One <br />problem is that by not allowing the feeding of the ducks and geese <br />does not mean they are not going to come back. Staff is suggesting <br />that the proposal from Dr. Cooper (U of M) be followed. <br /> <br />Blomquist agreed that staff has done a good job in looking at other <br />alternatives and that it is a problem and feels working with <br />Dr. Cooper is the best way. <br /> <br />Harcus agreed and felt it should also be extended to the Golf Course <br />where there is also a problem. He added that Dr. Cooper had stated <br />that there would be no further cost to include the Golf Course but <br />if there was it would be very minimal. <br /> <br />Benke stated he had heard of a problem on Pike lake. <br /> <br />Winkels stated he had not been aware of a problem there. <br /> <br />Benke added he understood from someone at the public hearing last fall <br />there was a problem at Pike lake and asked staff to check it out. <br /> <br />Motion by Harcus, seco~ded by Blomquist, to ACCEPT DR. COOPERIS, <br />UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA, PROPOSAL TO ELIMINATE THE DUCKS AND GEESE <br />PROBLEMS ON lONG LAKE. <br /> <br />Janecek questioned if the person who is feeding the ducks and geese was <br />being fined or prosecuted- <br /> <br />Fridgen stated that she was tagged, pled guilty and paid a $25.00 fine. <br />The City did not come out very well in court due to her statement <br />"she was feeding her pets." Tags will continue to be given until <br />the feeding is stopped. He further added another problem is feeding <br />the ducks and geese from the bridge and he is looking into getting <br />a sign posted if the County would so allow. <br /> <br />Harcus asked if the current ordinances are sufficient for enforcement. <br /> <br />Fridgen stated that they are. <br /> <br />Page Four <br /> <br />Purchase Of Picku~ <br />Truck - Sewer De~ <br />Report 85-96 <br /> <br />Duck & Goose <br />Problem On <br />long Lake <br />Report 85-97 <br />
