Discussion and Possible Recommendation of Resolution #1440 Authorizing an Advisory Referendum on Amending the Village Code Regarding the Keeping of Domestic Chickens (Hens) in Single -Family Residential Districts Hoeft reviewed Resolution #1440 Authorizing an Advisory Referendum on Amending the Village Code Regarding the Keeping of Domestic Chickens (Hens) in Single-Family Residential Districts. Hoeft added this Resolution would need to be approved by the Village Board upon recommendation of the Finance Committee for it to go to Advisory Referendum on the Spring Ballot. Once the results are Finance Committee Minutes January 6, 2026 H:\Minutes\Finance Minutes - 2026\Finance - January 6, 2026 - draft.docx determined after the election, any Amendment to the Village Zoning Code would need to go through the Ordinance process to be passed and codified. P. Duckart questioned, what is the Village gaining from this Advisory Referendum, asking if the outcome is to determine how many residents want to have chickens or how many residents are giving approval for residents to have chickens in the community. Donen responded stating that this is an opportunity to give the residents of the Village of Saukville a voice in changing the Village Zoning Code to have chickens on single-family residence. Hoeft reminded the Board that this is an Advisory Referendum, it’s up to the Board to determine how they want to use the information received. Hebein stated this will provide us with the data needed to see how the Village residents feel about allowing chickens. After discussion of the Resolution #1440, it was determined to add the wording “consider amending” to the final draft. The question will read as follows: “Should the Village of Saukville “consider amending” its Code of ordinances to allow residents to keep a limited number of chickens on single-family residential properties subject to a permit with regulations, including, but not limited to: prohibiting roosters; coop requirements (size, setbacks); and sanitation standards, to be specified in the ordinance?" The Board felt this would give the residents a clear understanding of the Advisory Referendum being placed on the April 7, 2026 Spring Election Ballot. Nowlen/P. Duckart made a motion to recommend Resolution #1440 Authorizing an Advisory Referendum on Amending the Village Code Regarding the Keeping of Domestic Chickens (Hens) in Single -Family Residential Districts as amended.
