The hunt would be conducted on the north side of North Shore Drive (County Road <br />.‘51) where the Park Reserve owns approximately 60 acres. <br />Tl;,* Park District is requesting a license similar to an ordinance amendment in 1987 that allows <br />shot gun hunting u. Baker Park. <br />f <br />t <br />The Park District is proposing to allow hunters for one week periods starting the week of <br />September 26 through the end of November. (The first few weeks would be weekdays only <br />because of scheduled weddings at Noerenberg Gardens.) <br />The names of the hunters have been selected in cooperation with the DNR from members of the <br />Minnesota Bow Hunters Association. In following years hunters would be selected from four <br />hunting organizations in the State which certify their members after completing training classes. <br />The Park Reserve works with other cities including; Medina, Maple Grove, Dayton, Victoria <br />and Minnetrista in hunting permits. These cities license the Park Reserve and the Park Reserve <br />licenses the individual hunters. (The Park Reserve is treated as an individual licensing <br />authority.) <br />The ordinance amendment in 1987 allowing shot gun hunting in Baker Park included the <br />conditions that all abutting property owners be notified by letter 10 days in advance and <br />appropriate signage be posted around the boundaries to limit unauthorized access during the <br />hunt. Although the proposed bow hunting site is owned by the Park District, this area is not <br />open to the public although it is possible for the public to access this area. <br />Larry Gillette of the Park District will be in attendance to discuss this item. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br />Motion to approve/deny an ordinance amendment to allow licensing of the Park District for bow <br />hunting, with conditions if desired.
