A motion by Councilmember Lasman, seconded by Councilmember Ricker to continue the Public Hearing to the August 27, 2001, meeting. Motion passed unanimously. 7b. AN ORDINANCE PROHIBITING THE FEEDING OF DEER Mr. McCauley discussed that the proposed ordinance prohibiting the feeding of deer was prepared due to the number of calls received from residents and requested Public Works Director Diane Spector to outline the background of the proposed ordinance. Ms. Spector summarized that the City manages or monitors animal control in three primary areas, Canada geese, beavers, and deer. This year the calls complaining about deer had increased and it is likely that either the deer population is increasing; or the deer are migrating even further away from their traditional habitats in Palmer Lake, Twin Lakes /Arboretum/Preserve, and Durnam Island; or some combination of both. One element that cities are implementing as part of their deer management programs is an ordinance prohibiting the intentional feeding of deer by anyone other than DNR or other authorized personnel acting in accordance with the deer management plan. The deer management plan is intended to keep the deer population at a level that is supportable by the natural habitat available, so as to avoid the need to actively manage populations through deer removal. The City of Brooklyn Center had proposed the following deer management plan: • Obtain biennial deer counts from Hennepin Parks or the DNR (cost approximately $300 each occurrence). • Consult regularly with the DNR regarding the deer management plan. • Continue monitoring police reports. • Track and follow up on general deer complaints. • Provide information in the City newsletter and educational brochures on deer repellants. • Adopt an ordinance prohibiting the intentional feeding of deer. Ms. Spector discussed that the enforcement of this proposed ordinance would be on a complaint basis. A motion by Councilmember Nelson, seconded by Councilmember Peppe to open the Public Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. 08/13/01 -7- I r Wayde Lerbs, 5107 East Twin Lake Boulevard, addressed the Council to discuss his concern with the feeding of deer in the City of Brooklyn Center and to state that he believes the ordinance should be more exclusive to include other animals. Mary Saugestad, 5912 Upton Avenue North, addressed the Council to discuss that she likes feeding the deer and believes that feeding the deer provides an educational opportunity for the children in her daycare. Ms. Saugestad requested that the Council consider tabling this ordinance to allow time for statistics to be researched and offered assistance in working with staff on the research. Mayor Kragness indicated that safety is an issue and shared with Ms. Saugestad some of the concerns that the Council had with safety. Gerald Abild, 3712 Woodbine Lane, addressed the Council to share the destruction the deer have caused on his property. A motion by Councilmember Lasman, seconded by Councilmember Nelson to close the Public Hearing. Motion passed unanimously. Councilmember Peppe questioned whether or not the ordinance could be approved in order to move forward with the prohibiting of feeding deer and amended at a later date to include other animals. Mr. McCauley suggested that the ordinance be tabled and the City Attorney review the comments and issues to see if the proposal should be amended. brought back before the Council for adoption if they wished to have the ordinance amended. A motion by Councilmember Peppe, seconded by Councilmember Nelson to table this ordinance to the September 24, 2001, meeting. Motion passed unanimously. 8. COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEMS 8a.

Motion passed unanimously. 8e. STAFF REPORT RE: I- 94/694 THIRD LANE PROJECT Mr. McCauley reported on the status of the 1- 94/694 Third Lane project and discussed that there was no action requested from the Council at this time. Since the Council's approval of the conceptual of the plan in February, Mn/DOT has contracted with URS (formerly BRW) to complete the construction plans for the segment of 1 -94 through Brooklyn Center. The most significant change in the plan is the elimination of all work east of Brooklyn Boulevard. The conceptual plan included reconstructing the highway to Dupont Avenue and while this work was included in the environmental assessment it was not funded. Mn/DOT has secured funding to mill and overlay the segment of 94 east of Brooklyn Boulevard but not for the additional sound walls proposal Another issue is the location of storm water ponds. Mn/DOT will be soliciting comments at the sixty percent plan review and ninety percent plan review stages and will request Council approval of the I- 94/694 final plan before construction can begin.

Councilmember Ricker indicated that he would like to see an official vote regarding this issue. 08/13/01 -11- Councilmember Lasman questioned what will happen if the traffic increases along that stretch of Highway 100 and new residents arrive after the decision is made to delete this noise wall.
