Council reads animal-code overhaul addressing licenses, chickens and shelter references
Summary
Huachuca City held first reading of Ordinance 2026-04 to amend Title 6 (Animals), including license expiration/vaccination provisions, removing references to the town's animal shelter, and rules on chickens and traps. No adoption occurred.
Mayor Johann Wallace performed the first reading of Ordinance 2026-04 on Jan. 22. The ordinance proposes comprehensive amendments to Title 6 (Animals): expiration of licenses and vaccination rules, removal of references to an animal shelter the town no longer maintains, updates to impoundment and adoption references, rules about keeping chickens, and changes related to animal capture and traps.
The minutes indicate the first reading occurred but do not show a vote to adopt the ordinance at that meeting. The record does not provide implementation dates, enforcement details, or where responsibility will rest for animal-control services following the removal of shelter references; those details are expected to be clarified in follow-up materials.
