I have a problem with wildlife (raccoons, ground hogs, etc., does not include deer) at my house causing damage to plants and/or the grass. How can the city help?: The police department contracts with the City of South Euclid for the use of their Animal Warden/Humane Officer. The city will provide a service to eliminate the nuisance without cost, once every 12 months. The city will address the issue in a two prong approach; first, it will attempt to trap and dispose of the wildlife, and secondly, will educate the resident on the steps they must take to keep other critters from coming back in the future. In addition, only animal problems on the exterior of the house can be addressed.

5. I have a handicapped placard, why did I receive a parking citation for parking in a handicapped parking space?: The ordinance covering handicapped parking requires that the operator be in possession of a handicapped placard; that it must not be expired; that it must be displayed.

Also, if the placard is displayed but it is expired, it is also not in compliance with the city ordinance.
