Council reads ordinance to update animal code after town closed its animal shelter
Summary
Mayor Wallace read Ordinance 2026-04 to amend Title 6 (Animals) covering license expirations, removing references to the town's animal shelter the town no longer operates, rules on keeping chickens, and animal capture provisions. The item was introduced at first reading.
At the Jan. 22 meeting Mayor Johann Wallace performed the first reading of Ordinance 2026-04, which would amend multiple sections of Title 6 (Animals). The changes address expiration and vaccination requirements for licenses, remove references to an animal shelter the town no longer operates, revise impoundment/adoption provisions, update rules on keeping chickens, and adjust animal capture/trap language.
The minutes record the first reading only; there is no adoption vote or detailed discussion in the record. The police chief and town attorney are listed as presenters on the agenda; the minutes do not capture specific language changes or indicate whether alternative enforcement or sheltering arrangements were discussed.
