Geese Complaint - Joseph Kahnke, 1451 Edgewater Ave. Kahnke asked for help in removing the geese from Lake Johanna; expressed concern about the health aspect - feels it is not a healthy situation. Kahnke reported he counted 42 geese at the south end of the lake; feels the geese are dangerous for small children in the area, particularly at the beach; feels the situation is getting'worse and the residents in the area would like something done about it. Hansen reported that her survey of lake residents revealed that only twelve out of 100 contacted wanted the geese removed; only three were willing to help pay for the removal. Hansen reported that RCWD treated the matter as "a joke"; DNR expressed concern and advised that a DNR permit is needed to remove the geese, but would probably not grant a permit for fewer than 100 geese. Hansen said she has requested that residents not feed the geese; suggested that concerned residents write directly to DNR, advising of the problem. . Woodburn said he understands that removal of the geese must be done 'in July; noted that the removal therefore could not be accomplished this year. Woodburn noted that the cost of removal is substantial; so, it will have to be decided how to pay for it, if it is to be done. Mr. Kahnke said it is the sentiment of the neighborhood to get rid of them.
