cCJ4 1 "N ' 29474 c&mari, 515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 (612) 484 -2177 / FAX: (612) 484 -4538 January 7, 1994 TO: Mayor Hanson Members of the City Council FROM: Joel Hanson, City Administrator RE: Bow and Arrow Permits MAYOR Raymond G. Hanson COUNCIL Beverly Scalze Jim LaValle Steve Morelan Bob Pedersen ADMINISTRATOR Joel R. Hanson After our last council meeting, I forwarded our applications for bow and arrow hunting permits to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. I also requested that they grant permission to allow the taking of deer in the early part of 1994. On Thursday, January 6, I talked to Mr. John Parker with the DNR to ask the status of our request. He had indicated that some review was done of the applicants we had submitted to them, but more work was still required. He committed to having answers to us in both areas by Monday, January 10. Therefore, I will not have any further information until that time. I was also contacted by Mr. Jon Witt of the Minnesota Bow Hunters Association. He expressed interest in having qualified archers assist in removal of the deer. He indicated that it was his organization that handled the hunt at Fort Snelling. In talking with Mr. Parker of the DNR, he confirmed they conducted that hunt and did an excellent job. Therefore, that may be another option you want to consider. Lastly, I was contacted by Linda Hatfield of Friends of Animals and Their Environment (FATE). She forwarded to me other information relative to deer issues that dealt with topics such as repellents, fencing, deer /vehicle collisions, and the nature of deer living in close proximity to developed areas. This information is available at the City offices should you wish to review it further. Should you have any comments or questions prior to Wednesday's meeting, please let me know. cc: Myers Frattalone Richard Heinel JRH /mbg Page 85
