2.3.7 Deterrents in Roost Areas and Excrement Removal At this point in time, the City of Saint Anthony does not remove wild turkey excrement on private property. The primary goal is to effectively redistribute wild turkeys away from these areas, with the goal being a reduction of feces in these areas. Staff would only remove wild turkey excrement from public owned property if the problem is extensive and persistent. 2.4 Public Information Informing the public about wild turkey management activities is an integral part of a successful wild turkey management plan. Information and signage detailing some of the methods being used will be developed to provide background information for residents. Signage or posted notices may be developed for certain activities. Additionally, city staff and all contractors performing removal services will provide a copy of the removal permit to all residents and patrons upon request. All persons performing management activities should provide users with accurate and thorough information about wild turkey management objective, and inform users how the particular management activity being conducted fits into the larger wild turkey management plan. The City of Saint Anthony will promote resident reporting options of turkey complaints/safety concerns to appropriate staff via e-mail or phone. The City will also provide information on residential turkey management techniques in both the city newsletter and website. 2.5 Partner Relationships and Permit Requirements Coordination of all wildlife management activities will be communicated with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Parks & Recreation Department, Public Safety Department and City Administration. Permitting and all contracted removal activities, dates/conditions for removals, permit possession while conducting activities, notification and involvement of Conservation Officers, Area Wildlife Managers, etc. will be the responsibility of City staff and all contractors employed to implement wildlife management services.
