Stoner also noted that he had questions regarding 131 what he felt was an excessive tree removal at the new Senior Living Community at Lexington and 132 County Rd.

To date the United States 143 Department of Agriculture (USDA) has taken 32 deer (23 from south of Highway 36 and 9 144 from north of Highway 36). The two reduction dates were December 7 and 19. Currently, 145 baiting has begun at Ladyslipper Park. Sites south of Highway 36 have been suspended. The 146 flyover for population analysis by Ramsey County will be completed within the next few 147 weeks, as weather allows. Meat from the deer is donated to families in need. The city has 148 requested that the meat be donated to families in Roseville who are in need first. 149 Staff plans to ask the City Council to accept two large donations: 150 o A substantial donation from FOR Parks for an all-inclusive play structure. It is 151 anticipated that this would be a 2021 project with 2020 used for planning. 152 o A substantial donation from the Central Park Foundation for lighting at the Central 153 Park Arboretum. This is anticipated to be a multi-year project. 154 Storage at Fairview Community Center is going away with the removal of the old building 155 and no room for storage was planned with the new building. Currently, 1,200 feet is leased 156 from the School District for storage of 6 different association’s equipment. Staff is working 157 with the associations to find a solution. Commissioner Dahlstrom relayed that he is on the 158 Softball Board and they are very worried about the storage issue. 159 160 4 7
