The Laddonia Board of Alderman adopted a new animal ordinance following its second reading at the April 16 meeting.
Tom Ellis, the city attorney, conducted the first reading of the ordinance earlier in the meeting. On second reading the board voted by roll call: Dwayne Hogue — Yes; Jeremy Fendrick — Yes; Gary Garnett — Yes; Kevin Charlton — Yes. The minutes record the ordinance as approved by the board.
The ordinance was discussed on the agenda after routine approvals of March meeting minutes, monthly reports and the March warrant list, each approved earlier in the meeting by 4-0 votes.

The board’s adoption completes the procedural readings recorded in the minutes; the text of the ordinance and any effective date are not specified in the minutes and were recorded as "not specified." The city attorney performed the first reading and the board completed the second reading and adoption during the same session.
The board adjourned at 7:53 p.m.; the minutes do not list subsequent implementation steps or a publication schedule for the ordinance.
