Council narrows fowl agreement language, approves chickens at 800 Main
During Old Business the council reviewed a draft yearly agreement for chicken owners and instructed staff to revise the form so it applies to all fowl rather than chickens only. The council requested the updated form return for consideration at the August meeting.

Separately, under New Business the council approved chickens at 800 Main St. following a motion by Larry McAlpin and a second by Brian Moore; the motion carried unanimously. The council subsequently approved a fence building permit for 800 Main St. The minutes do not include details about allowable flock sizes, setbacks, or enforcement mechanisms—those details were not specified in the transcript and will need to appear in the revised agreement.
