Item No. 4 <br />Staff Report No. <br />Meeting Date: April 3, 2000 <br />Type of Business: W.K. <br />WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; <br />CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Michael Ulrich, Director of Public Works <br />Item Title/Subject: Discussion of Canadian Geese Control Measures <br />Date of Report: August 29, 2018 <br /> <br />At the end of the summer season and into early last fall, the landscaping of the Community <br />Center and City Hall was completed. Accompanying the newly laid sod was a flock hungry <br />Canadian geese. If you happen to remember the site throughout the grounds, parking lots, and <br />sidewalks, it was not a pretty site. The geese had produced a grossly unsanitary condition <br />throughout the area. Complaints were received from visitors, tenants and staff members of the <br />Community Center and City Hall. <br /> <br />Staff contacted John Hammerschmidt to inquire about any measures to control the flock or in <br />essence force them from the area. John constructed a fence around the newly constructed water <br />quality pond and sprayed the entire grounds with an environmentally friendly chemical to which <br />geese dislike. The results were the geese left the area. The expense of the treatment was <br />approximately $1,200.00. The time is rapidly approaching when the geese will return in numbers <br />to nest. Staff feels it is quite necessary to continue the application of the chemicals to keep the <br />complex sanitary, and disease free. John has estimated it will take approximately $5,000.00 to <br />$6,000.00 to treat the grounds for the entire season. Staff is requesting authorization to expend <br />existing building maintenance funds for the Community Center, City Hall, Water Treatment <br />Facility and Public Works Facility to support this expenditure. If additional funds for the repair <br />or maintenance of any of these facilities were necessary in the future, staff would then request <br />supplemental funding from Council. <br /> <br />Staff seeks Council approval or direction in this matter. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />___________________________________ <br />Michael Ulrich, Interim City Administrator <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />C:\Mike's documents\staff reports\Geese Control.doc
