Council reviews ballot language to allow backyard chickens; discussion moved to July
Summary
Council reviewed proposed ballot language to permit chickens in Rutland and postponed the agenda item to July; if voters approve in June, council will later consider implementing ordinances.
The Rutland City Council reviewed proposed ballot language to allow chickens in the city during its March 9 meeting and agreed to postpone the agenda item until July.
Council members noted that, should voters approve the ballot measure in June, the council would need to review and adopt ordinances to regulate chickens in the city. No ordinance language or specific regulatory details were adopted on March 9; the item was deferred for later consideration.
Next step: the council will revisit the item in July and, depending on the election outcome, prepare any necessary ordinances.
