KETTLERSVILLE — Chickens were a topic of discussion during the November meeting of the Kettlersville Council.

Resident Roger Williamson was present to discuss the chickens on his property. Solicitor Dan Bensman reviewed the village ordinance regarding chickens and shared that if Williamson agreed to keep the chickens in an enclosed area the non compliance issued should be rescinded.

Williamson agreed to keep the chickens in an enclosed area. The noncompliance letter was rescinded.

Shelby County Sheriff John Lenhart provided a log of patrol hours in October. He suggested that a resident that has had numerous calls to the Sheriff’s Office should be brought to the attention of the owner of the property.

Lenhart also noted that citations made within the village are sent to the Sidney Municipal Court, so the village should be seeing recoup of fine monies.

Sgt. Steve Schaffner Jr. gave a demonstration of the body cameras worn by officers on patrol.
