Huachuca City updates animal code, removes references to former town shelter and revises chicken and trap rules
Summary
Ordinance 2026-04 updates Title 6 to address license expiration and vaccinations, removes references to a town animal shelter the town no longer has, and revises rules on chickens, impoundment and traps. The council adopted the ordinance unanimously.
The council adopted Ordinance 2026-04 at the Feb. 12 meeting to update the town’s animal control code (Title 6). The amendments address expiration of licenses and required vaccinations, remove references to the town’s former animal shelter, and modify provisions governing impoundment, adoption, keeping chickens and use of traps. The Police Chief and Town Attorney presented the item.
Mayor Johann Wallace moved to adopt the ordinance and Councilmember Christy Hirshberg seconded; the minutes record the ordinance as adopted without a recorded dissent. The minutes do not include the text of the revised code sections or a fiscal analysis of the changes. The ordinance was described as a set of updates tied to current operational realities (the town no longer operates an animal shelter) and regulatory housekeeping.
No public comment about the animal code changes is recorded in the minutes and the council did not record additional follow-up tasks beyond adoption.
