Woodbury City Council Meeting 10-7-26

The Woodbury City Council’s regular meeting on October 7, 2026, included a proclamation for Coins for K9 Month and the swearing-in of two firefighter/EMTs. Public Safety Director Jason Posel said the city’s support for the positions strengthens staffing, mutual aid, and response coverage; no related contract or purchasing decision was discussed. During open forum, residents urged the city to end its Flock automated license-plate-reader camera contracts and hold a public hearing and recorded vote. No council action on the cameras or contracts occurred. Consent agenda items 6A–6D were approved by roll-call vote, but the transcript does not specify their contents.

A public hearing began on a proposed ordinance allowing backyard chickens in R4-zoned areas, with permit, inspection, enclosure, and property requirements. Staff described a proposed $75 initial permit fee, with fees to be added to the fee ordinance later; the Planning Commission had recommended denial and further surveying. After a council member experienced a medical emergency, the council voted to continue the open public hearings and table action on the scheduled items until October 21, 2026, then adjourned. The chicken ordinance and any associated fee decision therefore remained unresolved. No procurement activity, contract award, or vendor selection was identified.
