Council reads ordinance to update animal-code provisions after shelter closure
Summary
Mayor Wallace performed the first reading of Ordinance 2026-04 to amend animal-related provisions in Town Code Title 6, including license expiration, removal of references to the town animal shelter the town no longer has, and changes related to chickens and traps; no final vote was taken.
Mayor Johann R. Wallace conducted the first reading of Ordinance 2026-04 on Jan. 22. The ordinance proposes multiple amendments to Town Code Title 6 regarding animals: adjusting expiration rules for licenses and vaccinations, removing references to the town's animal shelter (which the minutes say the town no longer has), and amending sections on keeping chickens and on animal capture/trap provisions.
The item was presented by the police chief and the town attorney as a code update; the minutes do not record a final vote or adoption at the meeting. The ordinance will proceed through subsequent readings and required procedural steps for adoption and public notice.
