He stated that he owns two goats and they are for his children’s 4-H project. He admitted he knowingly broke the ordinance. He said can the council not make an amendment to allow for 4-H projects. He said other places allow it. He said that they will be going to market in October. Kelli McCarty said only one person had complained. Brenda Thompson asked how large the pen was. He said 8 X 5. Tim Smith asked if they had goats last year. They said yes from July to October. Kelli McCarty said council member Chad has chickens. Brenda Thompson said that Chad Cook was not in violation of the ordinance. Bruce Altznauer stated we can’t change it tonight. Debbie Kilgore advised the council that this issue last year was the reason former mayor Knight went to Planning and Zoning because the ordinance basically said only dogs and cats were allowed in Rutledge unless it was zoned agriculture. That is the reason for the change but their lot is still not large enough. Bruce Altznauer made motion to table the issue until next month and consult with Chuck Jarrell and the City Attorney. Tim Smith seconded, all voted in favor and motion carried.
