CITY ADMINISTRATOR City Administrator Greg Mills reported research on the deer control within the City and he had a meeting with the Missouri Conservation Department. There is the managed hunt option that many cities participate in, but there are requirements that the Mo. Dept. of Conservation must follow to gather information on numbers to calculate the deer population. There are two sample ordinances in your packet that other cities have adopted. Parkville's ordinance simply states that you cannot feed the deer. The other ordinance is from Lee's Summit and it says that you cannot feed wildlife. Staff would like the Board's direction on this issue. Following discussion, Mills responded that the Missouri Conservation Department will conduct the deer population count this winter and they expect the count to be excessive. Consensus of the Board was to move forward with the Missouri Conservation Department to do the population count first and then bring that back to the Board. ADMINISTRATION Administration Director Meredith Hauck stated that the Tourism Commission currently has their RFP out for 2015 Tourism Projects. Proposals are due November 25'" and the projects that the City will be submitting for consideration; a historical sign the Fairfax Bridge that will be located at the MRT trailhead, additional directional signage for the trail system, funding for the history intern for the summer, and funding for an art's commission. 4 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Nothing to report.
