MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />NOVEMBER 24, 1993 <br />has that right. <br />Frattalone reported that he owns 2 or 3 acres and rents <br />an additional 8. <br />LaValle indicated that it was his understanding that <br />when the deer population was thinned in North Oaks and <br />at the arsenal, there was an agreement with the DNR <br />that the City could take a certain number of deer, and <br />that the City hired someone to do the taking. <br />The City Administrator reported that the City of North <br />Oaks had a controlled kill, which can be done but at <br />significant cost. The Administrator reported that he <br />was not sure if there were any specific DNR regulations <br />that had to be followed, such as a specific hunting <br />season, etc. and this would have to be researched. <br />Scalze felt that there was enough open space that there <br />would still be a deer herd in the City even with the <br />taking of some deer on the Frattalone property. Scalze <br />asked if Thill's intent was to clear out the deer herd <br />in the City. <br />Thill felt it would be good to eliminate the herd in <br />the City. <br />Scalze did not believe this would be possible unless <br />Maplewood were involved. Scalze also pointed out the <br />potential hazards of allowing hunting by bow and arrow <br />given the proximity of the Frattalone property to <br />Pioneer Park and Montreal Courts as well as other <br />single-family homes. <br />Thill pointed out the dangers of male deer during the <br />rut and reported that there are two male deer near the <br />Frattalone property, one a 10-point and the other an <br />8-point. <br />Scalze indicated that she knows deer are around, but <br />felt the City did not have killer deer. Scalze <br />indicated that she would not be willing to amend the <br />ordinance without hearing from the surrounding <br />neighbors on the issue of bow and arrow hunting. <br />Frattalone indicated that he wanted a permit for just <br />his land. <br />Bill Bruce expressed concern with bow and arrow hunting <br />adjacent to Pioneer Park and near Montreal Courts <br />Apartments and Little Canada Elementary School. Bruce <br />reported that when a deer gets hit with an arrow it <br />does not die instantly, but bleeds to death. Bruce <br />Page 5 <br />
