Residents make their case but don’t convince aldermen to vote on issue
City of Port Washington residents won’t be allowed to keep chickens in their yards.
Despite the appeals of five residents who spoke in favor of the idea of allowing people to raise chickens in the city, aldermen declined to even make a motion asking City Attorney Eric Eberhardt to draw up an ordinance for consideration.
Instead, after each alderman offered his position, they moved on to the next item on their agenda.
“If I make a motion to consider drafting an ordinance, it’s not going to pass anyway from what I hear,” Ald. Jim Vollmar said.
