represented the Plymouth Civic League. He stated
that in order to offsot the cost of development
of an amphitheater on the northwest corner of
Plymouth Creek park at 37th Avenue and Plymouth
Blvd., the following donations have been secured:
1) McCombs -Frank -Roos will do all of the site
surveying; 2) NSP will donate the pad mounted
transformer that is needed; 3) Weaver Electric
will provide any electrical hookups that are
needed at a reduced cost which the Civic League
will pay; and 4) Vern Peterson will donate his
caterpillar to do the site grading with the Civic
League paying the operating expenses such as gas
and oil.
The only remaining issue is that of seeding,
which is estimated to cost $1,500. He requested
that the city move ahead with the project based
on the donations received. Mr. McCombs stated
that a Councilmember had previously stated that
they had heard that the Civic League only intends
to host Music in Plymouth for one more year.
This is not true - the Civic League intends to
continue hosting the event.

Director Cariquiat stated the proposed ordinance
would provide that property owners would have to
give written permission to a hunter applying for
a permit from the police department.
Councilmember Helliwell stated she believes that
hunting can b•- unsafe in a City.
Councilmember Ricker asked if the proposed
permitting system would limit the number of
permits issued per parcel. Director Carlquiat
stated he had originally proposed four permits
per 10 acres of land? however, the DNR hda
indicated that the City will not have to worry
about limiting :..e number of hmiters. The
property owners will monitor that.
CoancilmemiHr Ricker asked whether City liability
has been addressed.
Director Carlquist stated Risk Management
Coordinator Pemberton indicated that as long as
hunting is provided for in the statute, the
liability would be to the property owner not the
City.
Councilmember Ricker asked staff to abtain
additional information on the permi`.ting system
used in Long Lake.
Jerry Theis, 801 Valley Drive, St. M+chaoi,
represented Dundee Nursery. He stated there is
aomrs concern about the overpopulation of deer in
Plymouth. A vehicle came through his nursery
attempting to avoid hitting a deer, and deer eat
his greenhouse material. He stated that a bow
and arrow hunt seems to be a reasonable method of
reducing the deer population. A hunt may not
kill a lot of deer, but it may disperse the deer
population. Mr. Theis stated he wouldn't allow
hunters on his property with the exception of a
few employees who may want to hunt.
Betty Baer, 55-0' Lanier Lane, asked how a deer
hunt would be policed. She stated there is no
way that she could control hunters on her land,
and she has already been approached by hunters
requesting permission to hunt if this ordinance
is adopted by the Council. 14s. Baer stated that
Pag-alar Council Meeting

in the past when the police hove responded to a
complaint of hunting on her property, the officer
has refused to Leave his vehicle and responded
that a game Marden would have to enforce the
violation. She suggested that if a hunt is
epnrnvad, that it bs limited to one weekend only.
Joe Rose, 5815 Troy Lane, stated there is a lot
c,i illegal hun'_ng occurring or. his property. He
agreed that the deer hord size should be reduced,
but suggested that a short season be considered.
Public Safety Director Carlquist responded to a
Coune_1 question that there were 125 deer/auto
collisions last year.
Jim Malone, +4064 Rico Lake Circle, stated he iL
interested in hunting in Plymouth. HA supported
a long hunting season, with property ownars
controlling the number of hungers on their
property.
Mayor Bergman asked whether the Council should
consider increased penalties for illegal hunting.
Director Carlquist stated the police officers can
enforce state and DNR laws. He encouraged Ms.
Baer to contact him in the future if she folt
police cfficers were not adequately enforcing
laws relative to huntinS.
MOTION was made by Councilmember Ricker, seconded
b; Councilmember Helliwell, to table to the next
meeting consideration of an ordinance revision to
allow hunting to reduce the deer population.
Motion carried, 'hree ayes.

Manager Willis reported that ballot materials
were mailed to over 34,000 registered voters on
August 14 for the September 3 mail ballot
referendum.
Manager Willis reported on the meeting held with
residents from the Northwest Blvd. area regarding
landscaping from 56th to 54th Avenues. He stated
the plan is being revised as requested by the
residents and then will be reviewed by the
residents. It may be available for presentation
to the Council by the September 16 meeting.
Manager Willis stated that a Hennepin County
representative has indicated that there may be
possible plans for reducing the size of the
proposed Hennepin County Waste Transfer Facility
in Plymouth. Modification of the plan may delete
the transfer station portion of the building and
retain only the recycling and household hazardous
waste sections. This would reduce the size of
the overall structure.
Councilmember Helliwell stated this may be
positive because one of the area residents
concerns was that the building was too large for
the site. A revised plan may resolve this
concern.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:25 p.m.
