Council updates animal code, removes references to town animal shelter
Summary
Ordinance 2026-04 amends Title 6 (Animals) to change license/vaccine expiration rules, remove references to an animal shelter the town no longer has, and revise rules on chickens, impoundment, and traps. The council adopted the ordinance unanimously.
Huachuca City adopted Ordinance 2026-04 on Feb. 12 to amend multiple sections of Title 6 (Animals). The ordinance updates expiration rules for licensing and vaccinations, removes references related to the town’s former animal shelter, modifies provisions on impoundment and adoption, adjusts rules governing keeping chickens, and addresses animal capture traps. The motion to adopt the ordinance was moved by Johann Wallace and seconded by Christy Hirshberg; the council approved the ordinance by unanimous motion.
The ordinance was presented by Police Chief/Town Attorney (recorded in the minutes as Police Chief/Town Attorney). The transcript records the ordinance text and adoption actions but does not include a verbatim floor quote for this item. The change reflects operational updates now that the town no longer operates an animal shelter.
