Council holds first reading on animal-code amendments covering licenses, impoundment and chickens
Summary
Ordinance 2026-04 received a first reading to amend Title 6 regarding animal licenses, impoundment references to a town animal shelter the town no longer has, keeping chickens, and animal traps; first reading only.
Mayor Wallace read Ordinance 2026-04 on Jan. 22, which amends Title 6 of the Town Code to address expiration of licenses and vaccinations for dogs and cats, remove references to the town animal shelter the town no longer has, and revise rules on impoundment, keeping chickens, and traps. The presentation indicated these changes reflect current town operations and the absence of a municipal animal shelter.
The item was presented as a first reading only; council did not adopt the ordinance at the meeting. Any final adoption would require subsequent council action and the record does not show details of operational changes or funding to support implementation.
