Knob Noster aldermen adopt ordinance updating chicken-enclosure rules

The Knob Noster Board of Aldermen voted unanimously Tuesday to adopt an amendment to the municipal code that changes rules for chicken enclosures.

Alderman Dennis moved to pass Bill No. 020425-A — "An Ordinance Amending Municipal Code, Chapter 205, Animal Regulations, Section 205.220 Chicken Enclosures, Subsection F, Henhouses, Chicken Tractors, and Runs (2) (3)" — and Alderman Palmer seconded. After a brief discussion the board approved the ordinance by roll call vote, 6-0. The ordinance was assigned number 917.

The motion to approve the ordinance was made and seconded on both first and second readings by title only, and the roll call recorded Aldermen Palmer, Thering, Stauffer-Baum, Dennis, Byerly and Charrette voting "aye." The transcript records the motion, the vote tally and the ordinance number; it does not include the text of the adopted code changes or detail about how the rules were altered.

Alderman Dennis led the motion to adopt the ordinance; Alderman Palmer seconded. The board did not record any abstentions or no votes.

Next steps: the ordinance was assigned No. 917 at adoption. The transcript does not record implementation guidance or an effective date for the change.
