She <br />thinks we can make that a policy. <br />I\!ayor Grant asked if anyone is against using goats to remove buckthom. <br />City Administrator Jagoe said the context of that discussion is that our ordinance doesn't allow <br />for electric fencing. That is where rve would have to provide language in the ordinance to allow <br />the electric fence. <br />Councilmember Holden said they are not allowed to have goats, even temporarily. The policy <br />would say you can't have an electric fence. <br />Councilmember N{onson said everyone is all okay with the goats. She would like to see Staff <br />write some language and bring it back for Council approval. She doesn't think anyone is going to <br />fight the removal of buckthorn. <br />City, Administrator Jagoe said Staff will bring the use of City logo discussion back on <br />September 8. <br />Discussion ensued and Council agreed to postpone the cannabis discussion until the larvsuit in a <br />different city is resolved.
