Council holds first reading of animal code amendments after town shelter closure
Summary
The council performed first reading of Ordinance 2026-04 to amend animal licensing, impoundment references after the town’s shelter closure, rules for chickens, and traps; the changes reflect that the town no longer operates an animal shelter.
On Jan. 22 the Huachuca City council conducted the first reading of Ordinance 2026-04, which proposes amendments to Title 6 (Animals). The ordinance addresses expiration of licenses and vaccinations, removes references to the town's animal shelter (which the minutes say the town no longer has), adjusts impoundment and adoption language, clarifies rules for keeping chickens, and updates rules concerning traps and animal capture. Mayor Johann Wallace performed the first reading; the Police Chief and Town Attorney were noted in the agenda item header.
The minutes record only the first reading; they do not include public testimony specifically on this ordinance, nor a schedule for its next reading or final adoption.
