Council reviewed Ordinance 2026‑6 updating fence rules near the golf course and discussed temporary and political sign language; members asked for clarifications and agreed to hold further edits before first readings.

The council reviewed an update to the town’s fence ordinance (Ordinance 2026‑6) that would set new rules for fences adjacent to the golf course, including setbacks and differing side/back/front height rules. Several members questioned the proposed 5‑foot fence height, noting wildlife‑agency guidance that top wire height for wildlife‑friendly fencing is typically 38–40 inches and that HOA and golf‑course interests differ on the policy outcome.
