It would be <br /> difficult to prohibit feeding of any game birds <br /> or wild anir.lals as we would have to justify <br /> feeding other birds and feeding of animals during <br /> extreme winters. r2any of us currently set out <br /> S bird feeders winter and summer, and some of <br /> the government agencies are 3�nown to have dropped <br /> � food for our wild animals during winters of heavy <br /> ' snowfalls. <br /> � �ae could consider distinguishing between private <br /> and public harboring of wildlife. <br /> � with some direction from the legal department, I <br /> � believe we could proceed on the basis of a nuisance <br /> to the community and harm to wildlife. �•7e do have <br /> quite a bit of creditable documentation leaning <br /> toward this conclusion. <br /> Planning Commission Pseeting - February 7 , 1977 <br /> Extre:nely concerned over health hazard and the deleterious <br /> effect on the ducks 'themselves. After a long discussion <br /> during the early hours of the morning, the Planning <br /> �ommission recommended the City adopt an ordinance prohibit- <br /> ing aerators for ducks (bubblers) without first obtaining <br /> a permit, and forbidding the feeding of ducks and other <br /> wild water fowl. <br /> � (Continued) <br /> • <br />
