Forest Village Council Revisiting Ordinance Banning Hens and Other Animals

Forest Village Council agreed to review an ordinance that bans hens and other animals within the village.

Council recently passed the ordinance, but it was re-visited at this past Thursday night’s meeting.

Mayor Dean Hankins said that around 8 citizens addressed council asking that they reconsider the ban.

The mayor added that most were not opposed to banning roosters.

At the meeting on February 11, council members agreed a committee will review the ordinance and report its recommendations to the entire council at a future meeting.
