Council asks staff to follow up on Canada goose and prairie-dog nuisance at Sertoma Park
Summary
A council member raised growing nuisance concerns from Canada geese (and prairie dogs) near Sertoma Park; staff (Mr. Phelan) agreed to check with appropriate authorities and report back.
Council member Bean raised a constituent concern about an apparent increase in Canada geese at Sertoma Park and nearby areas, saying residents are having trouble walking in portions of the park and reporting large numbers on private property. "My neighbor had 42 of them in her backyard," Bean said.
Staff member Mr. Phelan acknowledged the problem, said he has observed the same trend and agreed to follow up with the appropriate authorities about possible responses. Vice President Weigel also asked staff to check on related small mammals (prairie dogs) causing damage. The item will be handled as a staff follow-up rather than a formal agenda action.
