Residents oppose proposed dog ordinance changes; Silver Creek board delays action
Summary
Seven residents urged the board not to change the township dog ordinance; the board tabled the proposed ordinance changes pending attorney guidance and will revisit the item at a future meeting.
Chair Mike Helman reopened the Silver Creek Township Board of Supervisors meeting on Feb. 5 and allowed public comment on a proposed revision to the township dog ordinance. Seven residents spoke in opposition to any change, and the board decided to delay further action until it receives communication from the township attorney.
The board approved the amended agenda — a motion by Supervisor Andy Christensen with a second from Supervisor Sandy Forsman — and explicitly tabled the dog ordinance item. Helman told residents the board would not take action on their remarks at this meeting and that the ordinance discussion would resume at a later date after the attorney’s input.
The public comments occurred during the open-forum portion of the meeting; the minutes record no specific textual quotes from individual residents. The board did not make substantive changes to the ordinance at this meeting and gave no timeline for when attorney guidance will be available.
