Tonkawa council approves ordinance banning feeding of feral animals
Summary
The Tonkawa City Council approved a municipal ordinance prohibiting the feeding of feral animals and establishing associated fees; the measure was introduced by City Manager Nicholas Payne and approved on a recorded vote.
The Tonkawa City Council voted April 21 to adopt a municipal ordinance prohibiting the feeding of feral animals and to establish associated administrative fees. City Manager Nicholas Payne presented the proposal and said it responds to a growing feral-animal population in the community.
Councilman Charles Conaghan moved to approve the ordinance in proper format; the motion was seconded by Councilman Reece Simpson and passed on the recorded vote. The minutes note the ordinance includes fee provisions and a possible emergency clause, though the text of the ordinance in the record was described as the 'proper format' rather than being read in full.
The ordinance will be added to the Tonkawa Municipal Code and the council recorded its approval in the meeting minutes. Implementation details, including fee schedules and any emergency effective date, were not specified in the minutes and will be set by the city as the ordinance is codified.
