The goal is 500 right now. Anything past 500 shows good community support. I was hoping maybe we could get it to 1000 but it’s a lot harder than I thought. I’d be happyc though, if we land past 500, maybe 750
The councilor only wants to reintroduce it after the election, election is in November. So I guess we have until after November. I would like it to be brought up again before that, especially if we reach our goal, but if the councilor wants to wait there’s not really anything I can do. And I get...
Day 3 and I’m at 175 signatures. First day broke 100.
I’d say that’s pretty good. Goal right now is 500 but ultimate goal is 1000. Some say it’s a stretch but I think it’s doable. That’ll really show the council that people want this. They will have a hard time going against what the people want.
I’m working on a new proposal, and I started an online petition this morning that already has nearly 50 signatures in a few hours.
Since they didn’t like by-right, and special permits are just absurd for a couple backyard hens (months long process, hundreds of dollars, still chance to be...

Yes, I’ve been meaning to update.
Bad news.
After all that, after our team worked so hard to put together an ordinance that had positive changes… it didn’t go through. The most recent update genuinely had every change to make it very likely to pass. Everything they wanted changed about it, we...
Literally what I was thinking. It already took long enough to get it into the committee and have all the required hearings. Now we just have to wait but I am hopeful and not very worried.
I really appreciate that! I was honestly shocked that more people didn’t show up to the hearings, but I...
I never knew button quail eggs are so small!!!
Large chicken egg — button quail egg
also, I just got an update today- June 23 is first vote, whatever that means. Implication is that there will be a second vote.
Forgot to update! The city council hearing didn’t go as well as we had hoped. We received a lot more pushback from the council and again, one person from the public spoke against while there was still a handful of people from the public that spoke up in favor.
The city council was mostly worried...
