Managing coyotes has cost money
Managing the influx of coyotes in town (even though many of the calls last year were shown to have been caused by a single animal) has cost the city $450,000 since 2017. “Fewer than twenty” animals were trapped and presumably released outside town, but a lot of the cash appears to have gone into educating people what to do about them (i.e., nothing) and not to panic.

I wanna see a coyote! I wonder if the coyote hotline can give you useful spotting tips, eg best location & time of day, etc.

Well, hang around the area now known as Frederick-Back Park with a raw steak in your hand, and you very well might.

I had one in my Crawford Park backyard a couple years ago. It was trying to eat my meat pies cooling outside. Gonna guess there’s a few around the Douglas/Angrygnome.

denpanosekai, I’m enjoying the sheer cartoon-ness of pies cooling on a windowsill when the coyote turns up.
