MEMO TO: MAYOR AND CITY COU I 4� - <br />FROM: CLERK-ADMINISTRATO <br />DATE: DECEMBER 14, 1989 <br />SUBJECT: PIGEON ORDINANCE <br />Pursuant to direction at the December 4th Agenda Session <br />I contacted the Metropolitan Airports Commission and a <br />veterinarian regarding concern voiced about pigeons <br />interferring with the flight paths for planes landing at the <br />Anoka County -Blaine Airport and the transmission of disease <br />by pigeons. <br />Attached please find a letter from Mr. Jack R. Eberlein <br />responding to a request by Mr. Meyer, who contacted <br />Mr. Eberlein prior to me, indicating that the location of <br />pigeons on his property in Mounds View should not pose a <br />problem to airport flight patterns. Also attached is a <br />letter from Dr.. John A. Newman, Director of Avian Health <br />Research, at the University of Minnesota, College of <br />Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Newman indicates that the keeping <br />of racing pigeons will not create a health hazard for the <br />residents of Mounds View. <br />Should you have any additional questions or require any <br />additional information, please advise. <br />DFP/MJS <br />Attachments: <br />
