Rockwood council declines to allow chickens but agrees to post proposed ordinance for comment
Summary
A motion to allow chickens in the city failed; the council unanimously directed the city administrator to post the proposed chicken ordinance on Facebook for public review and comment.
Rockwood’s City Council considered a proposed ordinance to allow chickens on Jan. 21 but did not adopt the measure. A motion to move forward with allowing chickens (M-019-25, moved by Council Member Slavin and seconded by Council Member Grzywacz) failed, with only Slavin and Grzywacz voting in favor.
After the failed motion, the council unanimously approved a separate motion (M-020-26) to have City Administrator Trush post the proposed ordinance on the city’s Facebook page to provide public visibility and invite comment. The minutes record that the posting direction passed without recorded opposition.
The minutes do not include the draft ordinance text or a timeline for further consideration; they record only the failed motion to adopt the policy and the subsequent unanimous vote to publicize the proposal online for public input. No formal adoption or ordinance number was recorded in the meeting minutes.
