M. Gallo –
• People in the community are talking about the coyotes on social media
• My comment to everyone is do not walk on the golf course
A. Pozzi –
• We called the Florida Game and Wildlife Commission for direction in ways to deal with the
coyotes. They indicated that the animals are not a threat to humans but can possibly be to small
pets. The commission does not trap them and recommended to us that we use air horns as they do
not like loud noises. They also said that it is illegal to feed them and anyone doing so is subject to
arrest.
• We will have signs printed stating that coyotes have been spotted in the area, please do not feed
them
M. Mennes –
• If you keep having complaints you will have to trap them
• The crepe myrtle tree is beautiful
