R. Hanson <br /> www. ci.little-canada.mn.us <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Mayor Blesener ~c Members of the City Council <br /> FROM: Joel Hanson, City Administrator <br /> DATE: October 8, 2010 <br /> RE: Wildlife Feeding Restrictions <br /> Attached is the 1•evised ordinance placing restrictions on the feeding of wildlife. Essentially, the <br /> ordinance has been revised by eliminating any "allowed quantity" for wildlife feeding. However, bird <br /> feeders are still exempted at the one cubic foot quantity limitation. I did modify that section to include <br /> food spilled on the ground in an attempt to clarify the quantity limitation and to prevent a creative <br /> person from circumventing the intent. Lastly, we are adding an enforcement section dealing with <br /> violations and penalties. This is being prepared by the City Attorney. <br /> Staff has received some inquiries on this ordinance. One letter is attached for your review. I also had <br /> another call that I believe was resolved when I explained the bird feeding exemption. Finally, I have <br /> had what appears to be a data practices request that involves this topic (copy attached). Based on upon <br /> the inquiries 1 have had, there will likely be some concerned citizens present at Wednesday's meeting to <br /> discuss this proposed ordinance and our deer hunting program. <br /> Also attached to this memo is some background info on issues involved in the feeding of wildlife that <br /> you may want to review. <br /> 1 <br /> <br />
