Mike Russ Porter said the South Ogden City Council approved the city budget at a recent meeting and voted 4–1 to permit backyard chickens under a new ordinance.
Porter told residents staff is drafting a permitting form this week and that "permits are free, but you will need a permit," adding that the city will publish the ordinance details and any restrictions in the next newsletter. The mayor's message did not include the exact language of the ordinance or the names of council members who voted yes or no.
The council's budget approval was announced alongside the chicken vote; Porter did not provide the budget amount or fiscal-year specifics in the recorded update. He said the permitting process will allow staff to give property‑specific parameters so residents remain in compliance.
