Neodesha adopts 2025 Uniform Public Offense Code, bans barbed wire and above‑ground electric fences in residential areas
Summary
The Board adopted Ordinance No. 1828 to incorporate the League of Kansas Municipalities' 2025 Uniform Public Offense Code with a local amendment banning barbed wire and above-ground electric fences in residential and local business zones; Section 10.29 (violation of a public health order) was omitted.
The Neodesha Board of Commissioners on Dec. 10 adopted Ordinance No. 1828 to incorporate the "Uniform Public Offense Code" (UPOC), 2025 edition, published by the League of Kansas Municipalities. City Administrator Jones presented the ordinance and noted a local amendment deleting barbed wire and above-ground electric fences from eligible fencing in residential and local business zones, and the omission of Section 10.29 (violation of a public health order). "Commissioner Banzet moved to approve Ordinance 1828 as presented," the minutes record; Commissioner Truelove seconded and the motion carried.
The ordinance directs that one official copy of the UPOC be stamped "Official Copy as Adopted by Ordinance No. 1828" and filed with the City Clerk for public inspection. Ordinance No. 1807 and any conflicting ordinances are repealed. The regulation concerning barbed wire and above-ground electric fences appears as the city-specific amendment to Article 10, Section 10.13. The ordinance takes effect upon publication in the official city newspaper.
