ill. PUBLIC HEARING(S)
IV. APPEARANCES
Mr. Richard Carlson, Hunters Crossing 2nd Addition, made an appearance to discuss the options the
Parks & Recreation Committee had proposed at the February, 5 2003 committee meeting. Mr. Carlson
first stated he was surprised by the recommendation of City Council to raise the Park Dedication Fees
for this development by $500.00 per lot for those lots developed in 2004, and by $1,000.00 for those
lots developed in 2006. City Council recommended this as an exchange for Mr. Carlson being able to
develop this property earlier than originally scheduled. Based on these amounts, this development will
pay the City of Centerville $270,000 in Park Dedication Fees. The committee informed Mr. Carlson
that this was a decision by council that was not based on a recommendation from the Parks &
Recreation Committee.
The committee had discussed the possibility of a tennis court being included in this development with
Chairperson Devine sending Mr. Carlson the following letter, dated February 26, 2003:

Parks & Recreation Committee
Meeting Minutes 03-05-03
Thank you for coming to the Park and Recreation Meeting we had in January to discuss future
plans for Hunters Crossing, Phase IL Also for allowing us time to review the proposed plans. After
discussion at our February 5'h meeting, the Park and Recreation Committee would like to inquire
about the possibility of incorporating a tennis court into your plans. We would like to see a full size
court and the court needs to run North and South to alleviate sun in the eyes while playing during
dusk and dawn. The cost of the tennis court would be deducted from the total park dedication fees
owed Also the Park and Recreation Committee would like to see a trail from Centerville Road west
(running on the north side of the street) to Beaver Pond Way, and North (along the west side of the
street) to meet in with the eyisting county trail I have enclosed the minutes from our last park and
recreation meeting for your information.
Please feel free to come to our next Park and Rec. meeting scheduledfor March 5, 2003 at 6:30
P.M at City Hall.
Mr. Carlson was not in favor of a tennis court in Hunters Crossing 2nd Addition, feeling it would not fit
well within this development and his past experiences with tennis courts have not been favorable. He
said less than .05% of the population play tennis and a tennis court is not only a huge maintenance
concern, but also a management and control issue. He felt it made more sense to put it in an existing
park, perhaps where there is existing lighting such as Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park. Mr. Carlson also
felt that because tennis is more of an adult sport and most people would drive in and park, parking
would also become an issue. Mr. Carlson stated if the Parks & Recreation Committee recommends the
tennis court, he will object.
Mr. Carlson proposed giving the city approximately 3 112 acres of pond property, with an estimated 1f2 to
1 acre of dry ground. This land will be given to the city and does not affect the Park Dedication Fee
amount. Instead of the proposed sidewalk going on the north side of Dupre Road and the west side of
Beaver Pond Way, Mr. Carlson will install a trail surrounding the pond on the above mentioned
property, "\-vith access to the trail from lot 19 on Centerville Road and Dupre Road, and also from the
east/west trail currently located between Hunters First Addition and Second. All sidewalks will be
eliminated from this development. Mr. Carlson will also install a trail along the west side of the
development on the St. Paul Water Utility easement, connecting to the existing trail and install stubs
from the trail to Beaver Pond Way if that is what the committee recommends. Mr. Carlson will also
work with the City ofLino Lakes to obtain a possible easement for the trail to continue to Birch Street.
The committee discussed with Mr. Carlson whether it would be a problem to run trail stubs between
homes from the trail on the St. Paul Water Utility easement to Beaver Pond Way giving access to the
trail from the development. Mr. Carlson said he has had problems in past running trails between two
homes, but only if homeowners were not aware ahead of time that a trail was to be run next to their
property. Discussion was held what could be done with the approximately 1 acre of high ground
surrounding the pond. The committee liked the idea of benches, a picnic area or a gazebo type shelter.
Mr. Carlson reported there will be 6 connecting ponds within this development and the depths will
fluctuate. Committee Member LeBlanc questioned whether the committee was interested in acquiring
the last lot on Dupre Road, next to Centerville Road as park property and how did Mr. Carlson feel
about that idea. Mr. Carlson said the lot was still of considerable value to him and he would prefer the
committee recommended taking Park Dedication Fees opposed to land. The committee was not in
favor of this idea either as the lot is on Centerville Road which would be too busy for any type of park
property.

V. CONSIDERA nON OF MEETING MJNUTES
Motion was made by Committee Member Peil, seconded by Committee Member Walter to
approve the February 5, 2003 Parks and Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes. All in Favor:
Motion carried unanimously.
VI. COMMITTEE BUSINESS
1. Committee ODenin2 / Letter of Interest
Mr. Richard Anderson, 7192 Brian Drive, submitted a letter of interest for the vacancy on the Parks &
Recreation Committee and attended the March 5, 2003 meeting. Mr. Anderson will attend a few more
meetings to determine if this committee is something he feels he can contribute to.
2. Hunters Crossin!! 2nd Addition
The committee discussed the proposal presented by Mr. Carlson. Chairperson DeVine recommended
taking the land as proposed, run the trail around the pond connecting it to existing trails and eliminate
all sidewalks from this development. Committee Member Peil agreed, saying she did not think it was
necessary to take any other land for parks within this development besides the approximate 3 ~ acres
Mr. Carlson was offering. Committee Member Seeley questioned whether the committee wanted to
abandon the idea of the tennis court and whether there was any other special purpose use the committee
could think of to use land in Hunters Crossing 2nd Addition, such as open space. Chairperson DeVine
will attend the next City Council meeting to answer any questions.
Motion was made by Committee Member Peil, seconded by Chairperson DeVine to recommend
to City Council to accept Mr. Richard Carlson's proposal as presented at the March 5, 2003
Parks & Recreation Committee meeting. This would include 3 ~ acres of wetland with
approximately 1 acre of dry ground, changing the location of the trail to surround the large pond
besides Wiharbor's property to the north side and to accept the land as a donation to the city
taking park dedication fees in lieu of land. All sidewalks will be eliminated in this development
and the trail will be extended from the northeast corner along the west side of the development
using the St. Paul Water Utility easement, with a stub from the trail to Beaver Pond Way
between lots 1 and 2, block 1 and a stub between the trail and Beaver Pond Way between lots 15
and 16, block 1. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously.
3. Summer Pr02rams
The committee had made a motion at the February 5, 2003 Parks & Recreation meeting to recommend
City Council hire a program coordinator. The City Administrator requested the committee supply the
council with specifics before presenting the motion to council. Committee Member LeBlanc said he
has the job description the committee had previously written for this position and would e-mail it to all
the committee members for approval. Ms. Stephan will submit the description with the motion at the
next council meeting.

3. Community Garden
Committee Member Seeley would like to determine if there is interest in a community garden. This
idea was tried a few years ago on a plot behind City Hall and there was only one resident who
expressed interest. Another option discussed was the possibility of a community garden at Chauncey
Barrett. Committee Member Seeley said she would do some research on this idea and present her
findings at the next scheduled meeting.
4. Royal :Meadows Park
The committee continued to discuss the vandalism issues at Royal Meadows Park with some members
being interested in pursuing the idea of surveillance cameras. Council Member Lee reported the city
has two (2) video cameras that could possibly be used for this purpose with minimal cost. Chairperson
DeVine stated she did not think it was the function of the Parks & Recreation Committee to set up
surveillance at parks, but perhaps it was something the neighborhood could do with home video
cameras if they spotted suspicious activity. The general consensus of the committee was not to pursue
the issue of surveillance. Committee Member Seeley said she felt as if the committee was working in a
vacuum without input from the local police and would like to invite a representative from the
Centennial Lakes Police Department to appear at the next meeting. Ms. Stephan will discuss the issue
with Chief Heckman and request an officer appear at the next meeting. Committee Member Peterson
requested Ms. Stephan inform the committee that the idea of a protective cage around the light in Royal
Meadows Park will not work. Rivard Electric has repaired the light each time it has been broken and
reported the light has been shot out with a BB gun. To surround this light with a cage tight enough to
keep the BBs out would eliminate too much light. Committee Member Seeley thinks the light pole and
light may be too low, and a different type of light would be more effective. The light pole has also been
damaged by vandals. The idea of inviting the area residents back to meet with the police was
suggested, but it was decided to wait and determine what ideas the police may have before inviting the
residents. Ms. Stephan will talk with the Centennial Lakes Community Service Officer in regards to
the possibility of getting residents involved with a Neighborhood Crime Watch group and invite the
CSO to attend the next meeting.
VII. UPDATES
1. Park Maintenance Priority Schedule
ML Paul Palzer submitted a tentative 2003 Parks Maintenance/Project Schedule to the City Council
and to the Parks & Recreation Committee for review. The estimates on Tracie McBride Memorial Park
and Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park were not broken down and some clarification is needed. Ms.
Stephan will discuss this with Mr. Palzer and supply the information for the next committee meeting.
Committee Member Seeley reports there are alternatives to wood chips that are not biodegradable and
she would like to present these options. These parks will be put on the next committee agenda.
2. Hunters Crossing / Pheasant Marsh Trail Crossing Sign
Ms. Stephan reported she had been contacted by Jane Premble with Anoka County and the trail
crossing sign the city had requested will be installed within the next few weeks. The sign will be
yellow and black, marked with trail crossing and placed 500 feet from the trail off Centerville Road in
both the north and south bound lanes.

3. Grants Update
Committee Member Peil met with City Administrator Moore-Sykes to discuss the possibility of
applying for grants and was told it was too late to submit any grants for 2003. The process needs to be
started in the fall of the year prior to applying. Committee Member DeVine stated there is no money in
the budget for matching grants and the state is proposing cuts so it didn't make sense to apply for
grants. Committee Member Peil said the grants should be applied for every year regardless as and this
gives the city a better chance of getting a grant when money is available. The committee will start
looking at previous grants around budget time so modifications and updates can be made in preparation
of applying in 2004.
4. Earth Dav Celebration
Chairperson DeVine suggested the committee be involved with Earth Day on April 19, 2003. In
previous years the committee picked up parks and gave wild flower seeds, pop, cookies and balloons
away. She would like the committee to do something similar this year. This will be put 'on the next
agenda to determine the exact activities.
Motion was made by Chairperson DeVine, seconded by Committee Member Peil to recommend
to council expending funds not to exceed $150.00 in association with Earth Day events planned at
local parks. All in Favor: Motion carried unanimously.
Motion was made by Committee Member LeBlanc, seconded by Committee Member Seeley, to
adjourn the March 5, 2003 Parks and Recreation Meeting at 8:25 p.m. All in Favor: Motion
carried unanimously.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Kim Stephan
SUBJECT: Parks & Recreation Recommendation for Hunters Crossing 2ndAddition
DATE: March 7,2003
Motion was made by Committee Member Peil, seconded by Chairperson DeVine to recommend
to City Council to accept Mr. Richard Carlson's proposal as presented at the March 5, 2003
Parks & Recreation Committee meeting. This would include 3 Y2 acres of wetland with
approximately 1 acre of dry ground, changing the location of the trail to surround the large pond
besides Wiharbor's property to the north side and to accept the land as a donation to the city
taking park dedication fees in lieu of land. All sidewalks will be eliminated in this development
and the trail will be extended from the northeast corner along the west side of the development
using the St. Paul Water Utility easement, with a stub from the trail to Beaver Pond Way
between lots 1 and 2, block 1 and a stub between the trail and Beaver Pond Way between lots 15
and 16, block 1. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously.
The following was taken from the 03-12-03 City Council Meeting Minutes:
Council Member Lee indicated there is a motion that is missing from the agenda and it was in regard to
a Parks and Recreation recommendation concerning Hunter's Crossing.
Ms. Moore-Sykes explained that it was pulled from the agenda because the wording of the motion was
confusing and sent back to the Parks and Recreation Committee for clarification.
Ms. De Vine asked for clarification on procedures and protocol because she does not understand why
when the Committee makes a recommendation it is removed from the agenda by Staff She then
suggested that Staff could review the tape from the meeting ifthere was confusion about the motion.
Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated the motion did not reflect the discussion and she was not sure what the
request was so she removed it from the agenda as she did not feel she could adequately explain it to
Council. She further indicated she had sent it back to the Committee for verification as she did not
know that Ms. De Vine would be at the Council meeting to interpret the motion.
Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated Staff could not understand if it was money or land. Ms. DeVine indicated
it was not the land or the sidewalks, it was the northwest stub for a trail, whether or not it was between
Lot 1 and 2 or Lots 5 and 6 or at all.
Council Member Broussard Vickers recommended having the motion read back for clarification if
there is a long motion to avoid this type of issue in the future.
Ms. Stephan indicated she listened to the tape and typed it verbatim but the Committee had a stub
where it is not feasible to have a stub. There was confusion among three members DeVine said
between Lots 2 and 3, Brian said between Lots 5 and 6 and that is swamp and Lots 2 and 3 is two lots
away from the trail.
Ms. Stephan indicated the motion did not explain any of the proposals that Mr. Carlson presented and,
when Stafflooked at the discussion, the motion did not make sense.
Ms. Stephan indicated Ms. Moore-Sykes had asked whether the Committee wanted to take park
dedication fees in lieu of land as that did not make sense when the Committee is accepting 4.5 acres of
land. Staff brought up the sidewalk issue as the Committee made a motion to accept no sidewalks but
that cannot be done because it is a collector street and collector streets must have sidewalks.
Ms. Stephan indicated she had contacted Ms. DeVine to ask if the Committee wished to
reconsider the motion and she said to put it t1u'ough, so she asked Ms. Moore-Sykes who told her to
send it back to the Committee for clarification and that is what she did since Ms. Moore-Sykes is her
supervIsor.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Kim Stephan
SUBJECT: Parks & Recreation Recommendation
DATE: March 7, 2003
At the February 5,2003 Parks & Recreation meeting the following recommendation was made:
Motion was made by Committee Member Peterson, seconded by Committee Member LeBlanc to
recommend to City Council the hiring of a Parks & Recreation Coordinator. All in Favor:
Motion carried unanimously.
At the March 5, 2003 Parks & Recreation meeting the committee submitted the following description
for the tasks and duties of a Parks and Recreation Coordinator. This position would be a part-time, year
round job. The emphasis in the past has been on summer programs, but it is anticipated that activities
should be year round.
* Promote and coordinate city wide child/youth/adult programs, activities,
and events.
* Research and suggest Parks and Recreation related activities for the city.
Examples would be sports, educational, and entertainment.
* Interact with adjoining communities and organizations to coordinate and plan programs and
activities.
* Publicize city activities i.e., flyers, newspapers, and web site.
* Coordinate registration for the activities, as necessary and document participation for Parks and
Recreation planning purposes.
* Collect Parks and Recreation program fees, related accounting and tracking paperwork.
* Coordinate and document use of park resources, such as sports fields.
* Answer questions from the public related to Parks and Recreation activities and resources. Relay
suggestions to the Parks and Recreation Committee.
The following was taken from the 03-12-03 City Council Meeting Minutes
Parks & Recreation Committee Recommendations
Mayor Sweeney indicated that the only way the City could invest money for a Parks and Recreation
Coordinator, even part-time, would be to attempt to find the funds for it in next year's budget. He then
said he would like to look at working with Lino Lakes to utilize their Parks Department as a joint
powers arrangement.
Council Member Capra indicated she had called all of the Parks and Recreation Committee member
except for Ms. DeVine because she did not have the right telephone number for her to ask what t1
desired. She then said she does not think it is the time to hire another employee and would like t
"
if there is someone who would want to work as a paid volunteer for a stipend to coordinate recreation
for the City.
Mayor Sweeney indicated the City has a good little league and soccer program and he does not want to
reinvent the programs that are already working, but would like to see a pony league football program.
Ms. DeVine asked who would be coordinating that. Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated the
City does not have money in the budget and said if the money was there, she would have approved it
two years ago. She then said she would like to contact Lino Lakes and ask them for a proposal for
providing contract services to the City.
Council Member Lee indicated that he has a good relationship with Barry from Lino Lakes and offered
to contact him concerning this matter. He then said that Parks and Recreation does not desire to
recreate or replace what is existing but wants to enhance what is already available.
Council Member Lee commented that he could have saved all the Parks and Recreation Committee
Members and Council Member Capra time if she had contacted him concerning the wishes of the
Committee as he is the liaison.
A resident in attendance asked whether the City does anything with Anoka County in the County Park.
Mayor Sweeney indicated lifeguards are offered at the beach, but the park is not finished, this is only
the first phase. Council Member Capra indicated there was kayaking, canoeing and once a month
during the "Tuesday in the Park" Wargo Nature Center.

Dear Mr. Larson:
At their October 2002, the City of Centerville Park and Recreation Committee requested
that Staff send a letter to you requesting financial assistance in the form of charitable
gambling proceeds for the purpose of purchasing bicycle racks for the City parks. As
stated in the letter dated October 11, 2002, the Commission received estimates for the
purchase and installation of these bike racks and they reported that the cost would be
about $2,000.
As you recall, on February 12, 2003 the City Council asked why the Committee's request
for bicycle racks had been denied. You reported that Dead Broke Saddle Club does not
donate directly to cities and that Centerville's original request had been submitted by the
City. It was then explained to you that the Park and Recreation Committee had submitted
the request through the City Administrator, Kim Moore-Sykes and that the request for
donations was not from the City.
I am again submitting a request for consideration by Dead Broke Saddle Club, from the
Park and Recreation Committee to receive a donation of $2,000 for the purchase of
bicycle racks for the City parks.
Thank you for your reconsideration ofthe Park and Recreation Commission's request. If
you have any questions or comments, please feel free to call City Hall, 651-429-3232.
Sincerely,

Dear Karla,
Now that the high school state hockey tournament has come and gone for another
year, we know that this winter hockey season is also ending. On behalf of the
players, coaches, parents and Centennial Youth Hockey Association (CYHA), I
would like to warmly and graciously thank you for allowing us to use your Centerville
ice rink at LaMotte Park for the 2002-2003 outdoor ice season.
We truly appreciate the support you have given our hockey program and the youth
involved. We wanted to show our support this fall by being able to help you
purchase your outdoor hockey nets; may they provide you with many years of
enjoyment and use for the community. Personally, it has been a pleasure working
with you in conjunction with CYHA. You certainly make my job as the outdoor ice
coordinator an easy one.
As part of my job, I will analyze our past usage hours and submit a formal request to
you to use your rinks for the 2003-2004 hockey season. I look forward to working
with you during the next hockey season and will be in touch in the fall.
For most teams, outdoor ice use is an important part of their success. Thank you
again for your continued support of Centennial Youth Hockey Association and the
youth we serve, and for playing a role in our teams' success. Enjoy your summer; I
will contact you in the fall.
Sincerely,

Centerville Administrative Offices
1880 Main Street
Centerville, MN. 55038
February 24,2003
Dear Mayor Swedberg and City Council Members,
This letter is to update you on the outcome of the Peltier heron rookery during the 2002 nesting
season.
Due to all the good efforts that were exerted by the staff and Council members from
both Lino Lakes and Centerville, the no-wake surface zone use regulations were adopted by both
cites in record breaking time. Many DNR staff with experience in adopting such ordinances
expressed their amazement at the promptness with which these ordinances were accomplished
by both Cities. As the resource managers involved in this effort, we want to thank each of you
for responding to the need for such management actions. The buoys delineating the no-wake
zone on Peltier Lake were set in place by Anoka County Parks staff on June 11 th, 2002.
The birds at issue, however, did not wait for our protective actions. True to their own "biological
clocks", the first great blue herons to return to the lake were noted along Rice Creek below the
Peltier Lake dam by March 19th. By mid April, both the great blue herons and the great egrets
were observed at nests on the island. The herons were also observed picking up sticks and other
material for nest building. For more detailed information on the birds' behavior, please see the
attached report prepared by Art Hawkins. It should be noted that the weather in April was
remarkably variable with 86 degree high temperatures on April 18th between two snow storms
April 3rd and April 21st.
Bi-weekly aerial monitoring at all metro region heron rookeries by the DNR also indicated a
good start to the nesting season, with both great blue herons and great egrets observed in the
Peltier rookery during April. However, during the aerial survey on May 3rd, our observer noted
that the number of great egrets had dropped from the 50 egrets seen on April 23rd to only 4 great
egrets observed standing in the trees.

By the end of April, the great egrets had abandoned the colony. The great blue herons remained
through the month of May with stick collecting as an indication of nest activity observed through
mid-May. On May 17th, the Metropolitan Mosquito Control District helicopter was observed
along the west shore of the lake. Its presence caused the great blue herons to leave the island.
There were 300-400 great blue herons present on May 2Sth during the aerial survey. There was
considerable boat activity noted during the month of May, with heavy activity over the Memorial
Day weekend. Some of this boating activity occurred north of the island because the buoys had
not yet been placed.
Unfortunately, by June 3rd, it was apparent that the great blue herons had also abandoned the
colony. A visit to the island on June 4th and SlIt by field staff from the DNR and Anoka County
Parks confirmed that the site had been abandoned and very little evidence of egg laying or
hatching of young could be found. Once again, the birds at the Peltier Lake heron rookery failed
to successfully nest at the colony site.
As you know, the fate of these birds was of considerable interest to many concerned residents of
your community. A number of news media followed the story through the season. A very
concise summary of the season can be found in the attached article which appeared in the fall
issue of Imprint (volume XIX (3)) from the Bell Museum of Natural History at the U. of
Minnesota.
As great blue herons and great egrets are both long Ii ved species, we are hopeful that they will
once again return to Peltier Island this spring. We are proceeding on that assumption and will
again conduct monitoring to record their presence and activity. We will also establish the no-
wake boundary as soon as ice out allows, and will be posting the nesting island as a "do not
disturb area in the hopes of deterring human activity on the island.
Please feel free to call either of us if you have any questions. We would be glad to visit with you
and the City Council, should you like to discuss this information further.
Thank you for your continuing support to protect and manage the special and important natural
resources of Peltier Lake.
Sincerely,

THE PELTIER LAKE HERONRY, 2002 AND BEYOND
JUNE 15,2002
ART HAWKINS
Six great blue herons had arrived this year by March 19 along Rice Creek below Peltier
Lake dam where it was ice free. By March 30 at least 5 pairs of herons were standing on nests of
Peltier Island but a 5 inch snowfall on April 3 caused the birds to return to the open water of Rice
o Creek. They had returned to their nests by April 7in greater numbers than before the snow. I
counted 73 herons-at nests on Apri11Z'but no egretsyet:-
0- _ . '. ~ ". :"' ..__. _ _. _ _..
ICe-out on most local lakes occurred on April 14 and the next day I saw 15 egrets at nests
. '"
at the colony. At least 20 egrets were standing Em'nests: by:4/18 when the temp reached 86
degrees. Eight herons came to the "stick field" for nest repair materials. Then, on 4/21 another
major snowstorm made this the snowiest April on record. On April 30, Gordy Brandsriess and I
checked the heronry from 8:15-9:15 AM. Only 3 herons came to the stick field but unusually
large numbers were flying from or coming to the heronry. Only one egret was seen during the
hoUr. ~
On May 3 fishermen motored to the bog-stick:s narrows then cut the motor and drifted,
casting toward shore along the north shore of the island but caused no noticeable reaCtion from
the birds. I could see maybe 20 herons and 2 or 3 egrets at nests. Steve Kittleson flew by on
regular count. Eagle on nest and two swans flew into North Arm of the lake from the south.
..-
On 5/4 at 1 PM, I received a call from Ron Marier reporting a motor boat circling Peltier
island. I notified Joan Galli who picke~ me up and we joined Ron at the lookout on his property
where he described the boat's activity. We could see perhaps 30 herons at nests but none came
ror sticks during our stay. From the west side we could see herons but no egrets at nests. A
peregrine flew by as we entered the Wargo east gate.
On 5/9 from 9:30 - 10:00 AM we saw no herons come to sticks and only a couple flying
out. However it was very windy. Onmafj3,from 7:20 - 8:20 AM, 3 herons came for sticks, 6
herons flew into or out from the heroIlI)"'Ymore distant points and 16 herons were counted on
nest. Brief sleet shower with temp. around 40 degrees. Two eagles flew over the island. It was
apparent that the egrets had deserted the heronry.
On April 18 when Jennifer Amee from the Bell Museum visited the heronry with me I
thought that nest repair process was starting. On Earth Day, April 22, the herons lan~~1j{l~
stick area at the rate of one per minute. On April 26, Joan Gilbertson and Joe Berglowe,'fetr/
Perry, Ron Marier and Steve Kittleson joined me for pictures of the heronry from Marier's look.,-
that they even tried to nest. Egg shells found under nesting trees indicated that at least some
herons tried to nest but no evidence was found that any eggs hatched. The scarcity of shells
found under trees containing nests and the absence of eggs or young found in nests by climbers
suggests that no serious nesting efforts occurred, despite the lengthy presence ofthe birds at
nests. The weak effort of the birds to gather nest materials, as compared with previous years,
supports this weak effort hypothesis.
Some people have blamed the Bald Eagle for the desertions. There is an eagle nest on the
island this year which is surrounded by trees with heron nests. During my many visits to the
heronry, I saw eagles almost every time but never saw a threatening act toward the herons by the
eagles or any concern evidenced by the herons when an eagle flew over or landed in their midst.
The tree climber checked the eagles' nest and the ground beneath the tree but found no evidence
of the eagles preying on herons or egrets.
'"
The loss of production of young in this colony during this 3-year period totals several
thousand, a serious blow to the colonial nesting population of the metro area and state and a
deplorable failure of management. The adults are alive to try again but will they try again at a
place they have failed three times? Or, they can move to a new location but where? Ideal sites
like Peltier Island are rare to non-existent. .

, =INDING MYSELF NOW ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE WATER TOWER. I THEN PULLED TO TH~ NORTH END OF THE
;>A TH AND ASSESSED THE POSSISILlTY OF ~ULLlNG ONTO THE GRASS TO TURN AROUND. I BELIEVED THIS WOULD
;ZE:SUL T IN TIRE TRACKS IN THE GRASS AND I DECIDEO TO AGAIN ATTEMPT TO R~VERSE SOUTHBOUND OUT OF THE
'ARK. THE RESULT WAS THE SAME, AND UF'ON REACHING THE AREA OF TH~ WATER TOWER MY PATROL VEHICLE
;UD OFF THE PATH TO THE W~ST AND CAME VER.Y CLOSE TO THE SUPPORT LEGS OF THE WATER TOWER.
~T THIS TIME IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BACK DOWN TH5 PATH AND WOULD HAVE TO PULL
)NTO THE GRASS TO TURN AROUND AND DRIVE FORWARD ~ASTTHE TROUBLE SPOT. I THEN PULLED ONTO THE
3RASS AND STOPPED TO REVERSE AND PULL FORWARD IN A SOUTHBOUND DIR5CTION. WHEN r STOPPED THE
fEHICLE TIRES SUNK INTO THE SOFT GRASS AND MUD.! WAS UNABLE TO MOVE THE PATROL VEHICLE OUT OF THE
~RASS. i CONTACTED CHIEF HECKMAN AND INFORMED HIM I WAS STUCK IN MCBRIDE PARK AND WOULD REQUIRE
I. TOW TRUCK TO GET OUT. I THEN ORDERED A AUTO-MEDICS TOW FROM DISPATCH.
~UTO"MEDICS TOW A~R!VED AND I INFORMED 'THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND POINTED OUT
iHE SPOT WHERE I COULD NOT GET MY VEHICLE PAS! WITHOUT IT SLIDING OFF THE PATH. THE TOW DRIVER
