City Animal Regulations Ordinance Adopted:

On November 16, 2010 the City Council adopted new livestock, bee and exotic animal regulations for our community’s residential neighborhoods that became effective on December 16, 2010. These new regulations were shaped by an eight month long public participation process.  Committed citizens with a wide range of opinions and ideas helped City staff craft regulations that reflected a cooperative community compromise.  A big thank you and round of applause goes out to the City Animal Review citizen participants.
