STANFIELD — The Stanfield City Council plans to discuss the city’s process for allowing residents to keep livestock, poultry and bees in the city limits.

The council meets Tuesday, Aug. 17, at 6 p.m. at the council chambers, 150 W. Coe Ave.

City Manager Benjamin Burgener said the city has a permitting process for keeping livestock, including for bees, which the council wanted to take a look at possibly updating.

But in the course of that, he said, the council opted to consider if other parts of the local law need revising. For example, he said, perhaps the ordinance could exclude permits for smaller animals, such as rabbits.

The council is not making decisions at its meeting this week to overhaul the permitting process, Burgener said, but the talks could lead to such consideration. Updating the local law would involve public hearings, he said.

In another matter, the council is considering designs for street lights along Main Street, which is part of the Oregon Department of Transportation’s ongoing upgrades in the area.

Overall, Burgener said, this looks to be a rather mild meeting.
