Krugerville council plays chicken with rules

Council member Stacey Sasser brought the fowl issue in Krugerville to council on June 25, sparking considerable discussion.

After Mayor Jeff Parrent handed Sasser the floor, she presented the premise. The city’s code of ordinances stipulated fowl must be house no closer than 200 feet from any residential structure, a number she believed was exorbitant.

“It doesn’t align with the size of our community or that we’re a farming community, and it doesn’t align with other likeness cities,” Sasser said. “Two hundred feet is way outside the scope of what other municipalities that are our size regulate.”
