The Town Council adopted Ordinance 2026-04 to update several sections of the Town Code, Title 6 "Animals." Changes documented in the minutes include expiration rules for licenses and vaccinations, removal of provisions referencing the town's animal shelter (which the town no longer operates), revisions to impoundment and adoption language, new or clarified rules on keeping chickens, and updates related to animal-capture and traps. Johann R. Wallace moved adoption and Christy Hirshberg seconded; the motion passed.
Minutes identify the Police Chief and Town Attorney as responsible for aspects of the item but do not record a detailed implementation schedule. The adoption reflects code housekeeping to match current town operations (no municipal shelter) and to adjust operational rules for animal control.
