He is requesting council permission to install wood duck houses along Walsh Lake. He prepared a summary of his project for the Council. Marc will be at the meeting to answer questions you may have. OPTIONS: STAFF RECOMMENDATION: COUNCIL ACTION: My name is Marc Pederson. I'm a member of Boy Scout Troop 254 and I'm trying to get the rank of Eagle Scout. One of the requirements that I need to complete is an Eagle Project, which is a project that benefits the community in some way. One of the ideas that someone gave to me was building Wood Duck houses for the area around Walsh Lake. What I plan on doing is building approximately 5-7 Wood Duck houses for the area around the Lauderdale part of Walsh Lake. I would either secure the boxes to trees on the water's edge or I would secure them to metal pipes that would go in the lake about a foot from the water's edge. Walsh Lake would be a perfect place for these boxes because it has a lot of duck weed, which is a natural food source for these ducks and too much duck weed being in the lake was a concern brought to my attention by the same person who suggested building Wood Duck houses. The Wood Duck houses would be maintained by the members of my troop and by any volunteers who want to help. I could also hold an instructional class on how to maintain the Wood Duck houses for any volunteers who want to help.
