She noted this breed was introduced to the United States from Europe in 2000. She commented 21 years later there are only 11 breeders registered in the United States and she has recently become number 12. She commented further on the history of this duck breed and noted her birds eat ticks, beetles, slugs, snails, grasshoppers and mosquitos. She stated during the summer months she hatches out ducklings and the superior birds remain in her flock or are sold to other farms. She discussed how much care she takes with her flock and requested the Council consider a conservation variance for her property, noting she has three-fourths of an acre of property. Mayor Niedfeldt-Thomas requested further information from staff regarding a conservation variance. City Manager Massopust reported the City does not currently have a variance process in place for fowl. He explained the options would be to create a variance process, to adjust City Code or to do nothing. Approval of Agenda Approval of Agenda Approval of the May 25,2021 Council Agenda.
