Resident urges ordinance to limit practices attracting coyotes; council says targeted removals underway

During public comment a resident described repeated coyote sightings and at least one attack on a child and urged the village to adopt a broader ordinance prohibiting behaviors that attract coyotes. The resident said an individual on their property would not identify himself and expressed frustration with recurring animal-pack activity around local waterways.

Council responded that the village has engaged an expert to remove nuisance or aggressive coyotes and that removals have targeted animals that show aggression; the chair said staff have been tracking complaints and will continue to manage problem animals. The council thanked the resident for raising the issue and noted the village’s response actions.

No formal ordinance action was taken during the meeting; the comment was entered for staff awareness and potential follow-up.
