City Council Regular Meeting Minutes September 28, 2021 Page 5 1 Staff subsequently received feedback on the draft plan from Minnesota Department of Natural 2 Resources and incorporated those comments into the current draft. 3 4 The plan was also presented to the Parks & Environmental Commission at their meeting on 5 September 13, 2021. The Commission asked general questions regarding the extent of the issue 6 and removal process and supported the plan as drafted. 7 8 Staff is recommending the adoption of a Wild Turkey Management Plan in order to give private 9 property owners an option for wild turkey removal when all other avenues for deterrence have 10 been exhausted. There is a cost associated with removal, and staff is recommending that cost be 11 the responsibility of the property owner. Staff recommends not implementing a fee for the City 12 Permit, as the staff time to process is anticipated to be minimal. The permit fee and removal cost 13 can be re-evaluated at any time. This also gives the City an option for removal should wild 14 turkeys present an issue on publicly-owned property in the future. If this resolution is adopted, 15 information on wild turkey management and permit application will be added to the City 16 website, and information will be included in the next edition of the City Newsletter.
