Huxley council hears mixed public views on removing breed-specific language from animal code
Summary
During a work session the council heard public speakers and council discussion about removing breed-specific language from Huxley Code Sec. 55.16; Mayor Kuhn directed staff to place the potential amendment on a future agenda for council consideration.
Members of the public and council members debated whether to remove breed-specific language from Huxley Code Section 55.16 during a work session on June 11. Speakers expressed both support for and opposition to eliminating breed-specific provisions, and Councilmember Rigler cited reference articles regarding pit bulls during his remarks.
After extended discussion, Mayor Dave Kuhn directed city staff to place the issue on a future council agenda so the full council may deliberate and decide whether to amend the code. The minutes record discussion and public comment but show no motion, vote or ordinance amendment adopted at this meeting.
Because the item was treated in work-session format, no formal action occurred and any ordinance revision would require a future agenda item, public notice and formal reading/vote under council rules.
