Hi All,
So, now I have an obsession with changing our local ordinances but I have never done anything like this before and need some mentors. I understand that I have to attend a meeting and at the beginning of the meeting fill out some paperwork in order to speak. I am assuming that the more information I am armed with that is pro-chicken is better than just going and saying...I WANT CHICKENS. What kind of stuff should I bring? Here's what I was thinking:
Examples of ordinances from neighboring towns
Research regarding positive things about keeping backyard chickens
Information showing that it will not spread diseases or foul odors, etc
Should I make a packet to hand out to the council members? Should I bring a petition signed by people who think we should change the rules? Do i just stand there and rattle off information? Will they ask questions?
Obviously I need some guidance here. Thank you for any insights, research, experiences, etc.
