Resident urges action as rats gather around winter food sources
Summary
John Beresheim, a west-side resident, asked the board for help after reporting a rat problem he attributes to residents leaving food and water for animals; he requested village action to eliminate the problem.
During the public-comment period, resident John Beresheim said rats have been attracted to areas where people leave large amounts of food and water to feed animals, with activity concentrated near his home on the west side of town. He urged the board and village staff to address the rodent problem, especially because he said it intensifies in winter months.
The minutes record the comment and Beresheim’s request for help; trustees did not record a verbal response during the meeting. The Community Development report attachment records one rodent complaint for January and notes a rodent abatement was performed, indicating staff follow-up on at least one prior occurrence.
