(KNZA)--The Horton City Commission is considering a possible ordinance that would allow chickens in town.

The issue was discussed when the Commission met March 3.

There's been an online survey showing overwhelming support, a signature petition of those against it, along with letters for and against allowing chickens in town.

The Commission discussed the pros and cons to passing the ordinance.

According to the unofficial meeting minutes, it was the consensus of the Commission that it would be best to hire a code enforcement officer before passing such an ordinance. Police Chief Dennis Entriken and Commissioner Avery Thornton will put together a job description to present at the next meeting.

In other business, the Commission approved an ordinance that will allow golf carts and utility vehicles to be operated afer dark as long as they have prior lights.

Mayor Bryan Stirton read a proclamation honoring police officer Loren Lossman, who died unexpectly on January 27th. The proclamation designates January 27th as Loren Lossman day in the city. Signed and framed proclamations were presented to Chief Entriken on behalf of the Police Department and Lossman's family.

Also following an executive session, the Commission voted to offer the Mission Lake caretaker position to Todd and Kimberly Hile.
