CALL TO ORDER 1. Roll Call The meeting was called to order at 6:30 p.m. II. PUBLIC HEARING(S) 1. Proposed Interim Ordinance #75 Chair Hanson opened the public hearing at 6:31 p.m. Ms. Moore-Sykes explained that the purpose of the public hearing was to discuss the implementation of an interim moratorium ordinance and noted the moratorium would give the City an opportunity to research the issues involved with slaughterhouses and allow the City to make an educated and determined stance on the issue. She then indicated that public comment could be taken with regard to the ordinance but comments concerning the issue of slaughterhouses or butcher shops could not be taken. Chair Hanson indicated he would like to define custom or ritual butchering and the word sacrifice under definitions and in the body of the Ordinance. Commissioner Kilian commented that he did not see a reason to prevent a butcher shop from coming to town as that is entirely different than a slaughterhouse.
