First reading held on animal-code amendments including removal of shelter references
Summary
Ordinance 2026-04 received its first reading to amend Title 6 (Animals) — addressing license expirations, vaccine rules, removing references to a town shelter the town no longer has, rules for keeping chickens, and trap-related language; the mayor performed the reading and no adoption occurred.
The council held the first reading of Ordinance 2026-04 to update multiple sections of the town's animal code.
The proposed amendments address license expiration and vaccinations; remove references relating to the town's animal shelter, which the minutes state the town no longer has; revise impoundment and adoption language; and modify rules concerning chickens and animal capture traps. Mayor Wallace performed the first reading; no vote to adopt was recorded at the meeting.
Because this was a procedural first reading, any adoption would require subsequent readings or action by the council.
