Resident complaint prompts board to review village nuisance ordinances on dog barking
Summary
A Makanda resident alerted the board that new neighbors keep two penned dogs that bark frequently; President Shingleton said the village has an animal restraint ordinance and will check whether a separate nuisance ordinance exists.
A resident on McGuire Road reported to Village President Tina Shingleton that a family moving in next door keeps two penned dogs that bark excessively. The resident, Ellen Novar, had already contacted Jackson County Animal Control and asked whether the village has a nuisance ordinance covering noisy animals.
President Shingleton told the board the village’s ordinance framework currently addresses animal restraint and tethering but that she would check whether a specific nuisance ordinance exists. The board did not take further action at the meeting; no citation or enforcement action is recorded in the minutes.
Speakers: Ellen Novar; President Tina Shingleton.
Next steps: President will review village ordinances and report back if an explicit nuisance ordinance or enforcement path exists.
