Business Items — Presentations/Discussions a. Discussion on a Draft Ordinance Regarding Wildlife Management in Rose- ville City Manager Trudgeon briefly reviewed this issue as detailed in the RCA dated August 10, 2015, and referenced the draft ordinance prepared by staff and the City Attorney to initiate discussions (Attachment A). Mr. Trudgeon noted a one- page proposed ordinance drafted by Councilmember McGehee and provided as a bench handout, attached hereto arcd made a pa�t heNeof, entitled "Proposed Or- dinance Relating to the Banning of Deer Feeding in the City, Title 4, Chapter 411." At the request of Councihnember Laliberte, City Manager Trudgeon advised that this draft ordinance was not reviewed by the Parks & Recreation Commission for comment. At the request of Councilmember Willmus, City Manager Trudgeon confirmed that model ordinances form other metropolitan cities were used, with this draft based primarily on that used by the City of Shoreview. When researching the is- sue and contacting other metropolitan cities, Mr. Trudgeon noted that many of them were in similar positions to the City of Roseville, and were seeking input on the City of Roseville's research and recommendations. Councilrnember Willmus opined that the portion dealing with ground feeding and height of feeders in Councilmember McGehee's draft addressed that better than the staff draft, one aspect he was interested in pursuing further. City Manager Trudgeon clarified that it was not the intent of staff to get into the minutia of specific issues unless so directed, but the preference was to educate residents versus patrolling and enforcement. Councilmember Willmus noted, acknowledged by City Manager Trudgeon, that the draft ordinance referenced a Wildlife Management Plan not yet created.
