During the North St. Paul City Council meeting, residents raised concerns about local issues, including coyote sightings and vehicle parking regulations. One resident, John Schwall, shared his experience with increased coyote activity near his home. He expressed frustration with the limited options for reporting such wildlife encounters through the city’s OpenGov system, which currently directs these reports to the police department. Schwall emphasized the need for public awareness to prevent potential coyote attacks on small pets, but noted his reluctance to use social media platforms like Facebook for community alerts.
