For those of you who are interested in such things, just thought I'd pass along the most recent version of Denver's proposed Food Producing Animals ordinance:
http://www.eatwhereulive.com/FPAord2B.pdf
If this ordinance passes City Council on May 16th, it will replace our current system which requires two separate permits just to get chickens ($150 the first year, $50 annual renewal) and also involves public notice where you have to post a big sign on your house announcing that you're going to get chickens. So, obviously, we really hope this improved ordinance passes.
If you live in Denver and want to help get it passed, email me at:

and let me know which council district you live in (or tell me your cross-streets, if you don't know your district). That way you can stay connected, and I'll periodically ask you to contact your City Councilperson to persuade them to pass the ordinance.
