Assistant Director of Community Assets and Developmentl1'1 anning Director Gundlach was not aware of fines being apart of the citation process, unless ordered by the Court Councilmember Burg questioned if a license could be revoked for non- compliance. Assistant Director of Community Assets and Development/Planning Director Gundlach reported this would be an option for the City, noting it may be difficult to bring the property into compliance. City Manager Lotter stated that a case against a non -comp] iant property may receive a better judgement from the courts. Councilmember Bauman understood that one resident was keeping chicks in his home. She wondered how staffwould be able to see if this resident was complying with the Ordinance. For this reason, she supported a total ban on fowl. Mayor Jacobsen feared how staff would be burdened and impacted through the enforcement of this Ordinance. He was concerned with the fact that the State would not have fowl displayed at local County and State fairs. He was not comfortable making decisions that could be altered by the State and federal govemnnent. AMENDMENT: Motion by Councilmember Jacobsen, seconded by Councilmember Strub to amend Ordinance 834 to require existing fowl owners to register with the City within 90 days after the Ordinance is passed and published; and requiring future fowl owners to register immediately with the City. 3 Ayes, 2 Nays (Bauman and Mayor Jacobsen opposed }Amendment Carried AMENDMENT: Motion by Councilmember Strub, seconded by Councilmember Burg to amend Ordinance 834 to allow no outdoor butchering of fowl. Mayor Jacobsen explained that the proposed language would still allow chicken owners to slaughter chickens within an enclosure. He believed that the slaughtering and disposal of chickens did not belong in New Brighton. Councilmember Strub discussed the processing of putting down a family pet and did not believe that residents should have to drive into Mounds View in order to slaughter a chicken. Councilmember Bauman understood it was a slippery slope addressing the slaughtering of chickens. She just feared that disease could be spread through the animals and carcasses.
