saint john's of little Canada <br />380 Little Canada Road • Little Canada, Minnesota 55117 -1699 <br />(651) 484 -2708 • Fax (651) 484 -0567 <br />To Members of the Little Canada City Council <br />We respectfully request your permission for our neighbor, Nathan Johnson, to be granted <br />a city permit to bow hunt deer on our property, south of our cemetery. <br />It has come to our attention that it may be advantageous for us to have our local deer herd <br />"managed" to reduce the number of car /deer accidents and "near- misses" on local streets <br />and Little Canada Road. We are sorry for missing the deadline on submission for <br />tonight's Council agenda as we were waiting on the latest information from the <br />Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. <br />We have spoken to Bryan Lueth, director of the Urban Area Wildlife Office of the DNR <br />and he has said that he sees no problem - St. John's is covered under The MN Outdoor <br />Recreation Act (604A.20 -27) that encourages recreational hunting and exempts owner <br />liability. In Mr. Lueth's words, "hunting should be promoted as a deer management tool ". <br />Thank you for your consideration on this matter. <br />Sincerely, <br />syL� -c um- 424Z -'-'t <br />eanne Messersmith <br />Church Business Administrator <br />0 printed on recycled paper <br />
