Stonington board to draft chicken-permit renewal rule with $75 monthly penalty for nonpayment
Summary
Trustees agreed to amend the village's chicken-permit ordinance to require renewal notices mailed the first Monday of each year, a 30‑day payment deadline and a $75 monthly penalty for confirmed nonpayment; the ordinance draft will be presented at the May meeting.
President Bruce Dowdy led a discussion about renewing chicken permits and amending the ordinance. The board agreed on language to require renewal notices mailed the first Monday of the new calendar year, a 30-day deadline for payment, and a $75 monthly penalty assessed for confirmed nonpayment while chickens remain on the property. The board directed staff to put the language into ordinance form for consideration at the May regular meeting.
No final ordinance was adopted at the April 6 meeting; the minutes record only the board's direction to draft the amendment and bring it back for formal approval. Enforcement procedures and notice logistics were to be developed by staff and the village attorney.
