REPORTS BY COUNCIL AND STAFF
City Manager David Brandt noted that some of the geese at Memorial Park roosted
early which slows down the plan to manage the geese with dogs. He explained that the
contractor reassured staff that parents of roosting geese won’t flock with non‐roosting
geese so the non‐roosting geese are still eligible for the dog program. The roosting pairs
would need to be avoided until the goslings can fly per the Migratory Bird Act.
Council members highlighted the activities of their committees and various community
events.
ADJOURNMENT
At 8:20 p.m., the meeting was adjourned to Tuesday, May 14 beginning at 12:00 noon
