The Town of Randall ordinance prohibits keeping of non-domesticated animals such as chicken on property of less than 2 acres of green space. Jon Blakeman: Concerned as to why the meeting date was changed. Neighbors on both sides of his residence have chickens and he has no problem so long as the chickens are taken care of and the land size is not a problem. Katherine Salberg: Read a statement. Her family has lived in this area for over 60 years. They raise chickens for health reasons as they like to know what is in their food, not for economic gain. She would like to see the ordinance changed to allow at least 1 rooster. Roosters provide means to increase their flock size. Roosters also provide protection from hawks and other wildlife prey. Has not had any complaints about their chickens. Ivan Purnell: Stated he has chickens and does not have a problem with them. It seems every town has problems with Roosters. Unfortunately, it is the county ordinance that does not allow roosters. Thomas Knenier Sr.: Would like senator Johnson to call him and if he does call him, he will take care of the roads. Thomas lives next to Salberg’s. The property behind him has roosters and chickens and they are no problem. If the ordinance changes, he will remove everything from his property and the whole property will sit empty. Charlie Salberg: Agreed with Katherine Salberg. 7.
