PAUL MINNESOTA Last update: December 27, 2006 — 12:18 AM Coyotes love suburbs, but feeling isn't mutual Locally and across the country, the animals are creating comfortable lives in the suburbs, and that's causing safety worries among the human residents. By Darlene Prois, Star Tribune The all-night howling was annoying, but Craig Kronbeck could have accepted it as the price of the good life on the edge of a wildlife preserve. When two snarling coyotes threatened his beagle puppy only feet from him in his yard, however, the Red Wing man's concern immediately shifted to his young children. "A 4 -year-old isn't very big," Kronbeck said. "The coyotes are so brave now, you flip the light on and still have to go out and chase them away." And coyotes are moving into the suburbs, too, here and across the country, and in the process are losing their fear of humans. As more and more coyotes see the metro area as a refuge full of food, there are growing concerns about this increasingly bold predator. In Red Wing, city officials responded quickly to Kronbeck's concerns. Earlier this month, the City Council voted to trap and kill the neighborhood's coyote population, estimated at 10 to 20 animals. Closer to the Twin Cities, the suburb of Eagan reports as many as 90 coyote sightings a year, while nationally, the population of urban coyotes is exploding. Chicago, one of the few cities to study the animal, estimates that as many as 2,000 live in its metro area. Though some coyote attacks have been reported elsewhere, there are no reports of attacks in Minnesota. Still, coyotes' growing presence in the suburbs should raise concerns, said Ed Boggess, deputy director of the Division of Fish and Wildlife in the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. "In rural areas, coyotes get shot at," he said. "Urban areas become de facto wildlife refuges because there's no hunting. The animals become less fearful of humans." Exponential increase No one is sure how many coyotes live within the metro area, but there's plenty of anecdotal evidence. "The population has increased exponentially over the past 25 years," said Mike Tucker of Wildlife Control Services of Bloomington. This year he has received about 100 requests for coyote control. "I think I've gotten a call from just about every suburb," Tucker said. "We have coyotes in the inner core as well. I get calls where coyotes have been stalking pets or acting aggressively. They don't flee when the residents yell or throw things at them. They don't see humans as a threat." Gary Meis of Bruno, Minn., president of the Minnesota Trappers Association, has trapped coyotes for nearly 50 of his 59 years. He thinks city folks have good reason to feel nervous. "Can I believe an attack can happen? You bet I can," he said. "By nature, coyotes are shy and secretive, but when these animals lose their fear of humans, all bets are off. It's like the kid who took a cookie and got away with it; the next time they get bolder. [Coyotes] see a kitty cat and run in and snatch it and get a free meal, and they think, hey, that's not so tough, is it? They smell it, they see it and they come back for more." In most cases, the animals eat rats and other rodents, creating few problems for humans. Intentional feeding, however, is a different story. Maintaining the animals' fear of humans is an essential component of Co -Existing with Coyotes, a public education program whose concepts are used by many Minnesota cities. The program was begun in 2001 by a wildlife biologist in Vancouver, British Columbia, after coyotes there attacked at least six children. 12- Since the campaign started, there have been no additional attacks on humans there, despite an ever- increasing coyote population. "Coyotes are neat to see, but you don't want to encourage them or treat them like some family dog that's visiting," said the DNR's Boggess. Anxiety over coyote behavior is nothing new, but solutions remain elusive. Like Canada geese and whitetail deer, coyotes have adapted to suburban life, with its plentiful food supply — often human -supplied — and lack of predators. "People have been trying for generations to kill coyotes, but they've always failed," said Bryan Lueth, urban wildlife specialist for the DNR. "Coyotes are adaptable and intelligent, and you can never get them all." He admits that removing individual animals sometimes is required but says the DNR promotes coexistence and education over eradication. Responsibility unclear The task of dealing with aggressive urban coyotes doesn't fall to the DNR, however, but to local law enforcement agencies. They in turn are often forced to hire experts. "Our animal control expertise and equipment is for domesticated animals, not wild ones," said Blaine Police Chief Dave Johnson, whose city recently paid a trapper $1,500 to remove five coyotes from a park near Laddie Lake. "You have to be able to move the animals in a way that's safe for the people and domestic animals in the area." Experts say that coyotes are difficult to catch. "They're like the Super Bowl of trapping," Meis said. "I have the greatest respect for coyotes. They're suspicious, they're intelligent; their smell is uncanny.... The last two things that will walk the earth are a coyote and a turkey." Despite the difficulty, the number of coyotes killed through trapping or hunting in Minnesota doubled last year, from 18,000 to 39,000, according to the DNR. Concern about the cost and inefficiency of dealing with the Blaine coyotes recently prompted state Sen. Don Betzold, DFL -Fridley, to draft legislation intended to deal with the growing problem. His proposed solution, which he'll present in the coming session, is to shift responsibility from local public safety departments to the DNR. "They have the resources and know-how," he said. "We have to figure out who's in charge so we have a safe distance between the predatory animals in urban areas and the people who are living there."

PAUL MINNESOTA Last update: December 26, 2006 — 11:28 AM Three west -metro cities get $2.2 million The Metropolitan Council recently awarded $10.4 million in competitive grants to 15 cities across the metro. Of that, three west -metro cities grabbed almost $2.2 million. Not bad. West Metro Insider Jenna Ross The Metropolitan Council recently awarded $10.4 million in competitive grants to 15 cities across the metro. Of that, three west -metro cities grabbed almost $2.2 million. Not bad. Two cities, St. Louis Park and Long Lake, received Livable Communities Grants, which focus on building infrastructure for mixed-use development. St. Louis Park took the biggest share — $1.5 million for Hoigaard Village, an 80 -acre, 400 -unit residential and retail project near 36th Street and Hwy. 100. More than a third of that money will fund a large stormwater pond that, according to a Met Council release, is "creative" and "serves the needs of a broader geographic area." Long Lake's focus was stormwater as well. The city is readying itself for downtown redevelopment, and one of the biggest steps is stormwater improvements. With the $575,000 grant, the city plans to create those improvements areawide, rather than site -by -site, an idea the Met Council release applauds. Chaska nabbed a Met Council housing grant, which promotes affordable housing for low-income people. The $75,000 grant will help buy three townhouses in Clover Field and put them in a permanent land trust. Households that earn 50 to 60 percent of area median income — or $39,000 to $47,100 — will be eligible for the help. More stormwater As those grants might indicate, the Met Council has stormwater on the brain. In January, it will hold two meetings to discuss issues around stormwater and sanitary sewers in Excelsior. The planning agency is looking to upgrade a few of the city's lift stations and close another. It's all part of a Draft Facility Plan -- and an effort to increase service for the area's coming growth. A public information meeting will be held 7 p.m. Jan. 4 at Southshore Center, 5735 Country Club Road, Shorewood. The public hearing is two weeks later — 7 p.m. Jan. 17 at the same location. To check out the plan, visit Excelsior City Hall, 339 3rd St., Excelsior, or one of four other locations. Call Tim O'Donnell at 761-602-1269 for a summary of the plans or to find another location. The Met Council wants your input. To give it, e-mail data.center@metc.state.mn .us or call 651-291-0904. Want to serve? A new year, a new board. Around the west metro, cities are filling the open spots on their boards and commissions. For example, Long Lake is looking for three people to serve on its park board and two to serve on its comprehensive plan task force. In both cases, the deadline to apply is Jan. 12. In Plymouth, the charter commission has a vacancy. For more information on that spot, call City Clerk Sandy Engdahl at 763-509-5080. Your city might too have an opening. Most cities post vacancies, and the information about how to apply, on their websites' main pages. Jenna Ross • 612-673-7168 ©2006 Star Tribune.

PLAN AMENDMENT Dear Ms. Anderson, Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on the SCWMC Draft Major Plan Amendment. City staff has reviewed the plan and has found the plan to be generally consistent with the City's goals and objectives. The following are a few comments for your consideration before finalizing the plan: I, Section 7. Capital Improvements Program and Work Plan — No comments. II. Section 9. Amendments — No Comments III. Appendix G. — No comments, IV. Water Quality Plan a. Table 19. Overall Lake Scores for Recreational Lakes and associated tables for Access and Water Quality. i. For Schmidt Lake and under the "Access" column, two parking stalls have been installed in addition to the curb cut at the boat launch. This changes the "Access" score for Schmidt Lake from 3 to 1. ii. For Bass Lake and under the "Water Quality" column, the score of "I" is derived from a phosphorus measurement of 35 ppb. Our Water Resources Management Plan lists the phosphorous concentration at 67 ppb, This changes the "Water Quality" score from 1 to 3. III. For Bass Lake and under the "Access" column, the score of "I" is based on public access with parking. No public beaches, boat launches or parking is present on this lake. Our Water Resources Management Plan lists the only carry on access at Timber Shores Park. This changes the "Access" score from 1 to 3. 3400 Plymouth Blvd - Plymouth, Minnesota 55447•-1482 a Tel: 763-509-5000 a www.ci.plymouth.mn.us Now O:\I'ingineering\W"I'RRBSRC\LTRS\2006\SCWMC_.Al' Pin Amend conunents.doc Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the SCWMC Draft Major Plan Amendment and we look forward to working cooperatively with the SCWMC in the future.

Appendix G — Capital Improvements Program • No changes Appendix I - Water Quality Plan Added an Executive Summary to the Water Quality Plan that summarizes findings, city obligations, and potential costs and funding to implement recommendations. Throughout the document corrected the date wetlands functions and values assessments would be required to be completed (two years following final adoption of the Major Plan Amendment, estimated to be mid -2009) and the estimated dates future TMDLs would be completed. Clarified language that the MPCA is responsible for TMDLs, and the Shingle Creek Commission is completing TMDLs in partnership with that agency. Brooklyn Center • Brooklyn Park • Champlin • Crystal • Maple Grove • Minneapolis • New Hope • Osseo • Plymouth • Robbinsdale so • Added language that the Commissions will periodically review the need to adopt local, regional, or statewide TMDL activities, and whether a major or minor plan amendment would be required to do so. • Clarified language in Section 1.5.2, which sets forth the requirement that cities complete functions and values assessments for the high-priority wetlands identified in the Plan. This data will be used by the Commissions to develop a Wetlands Protection and Preservation Study with the advice and assistance of Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) partners and the US Army Corps of Engineers. This study will also include an evaluation of management strategies for smaller, isolated wetlands and the desirability of developing a Wetlands Management Plan for the watersheds. • Corrected data on Bass Lake and Meadow Lake public access. • Revised the Implementation Plan Estimated Costs table (Table 28) to separate Shingle Creek and West Mississippi activities and costs. The Commissions held a public hearing on the Major Plan Amendment on December 20, 2006. No comments were received at the hearing. A revised Major Plan Amendment incorporating the written comments is being forwarded to the appropriate agencies for final review and comment. It can be viewed on the Commission's web site, www.shinglecreek.org. Thank you for your time and thoughtful comments.
