen consideration of a city ordinance to allow backyard chickens.
Mayor Darin Readnour told the meeting the council had discussed the matter a few years earlier and declined to change the ordinance at that time because of concerns about other ordinance noncompliance. He said the council could place the topic on a future agenda for further discussion.
The request came during the public-comment portion of the evening’s meeting. No formal motion or vote on changing the chicken ordinance occurred at the session; the mayor only indicated the item could be scheduled for a subsequent meeting.
Next steps: the mayor said the council could add the topic to its next agenda for formal consideration.
