MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />MAY 10, 2006 <br />Savage each with five or six eggs. Huot pointed out that if these birds are <br />not rounded up this year, the numbers will be much greater next year. <br />Blesener read a letter from another Savage Lake resident in support of the <br />round up. <br />Allan pointed out that the City has tried other methods for managing the <br />goose population, but they have not worked. Allan agreed that the geese <br />were an important animal, but noted that there are public health issues, <br />aside from avian flu, that come with an overpopulation. Additionally, the <br />City has been working toward becoming a more walkable community, acrd <br />there are issues for the senior citizens in the area of the Market Place in <br />using the sidewalk system. Allan noted that the City will never achieve a <br />100% rate for rounding up geese. <br />Blesener stated that he received another complaint from a resident about <br />Che geese taking over yards and impacting the ability for children to use <br />the backyard area. <br />Smith suggested the use of fencing to control the geese. Cooper noted that <br />the type of fencing used can impact other animals, and noted that any <br />mitigation methods could have impacts on other species. <br />There was no one else present wishing to comment on this matte <br />Upon motion by Allan, seconded by Keis, the public hearing was closed. <br />Mr. Blesener introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: <br />RESOLUTION NO. 2006-5-I08 - AUTHORIZING A GOOSE <br />MANAGEMENT PROGRAM FOR 2006 SIMILAR TO PAST <br />PRACTICE, AND INDICATING THAT ROUND LAKE MAYBE <br />EXEMPTED FROM THE ROUND UP FOR 2006 BASED ON THF, <br />NUMBERS AT THIS SITE AS WELL AS DR.
