PETS. AND IF YOU WERE OPEN TO THAT WE WOULD BRING SOMETHING FORWARD IN THE FUTURE COUNCIL
[00:08:30]
MEETING. SO I'M OPEN TO QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE ANY. QUESTIONS FOR KERRY. SO MY ISSUE IS SOMEBODY KIND OF PEPPER, HAVING THEIR OWN HOUSE AND. WHAT IT DOES OR HOW IT SMELLS OR HOW IT IS CLEAN, OR I MEAN, I DON'T REALLY CARE. I GUESS I THINK MOST OF US WOULD JUST CARE. I GUESS. TWO PIGS MAKE NOISES OTHER THAN OCCASIONAL ANCHOR CAN SQUEAL VERY LOUD, BUT PROBABLY NOT MORE THAN A DOG PARK. NO, NO, YEAH. AND SO I MEAN, SO THAT THAT'S MY ISSUE IS IF IT'S GOING TO BOTHER THE NEIGHBORS AND BEING A NUISANCE TO THE NEIGHBORS, THEN I'M NOT SURE IT'S WORTH IT. BUT IT DOESN'T. UM I MEAN, WHAT? WHAT KIND OF ISSUES CAN YOU SEE? FORESEE THAT MIGHT BE WITH NEIGHBORS. I MEAN, YOU KNOW, MAYBE SMELLS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. IF THEY'RE NOT PROBABLY, YOU KNOW, THEY. ARE THEY DON'T CLEAN WHEREVER THEY GOING TO THE BATHROOM AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO. I UNDERSTAND COUNCIL MEMBER ROGER. I THINK THAT WE WOULD DEAL WITH IT JUST LIKE WE WOULD DEAL WITH PEOPLE THAT HAVE DOGS THAT ARE MAINTAINED. YOU KNOW, THEY DON'T PICK UP AFTER THEIR DOGS OR THERE'S DOG BARKING OR. YOU KNOW, DEFINITELY, YOU KNOW, RUNNING AT LARGE. IF THE IF THE ANIMAL GETS OFF PROPERTY, WE WOULD DEAL WITH IT JUST THE SAME WAY AS ANY OTHER ANIMAL. IN FAC, IT'S KIND OF INTERESTING. THE COMPLAINT WASN'T ABOUT THIS RESIDENCE. PIG WAS ACTUALLY ABOUT SOME CHICKENS THAT WEREN'T MAINTAINED. IN AN ADJACENT HOME, BUT THE COMPLAINT CAME IN ABOUT SMELLING IT WAS INADVERTENTLY SUGGESTED IT WAS THIS ANIMAL,[00:10:01]
WHICH IT WASN'T SO WE FEEL VERY CONFIDENT THAT WE CAN ADDRESS THOSE ISSUES. OKAY? THAT'S WHY I HAVE NO PROBLEM SUPPORTING SOMEONE EITHER, ISN'T WE? MY WIFE OWNED ONE WHEN I MET HER.AND SHE'S STILL OWNS ONE IN ME, BUT, UM. YOU OVER £150. JUST BARELY. YOU MIGHT HAVE TO ISSUE I HAVE NO ISSUE WITH. SO THE OTHER THE OTHER CITIES HAD 75 OR 95. YOU'RE YOU'RE SAYING WE HAVE TO BUMP THAT UP TO 150 BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE COUNCIL MEMBER ROGERS THAT IT'S UNFAIR THAT THE ONLY THING AND I WOULD JUST LIKE TO PIGGYBACK ON WHAT THE PRESIDENT WAS SAYING IS. I WANT PEOPLE TO BE CAREFUL THAT THEY DON'T TAKE THIS LIGHTLY THAT IF THEY GO GET A PIG THAT THEY UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS A POTBELLY PIG AND NOT A FARM PIG. THAT COULD BE UP TO 609 £100 BECAUSE WE COULDN'T ALLOW THAT. BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S GREAT IF IT IS A CERTIFIED POTBELLY PIG AND IT GOES POSSIBLY £5. IT'S £100. WE'RE NOW GOING TO ALSO RESIDENT TO GIVE IT UP. IT'S LIKE IF YOU BUY A PUPPY, AND YOU THINK IT'S GOING TO BE. MEDIUM AND IT'S A BIG PUPPY. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO? AND I FEEL LIKE AS LONG AS IT'S A PIG. THAT'S A POTBELLIED PIG, AND IT'S WITHIN THOSE GUIDELINES. I THINK IT'S FAIR TO SAY ONE OF THAT SIZE THAN TO AND IF IT GETS IF IT GETS HEAVY. YOU NEED TO GET RID OF IT. AND THE OTHER THING TOO. IS THAT AS I DID MY RESEARCH ON THIS, YOU KNOW, YOU FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS IS THE REASON THAT SOME OF THESE PIGS ARE SMALL IS BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT BEING FED APPROPRIATELY. THAT KIND OF UNDERNOURISHED. AND THAT CONCERN ME. I DON'T WANT SOMEONE STARVING THEIR PICTURES SO THAT THEY HAVE TO KEEP IT SO THEY COULD KEEP IN. AND I THINK I THINK YOU KNOW YOU REALLY THIS WAY, SO I WANTED TO BE FAIR TO RESIDENTS THAT GO IN WITH EYES WIDE OPEN AND DO THIS CORRECTLY. THANK ANYONE ELSE HAVE. I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE THIS IS GOING TO AFFECT. MOST OF THE HOMEOWNERS' ASSOCIATIONS WON'T ALLOW PIGS. SO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT HAVING CONTROL OF THAT? YEAH. SO I'M IN FAVOUR HAVING I DON'T. I DON'T EXPECT THERE'S GOING TO BE THIS WIDE RUSH OUT THERE AND GETTING PIGS AND I, ESPECIALLY AFTER OUR REN, READ THEIR GOD. YES WORSE THAN THE DOGS. YEAH COME ON AND VOLUNTEER FOR ME AS A PIG AMBASSADOR. SHE DOESN'T EXACTLY THAT'S THE WAY BECAUSE YES, I WOULDN'T WANT TO HAVE THAT RESPONSIBILITY. I'M A GRANDPARENT, MAN. I. PASS THOSE YEARS. KIDS? YEAH THAT'S THE YEARS OF TAKING CARE OF KIDS, BUT REALLY REFRESHING COMMENT.
THAT WAS THAT WAS A VERY THOUGHTFUL, RESPONSIBLE COMMENT THAT YOU TOOK YOUR THREE MINUTES TO USE FOR IT. WE CURRENTLY HAVE A SWINE EXCLUSIONARY ORDINANCE. YES. DO WE HAVE TO GET RID OF THAT? YEAH, WE WERE JUST WE WOULD MODIFY THIS WOULD MODIFY. SO LET'S SEE. WE HAVE CONSENSUS.
I AM FOR IT. I'M OK. HMM. I'M GOOD. GRADUATIONS WE'RE GOING TO MODIFY OUR ORDINANCE AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO KEEP YOU SO IT WILL BRING YOU BRING THAT BACK TO US, AND THERE WAS WELL YOU'LL WRITE IT UP. OKAY YES, THAT'S GREAT. WE'RE ALREADY WORKING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORD. HOLD ON. THANK YOU. IF. COUNCIL LIAISON UPDATES. ME DOWN THAT END. THANKS SO ANYBODY. AND WE
