MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JULY 12, 2000 The City Administrator reported that it has been past experience that wood cut in fire wood length has typically disappeared from the curb. However, he would forward the Mayor's comments on to Precision Tree. DEER Fahey reported that at a recent neighborhood meeting the issue of deer POPULATION control was raised by some residents due to the damage that the deer are causing. Fahey suggested that the City consider the issuance of bow hunting permits so that the deer herd could be reduced. Council felt that the DNR should be contacted to do a survey of the deer in the LaBore Road area. The Administrator suggested that the DNR typically conducts these surveys in the spring and fall when there are no leaves on the trees. It was suggested that the City survey the residents of this area about their position on this issue before any action is taken. It was also noted that the survey should indicate that failure to respond to the survey would be considered a vote in favor of deer control measures.
