The North Judson Town Council may decide whether to move ahead with an urban chicken ordinance tonight. Resident Sarah Burkett is scheduled to present a petition in support of the measure.
Back in July, council members said they’d consider allowing chickens in town, if Burkett could get signatures from 300 residents by the end of August. Chickens are currently prohibited under the town’s animal ordinance, but a dispute over whether Burkett was granted an exception to that rule has led to a renewed push to legalize chickens in general.
In other business tonight, the North Judson Town Council will get an update from Monty Timm Sr. on efforts to address safety concerns at 214 Lane Street. Council members will also consider resolutions to move ahead with financing for proposed water and sewer upgrades. They will also discuss updates to the council’s bylaws, including the addition of a council vice-president.
Tonight’s North Judson Town Council meeting begins at 6:30 at North Judson Town Hall, following a special session at 5:30. During that meeting, council members will work on the town’s 2018 budget with Eric Walsh from accounting firm Umbaugh and Associates.

Public Hearing Tonight for North Judson Sewer, Water Projects
Posted on August 21, 2017
Author Michael Gallenberger, WKVI
The North Judson Town Council will hold a public hearing tonight on proposed water and sewer upgrades. The town plans to pursue a loan through the State Revolving Fund, as well as grant funding from the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs, to rehabilitate the two water towers, add a well, and upgrade the existing well pumps, among other improvements.
North Judson is also planning $3.1 million in wastewater upgrades. That work will include modernizing the wastewater treatment plant and bringing the town’s combined sewer overflow into compliance with Indiana Department of Environmental Management regulations. The town hopes to get a 40-year bond through the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development Office to pay for that work.
Residents will have the chance to weigh in on the financial arrangements tonight at 6:00, before the regular town council meeting at 6:30.
