| Townhall Session | 4.
Townhall Session President Craig noted for the record that Trustee Manton was at a work incident and Trustee Carter’s flight from New York was delayed. Ms. Barbara Bennett, 7310 Astor Avenue, a 33-year resident, addressed the Board regarding an open garbage dump in back of the apartments on Narcissus. She noted when she was in her backyard, all she could see was garbage and asked this area be cleaned up. She also asked what the ordinance was for cooking outdoors in front of the apartments as on weekends all you can see is BBQ smoke. She noted people were lined up on both sides of the sidewalks having neighborhood parties. As a result, she noted beer bottles and trash ended up on her lawn. She added parking was another problem associated with these parties. President Craig acknowledged her concerns and stated Code Enforcement would look into it. He also asked her if she was the Barbara Bennett that walked with Martin Luther King; she stated she was and President Craig stated it was an honor to have her with us. Mr. Hummel asked her if she had a specific address that it would be helpful to immediately follow-up. He also clarified the apartments were on Narcissus and she stated the apartments were on Astor Avenue, but the garbage dump was located on Narcissus. Mr. James Fuse, addressed the Board regarding extremely loud music from the SUV’s and pick-up trucks. He noted Elgin had an ordinance where there was a $500 fine and the vehicle was impounded on the spot and Chicago’s fine was $1,000. He asked some officers in town and no one was not aware of any ordinance and another thought it was a $50 fine. He asked for a steep penalty so it would only be given out once. Another issue he stated the Village was approving music on Sundays until 10:00 p.m. He stated there was a party on Sunday a few weeks ago and when he complained he was told they did have permission for amplified music until 10:00 p.m. Trustee Eby stated the music in vehicles was discussed before and he stated he would like to see an ordinance regarding this. President Craig thanked Mr. Fuse. President Craig stated a couple of years ago we were looking at block parties, amplified music, portable toilets, and disorderly private parties, but no action was taken. He asked that this be brought forth again for more dialog. Ms. Linda McCance Packham addressed the Board regarding her trip to Ghana, Africa. She stated one of the nicest parts of the trip was the mission to document pen pals with Hanover Park Primary, our namesake school. She stated Ms. Radcliff gave them each disposable cameras and it was wonderful to share those photos with the pen pals here. She again thanked the Board for the jerseys that were sent previously for their soccer games. President Craig thanked her for the update. |

| 5-A.21 Motion by Trustee Eby and seconded to Pass Ordinance O-08-43: Regulating the Managed Care of Feral Cats. Mr. Hummel summarized we had reviewed regulations regarding the care of feral cats and this ordinance was modeled after a similar ordinance in Cook County. He noted it established a structure to manage feral cats and it allowed a person to become a feral cat colony caretaker. He stated the said person must be sponsored by an approved animal humane society. He stated the desire of the ordinance was to treat the animals in a humane manner including vaccination, trap, neuter, and return with the intent to gradually reduce the colonies. He noted the ordinance also included if there was a situation where a nuisance was created, the Village would contact and work with the sponsor and caretaker. He continued if the nuisance was not abated, the caretaker could be cited. He stated the ordinance made it unlawful for an individual to intentionally feed or provide shelter for feral cats if they were not an authorized feral cat colony caretaker. |

Passed ORD O-08-43: Regulating the Managed Care of Feral Cats |
Comment
from the Board was it looked like we finally had something that
would work. President Craig asked if there were comments from the
floor. Megan Naylor addressed the Board regarding her 13 lb. Jack Russell dog that had been attacked by feral cats at her complex and it cost her family $800 for surgery. President Craig asked Chief Moser how this affected those in an apartment complex and Chief Moser stated it was addressed the same way regardless of whether in a single family home or apartment complex. He stated the person harboring feral cats would still have to be an authorized feral cat colony caretaker and if there were issues like those stated, the Police Department would contact the sponsor of the caretaker and require that the nuisance would be stopped or the caretaker would be removed as an authorized caretaker. Bill & Jamie Patrick addressed the Board stating this ordinance was not enough. He stated their children could not play in their backyard as there was cat poop all over. He stated the ordinance may stop them from multiplying, but it would not stop them from using his yard as a liter box, stop them from peeing on his house and they were unable to open their windows because the cats sprayed the windows. They did not understand how the feral cats took precedence over their children. Chief Moser stated their yard would fit in as a nuisance under the ordinance and they would contact the sponsor of the caretaker, and the sponsor would be required, with the caretaker, to stop this nuisance. He stated if they did not stop, the status of the caretaker could be taken away and it would then be illegal to feed and harbor those animals, with penalties of $100 to $750 every day the violation continued. He continued it then would come under our Nuisance ordinance. He stated there was a provision for authority for the persons affected to trap also. It was questioned how to know if all the cats being fed were trapped and neutered, and Chief Moser stated the sponsor would provide descriptive information and records and the Police would review those records and investigate. Mr. & Mrs. Patrick stated they were here 4 months ago and it was still a nuisance. President Craig stated there were some court cases regarding this but the new ordinance spelled out how we were going to manage this problem. He asked them to wait and see how this ordinance worked. Trustee Packham stated he agreed wholeheartedly with them and
that we lived in an age of raging political correctness and no one
wants to hurt the cat’s self- Mary Byrne addressed the Board asking how people would know about this ordinance. Mr. Hummel stated it would be included as a Hi-Lighter article as well as a press release to inform the residents. She stated cats became feral when irresponsible owners don’t take care of their cats. She commented that the difference between a stray cat and a feral cat was that a stray cat had been someone’s pet and would respond to human touch. She stated a feral cat, however, was fearful because it was never touched by a human being. She was happy Hanover Park was being pro-active and taking steps to help the animals. She stated it was the responsibility of the owner to have their pets neutered and spayed to help cut down on this problem. Jennifer Merrill addressed the Board and asked if there was a specific humane society, and Chief Moser stated it was cited in Section 143(b), noting the societies that were licensed under the Humane Care for Animals Act in the State Statute. Kurt Meyer addressed the Board and stated he had practiced TNR (trap-neuter-return) for many years. He stated it was a matter of education, not only for the Board but for the citizens of Hanover Park. He stated that typically feral cats do not attack unless defending themselves or kittens, or if cornered but there was no documented proof that feral cats would attack anyone or anything for no reason. He stated the TNR would not solve the problem today or tomorrow, but it would over time and that it worked. He also stated to know when an animal was a treated feral or not, there was an international recognition of a left ear tip. He stated when the cat was spayed or neutered and knocked out, the animal is ear-tipped and if you see an animal with a flat left ear, you know that the cat was treated. He also mentioned the website alleycatallies.org to further understand this issue. Flo Brinicomb spoke representing her son who was a registered caretaker and stated she would like to show his letter of registration with Treehouse Animals and stated he had 22 cats neutered or spayed. She asked who she should speak to and Chief Moser stated it should come through his sponsor to the Code Enforcement Supervisor, Patrick Hamill. Alex Wolf addressed the Board and stated he appreciated what the Board was doing regarding the feral cat issue. He stated his dog was injured twice by feral cats at the same apartment complex. Roll call: AYES: Packham, Eby, Kaiser, Nicolosi NAYS: None ABSENT: Manton, Carter Motion carried – Passed Ordinance O-08-43: Regulating the Managed Care of Feral Cats |
