She mentioned the <br />Boulder County matching grants available for energy. Dave said he was planning on <br />presenting two or three of the grant options to the City and asking which they would like to <br />pursue, if any. <br /> <br />VI. Urban Chickens - (Mark, Mary Ann) <br />Mark read a summary of local regulations that Andy had developed. (Attached) <br /> <br />Mary Ann provided some background on the chicken issue. A white paper for all aspects of <br />urban agriculture was determined to be too comprehensive for Council to work on in 2013. <br />They decided to only address urban chickens this year and asked LSAB to develop a white <br />paper on that topic. Mary Ann is working with Troy Russ in the Planning Department in <br />developing the paper. <br /> <br />Mark asked the members of the public if they had raised chickens before. Meg stated that <br />she had raised hens previously with no problems except the dog next door. <br /> <br />Dave asked guests how they felt about slaughter - most agreed that outside slaughter <br />should be prohibited. <br /> <br />Mary Ann suggested that we work with the humane society and publicize it as a source for <br />obtaining chickens. <br />
