Fitchburg Housing Authority approves updated Companion Animal Policy
Summary
The board unanimously approved a revised Companion Animal Policy after commending the advisory committee and discussing implementation timelines; the record notes the update draws from the existing policy with researched language.
The Fitchburg Housing Authority voted unanimously April 29 to adopt an updated Companion Animal Policy. Commissioner Thomas Hughes moved approval and Commissioner Janice M. Spellane seconded; the board commended Policy & Grants Manager Brianna Boulay and the advisory committee for their work.
Board discussion covered implementation timelines and scenarios for applying the policy. Commissioner Hughes asked whether legal counsel had reviewed the policy; the record states the revision was based on the existing policy with additional researched language, but the transcript does not record a specific legal opinion or cite a reviewing attorney.
The updated policy and its timeline for implementation were approved by a unanimous vote; staff will follow up on steps needed to implement the changes with tenants and property managers.
