During a recent government meeting, city officials discussed the scheduling of upcoming meetings and addressed community concerns regarding coyote control.

The meeting began with a review of pressing matters for the upcoming September session. Staff confirmed that no urgent issues had arisen that would necessitate a special meeting before the scheduled date. The council deliberated on the potential cancellation of the August 20 meeting, ultimately deciding to cancel it unanimously. Officials noted that if any unforeseen emergencies occurred, they would need to consider the implications of holding a special meeting, particularly regarding the introduction or adoption of ordinances, which cannot be addressed in such sessions.

In a separate discussion, Councilmember Hicks raised concerns about increasing coyote sightings in the area. Staff responded by highlighting the existing coyote tracker program, which operates independently from Los Angeles County. They assured the council that information about the coyote tracker would be made more accessible to residents through the city’s website and social media channels. Additionally, staff proposed distributing flyers in local parks to inform the community about how to report coyote sightings effectively.

The meeting concluded with a unanimous vote to move forward with staff recommendations regarding the coyote control program, reflecting the council's commitment to addressing public safety and community concerns.
