On September 23 Bluffton Council voted on the first reading of a proposed ordinance to prohibit residents from keeping roosters in the Village.
The six council members were evenly divided on the subject, giving Mayor Richard Johnson the role of tie breaker. He voted yes, to add roosters to the list of banned animals. Another two readings of the ordinance will determine if it is made law.
The September meeting of the Bluffton Exempted Village Schools Board of Education included an introduction of foreign exchange students, approval of supplemental contracts and the 8th grade trip to Washington D.C., as well as staff reports.
Rooster nuisances did not return to Bluffton Council discussions at the regular meeting of September 9. Topics addressed included the most recent draft of proposed Accessory Dwelling Unit zoning, the opportunity to fill in gaps during the fall tree planting program and ways to better utilize Bluffton Airport.
