MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />SEPTEMBER 9, 2020 <br />hunt should be allowed this year, but noted that a capped number likely makes sense since there <br />are only 3 deer over the deer management objective of 10 deer per square mile, which would be <br />40 deer. He stated that there has not been a hunt since 2017. <br />Keis stated that he has received a complaint about deer also and could go either way, but wants <br />to put a cap on the count taken. Fischer agrees that a cap should be put on the number hunted. <br />Montour stated that he understands people complaining, but there are other ways to deter the <br />deer from yards. He was not sure if the bowhunters group would be interested in mobilizing for <br />only a limited number of deer to hunt. Keis stated that there has not been a high number of <br />complaints so he would be fine waiting another year also. There was Council consensus to have <br />the City Administrator contact the bow hunter's group to see if they were interested and bring <br />any action back to the Council if needed. <br />CALL FOR A WORKSHOP ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2020 <br />The City Clerk stated that staff is requesting the Council call for a Workshop on September 23, <br />2020 at 6:00pm to discuss a stormwater drainage update and the preliminary budget. <br />Montour introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: <br />RESOLUTION NO. 2020-9-114 — CALLING FOR A WORKSHOP ON <br />WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 2020 AT 6: 00 P.M. <br />The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by McGraw. <br />Roll Call Vote: Keis/Torkelson/Fischer/McGraw/Montour <br />Ayes (5). Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. <br />COUNCIL UPDATES <br />Fischer reported that there has been a large group of geese at Veteran's Memorial Park this year <br />and they leave their mess all over. He commended the Public Works staff for coming up with a <br />unique idea to detract the geese. The Public Works Director reported they purchased two dog <br />silhouettes that flutter and placed them on either side of the park, and it has worked very well. <br />He stated that Parks Maintenance Supervisor Derek Anderson came up with this suggestion. <br />John T.
