(This is the old Howe School building site). The entire city is zoned as a restricted residence other than the downtown business district.

Mayor Trueblood spoke to those present that they would be allowed 2 minutes to speak. There will be no foul language and all will have a chance to voice your concerns. If the meeting gets out of hand then he will adjourn. Kari Sanculi presented the council with a petition in support of backyard chickens. Fourteen individuals spoke to the council about their opinions for or against allowing chickens in the city limits. Some presented information to the council supporting their reasons why they should be allowed chickens. The city has had complaints about chickens within the city limits. The current city code does not allow livestock within the city limits. The definition of livestock in the Ogden city code includes poultry. Motion by Weber, seconded by Anderson to enforce the current city code and allow those who have chickens six months to remove them from the city limits.
Ayes: All Present, Motion Carried.
Council comments: Jason Weber has concerns about people not calling in locates before digging. If you are planning to do any type of digging please contact 811 Iowa One Call to have utilities marked. This is a free service and can be done online. Lori Anderson would like some educational information on recycling when the new building is ready.
Motion by Reimers, seconded by Ohlson to adjourn at 8:06 p.m.
Ayes: All Present, Motion Carried.
