Hi Rebecca,
Thank you for following up as promised.
Unfortunately the Public Comment portal still isn't working.
Please find my public comment below:
Dear City Council of Clovis,
As a proud resident and active member of our community, I am requesting to amend title 6 of the Clovis high risk individual, but having chickens in my backyard for the production of eggs for human consumption allows me and others to stay safe and healthy. Due to my chronic pain I am unable to visit the Farmers Market weekly and having backyard chickens gives me comfort and ease knowing ill be able to consume eggs as needed for my vitamin D and Choline intake. I am kindly asking we set policies and regulations in place to allow for backyard chickens.
Thank you for your time,
Sharon Santiago
