Council updates animal code, removes references to town animal shelter and adjusts rules for chickens and traps
Summary
Ordinance 2026-04 revises Title 6 (Animals) to remove references to a town animal shelter the municipality no longer operates, adjusts licensing/vaccination provisions, and updates rules on chickens and traps. The council adopted the ordinance on second reading.
Huachuca City’s Town Council on Feb. 12 adopted Ordinance 2026-04, making multiple amendments to Title 6 of the town code concerning animals.
The ordinance updates Chapter 6.05 (Dogs and Cats) to address license expiration and vaccination requirements, removes references in Chapter 6.10 (Impounding) to an animal shelter the town no longer has, revises adoption/impoundment provisions, adjusts rules in Chapter 6.15 on keeping chickens, and amends Chapter 6.30 concerning traps. The item was presented by the Police Chief and Town Attorney; Johann R. Wallace moved adoption and Christy Hirshberg seconded, with the motion passing unanimously.
The transcript records the topics covered by the ordinance but does not include detailed enforcement procedures or fee adjustments; those operational details will be handled administratively by the Police Department under the revised code.
