The city council reversed direction on the Splash Pad. However, the city ordinances continue to restrict residents on issues of using their land to create housing options or temporary stay alternatives along with raising chickens.
Mary Hathaway stood up to address the ownership of chickens within Deer Park city limits. There had been flyers posted around town and posts on social media to gather support for the meeting held on July 20th. The room was packed with some people standing in the halls that wanted to be a part of this discussion and hear the response of council members along with city staff. Mayor Tim Verzal has asked Mary Hathaway to represent the group in favor of chickens; she accepted the role with the support of those in attendance who thought it was an eggs-cellent idea.
Passionate speeches were given by a number of city residents about how the City Council makes new laws. They spoke about communication and retaining the system the city currently has now.

Spring means baby season on the farm, and who can resist those cute little babes? Before running out and filling up the yard with little ones, take quick stock of the surroundings to ensure that they will have everything they need. Food, water, space, safety, and companionship are among the items that need to be considered.
