-2- <br />_g_ We took our petition to the west side of Savage Lake and spoke <br />to many people there who are very unhappy with the geese invad- <br />ing their property and park. <br />One man told me about his son who can not play on his swing set <br />without supervision because the geese attack him. He asked me <br />to wait while he went in his house to give me a picture of the <br />geese in his yard. He asked me to show it to you tonight. <br />-4- At Nedeau Park, we were told that the children don't want to <br />use the park because of the goose droppings and the geese are <br />chasing them. <br />-5- We went to most of the apartment and condo complexes in the area <br />and talked to management and maintenance people who told us <br />they are fighting with the problem everyday. <br />-6- We stopped at St. Jude's Medical and spoke with Mark Lester, <br />who is a manager there, he told me the geese are attacking peo- <br />ple in the parking lot. They spent <br />4000.00 on a sweeping mac- <br />hine to clean their sidewalks. Over the weekend, when they <br />return on Monday morning, it is a big mess. He also mentioned <br />that their lunch room has a patio where they can not use it <br />because of the geese. He is concerned about the health,and <br />safety of their employees. <br />-7- We called the Health Dept. and spoke to Larry Gust of the <br />Envirnnntal branch and he says "any exposer to fecal matter can <br />present a health risk ". <br />Page 22 <br />
