Thank you to the many volunteers who made <br />this wonderful show possible. <br /> <br /> <br />Wildlife Management/Control in Roseville: <br /> <br />Over the years Roseville has taken a number of calls on deer and other wildlife <br />o <br />issues. Ten or more years ago, Parks & Recreation volunteered to take the calls and <br />work with Ramsey County. During the past 10 years Ramsey County has done <br />winter flyovers to track the number of deer in our City. Staff regularly get questions <br />on what the policy is for feeding deer in Roseville. Roseville does not have a policy <br />specifically addressing this, we suggest that they do not feed the deer. <br /> <br />Doneen added that an overly large deer population may be hazardous to <br />parklands and natural resources. <br /> <br />Others commented that there are also problems with coyote, geese and fox <br />in Roseville. <br /> <br />Brokke will include an update in a future meeting with tracking numbers. <br /> <br />Newby commented that it is important to track but also important to not let <br />isolated complaints or comments drive actions. <br /> <br /> <br />Gelbach asked about the upcoming burn at Langton Lake. <br /> <br />Brokke explained this is follow-up work for the Buckthorn removal that was done <br />o <br />on the west side of the lake last year. <br /> <br /> <br />D. Holt asked about the EAB status after the winter. <br /> <br />Brokke reported that unfortunately more trees have been identified with EAB and <br />o <br />the cold winter did not impact the bugs as much as we had hoped. <br /> <br /> <br />Anfang added: <br /> <br />The department 20 year reaccreditation visit will take place on May 20-22.
