TELL US: Should city pay for coyote trappers?Roswell is debating whether the city should pay trappers to round up coyotes, which are a nuisance in some city neighborhoods. ("How to catch coyotes? Roswell debates trapping," Move could cost up to $1,000, ajc.com May 7.)
Other Northside cities are reporting problems with coyotes.
Roswell Mayor Jere Wood said he supports city-financed trapping, describing coyotes as a chronic problem.
But council members are reluctant to start trapping.
Coyote trapping could cost up to $1,000 for two weeks.
At a recent meeting, Wood and the council decided to study a program to provide matching funds to homeowners groups that hire their own trappers.
Should cities pay to round up the animals? Should residents foot the bill? Or, should the city and resident groups split the cost 50-50?
