Mayor Keeler reported the occupant of a Breslin Avenue property with an unauthorized "chicken house" pled guilty and paid $650 in fines. Going forward, the city will enforce a six-chicken limit and require any chickens be kept in a coop and run to prevent them from roaming.

Keeler presented the enforcement result as part of his regular update; no additional code changes were proposed on the floor during the meeting and council did not vote on the matter. The mayor framed the change as a clarification of ongoing enforcement rather than a new legislative action.
