Robert Hane proposes goat rental to clear brush on city property
Summary
A visitor, Robert Hane, presented a proposal to the City of Darien council to rent goats for brush-clearing; the council recorded the presentation but took no action at the May 19 work session.
Robert Hane presented a proposal to the City of Darien council at its May 19 work session to rent goats for clearing brush. The minutes record the visitor presentation item but do not include details about the proposed contract, costs, or specific properties affected.
The proposal was listed on the meeting’s visitor presentation agenda and was noted by the clerk’s minutes; the record does not show a formal motion, vote, or staff assignment to pursue the idea. No further materials or cost estimates are attached to the minutes.
The council discussed routine agenda items for the May 20 regular meeting later in the session, but the minutes explicitly state “no action was taken” on the agenda items during the work session. The goat-rental presentation remains an item for possible follow-up at a future meeting if the council directs staff to return with details.
The work session closed for an executive session on personnel and real estate later that evening; the minutes do not indicate any confidential executive-session action tied to the goat proposal.
The minutes do not specify next steps or a date for further consideration of the goat-rental idea.
