Hanson <br />www.ci.little-canada.mn.us <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor Blesener and Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Joel Hanson, City Administrator <br />DATE: April 20, 2007 <br />RE: Goose Control Measures <br />As you are aware, Dr. Cooper has been doing research on the effectiveness of egg <br />destruction as a goose management tool in small wetland areas with less than 10 geese. <br />The results so far have been promising, and as a result he is proposing this control <br />measure for the Little Canada sites (Canterbury, East and West Savage, Round Lake, and <br />St. Jude's). <br />The estimated cost of the egg destruction program is 15% less than the trapping program. <br />Dr. Cooper has indicated that if there are more than 10 gees found at a location, the <br />summer trapping will be done at no additional cost. <br />Staff recommends that the City proceed with the egg destruction program as proposed by <br />Dr. Cooper. <br />
