*Discussion and Recommendation: Standards for keeping chickens
Trustee Constant stated that we need to make some changes to this ordinance. His suggestion was to reduce the number of chickens to 5 or 6, no use of extension cords and limit the number of licenses. They would also have to renew every year with an inspection required. The yearly renewal fee would cover the cost of the inspection. Everyone agreed. Trustee Constant advised everyone to read over the paperwork that was given and bring further questions or ideas to the next Committee of the Whole meeting.
Streets & Alleys
No Report.
Buildings, Grounds & Parks
Trustee Kula stated that Ceneca had received a couple of bids regarding the fence needed around the water tower and would like it to be put on the next Regular Board Meeting on April 10th. Chief Gettemy spoke up and suggested that concrete barriers would also be a good idea. A fence is not going to stop a car if they go through it. Trustee Gayhart stated that was a good idea. Trustee Kula stated he would speak with Ceneca about getting prices for that as well.
Water & Sewer
No Report.
OPEN DISCUSSION
None.
PUBLIC COMMENT
None.
