Based on science, statistics and expert advice; the calculation method below has been <br />suggested as a reasonable way to arrive at the number of tags requested for the season <br />and ultimately the desired number of deer to reduce the herd by. The method has been <br />used for a few years and seems to provide good management guidance. Reduction efforts <br />still prioritize females but will also purposefully include some males. <br />Survey –January 23, 2021– 41 minimum <br />Taken since survey –-8taken <br />Remaining herd 33 <br />Assume ½ are female (16.5) <br />Assume 2 fawns each (add 33) + 33 <br />Population 66 <br />Habitat support - 17 <br />Reduce -49 <br /> <br />Cost is also a consideration. The USDA charges for actual time and materials only. The <br />following are the costs incurred for each of the three completed seasons and the upcoming <br />budget for this fifth season: <br /> <br />Season Number of Deer Taken Cost <br />2017/18 20 $ 3,771.70 <br /> 2018/19 20 $ 7,363.65 <br /> 2019/20 46 $15,200.00 <br />2020/21 31 $15,104.00 <br />2021/22 TBD$17,000.00 BUDGET <br />Roseville has a thoughtful, sensitive and incremental program; taking 20 deer the first <br />season, 20 the second season, 46 the third season and 31 this last season. Requesting the <br />tags does not necessarily mean that they will be used similar to this past season where 85 <br />tags were requested and 31 deer were taken. <br />Requested Commission Action: Discuss and provide advice/recommendation on <br />program, locations and a reduction number. <br /> <br />5. Pickleball Courts Discussion <br />Pickleball has been an ongoing sport of interest in the Roseville Community for a number of <br />years. Although it has been thought of as a sport played by an older demographic in the <br />past, in recent years the sport has grown significantly at all age levels. Click here for a short <br />video about pickleball. <br />Because of increased interest and resident requests, in 2015 pickleball lines for four <br />portable courts were overlaid on the two Evergreen Park tennis courts to allow for multi-use <br />with tennis. A portable pickleball equipment box was made available on site for players to <br />useas a set up and take down as needed.Currently, the Evergreen Park courts are <br />prioritized for tennis 50% of the time and pickleball 50% of the time. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
