Addison board orders 'No Dogs Allowed' signs after cemetery complaint

Town Board of the Town of Addison · July 2, 2026

Summary

Following a resident complaint about a dog running and defecating in Maple Street Cemetery, the board voted to buy and attach two 'NO DOGS ALLOWED' signs to the cemetery gates to enforce existing village local laws.

A resident complaint that a dog was being allowed to run and defecate in the Maple Street Cemetery prompted the board to act. Supervisor Jack Thompson moved and Council Member John Lyons seconded a motion to purchase two "NO DOGS ALLOWED" signs and attach them to both cemetery gates. The motion passed with Ayes from Thompson, Alice Weale, John Lyons and Jason Becker.

Meeting minutes note the dog behavior was in violation of "2 Village Local Laws," and the signage is intended to make the rule clear to visitors and provide enforcement support to the Dog Control Officer. The minutes do not record the cost of the signs or name the resident involved; the board approved the purchase and directed staff to install the signs.
