Grand Forks might push chickens to roost elsewhere
Grand Forks residents need a permit to keep chickens on their property, but complaints to City Council President Dana Sande have prompted city leaders to consider an outright ban. 9:17 pm, Jun. 28, 2021 ×
Chickens in Grand Forks may need to fly the coop this summer.
After a resident’s birds ran afoul of neighbors, City Council members preliminarily voted 4-3 on Monday to ban people from keeping chickens within city limits. The council is set to meet again next Tuesday for the first of two definitive votes on the ban. Voting against were council members Katie Dachtler, Bret Weber and Ken Vein. In favor were Danny Weigel, Jeannie Mock, Kyle Kvamme and City Council President Dana Sande, who said he’s heard complaints from constituents in his ward about neighboring chickens, which, Sande said, can rile up dogs and other domestic animals.
(Grand Forks, ND) A pair of businesses in a bit of hot water after telling tobacco to minors last week.
The Grand Forks Police Department’s Education and Outreach Bureau, along with area under-age buyers conducted tobacco compliance checks April 15th. These tobacco compliance checks were done in compliance with SYNAR grant funding through the Grand Forks Public Health Department and the ND Department of Health.
The Police Department uses under-age buyers from the community who are under 18 years of age, even though the current Federal Law prohibits sales of tobacco products to buyers under 21 years of age.
The officers and under-age buyers checked 17 businesses within the city of Grand Forks that had tobacco licenses that were issued by the state of North Dakota. Of the 17 businesses that were checked there were two failures. These two failures had a citation issued to the clerk that sold the tobacco product. The store will also face an administrative sanction.
