VISITOR PRESENTATIONS
1. Don McDonald Citizen Action Request
Don McDonald asked the City Council to consider an ordinance to restrict the feeding of
wildlife. In his neighborhood there is a person who likes to throw food on the ground and they
have deer, turkeys, raccoons, geese, and some people have mice in their homes which they
believe is due to the food on the ground. He checked surrounding cities’ ordinances and noted
Mound had a good one which he submitted to the City while standing at the podium.
Mayor Ryan thanked Mr. McDonald and noted he would hear back from City Staff or City
Council on next steps.
Mr. McDonald noted, especially in the spring, it is not healthy with the geese as they spread stuff
on sidewalks, driveways, and grass in the neighborhood.
PUBLIC HEARING: None.
GENERAL BUSINESS: None.
