I am requesting to be put on the agenda ahead of any others, such as city staff, committees, officials, etc., not representing the "public" or media, per the resolution passed by the council regarding the purpose of and procedure for public participation sessions . I make this request because it was unclear to me from the public meeting notice whether the items noted on the combined Public Participation meeting/Work Session notice were for the public participation session or the work session. I also make the request because in the past some public participation agenda items by city staff, committees, officials and others not representing the public as identified in the resolution have come first during the meeting, leaving the public's agenda item requests for last, for which there has not always been time giving the length of some of the city's presentations . I appreciate Council President Lonnie Mixon's granting of a fiimilar request of mine earlier this year and trust the same will occur Monday night. My agenda item concerns the recent removal of geese from the city's beach-front park. In the past the council, mayor and staff have been helpful in responding to The Courier's request at public participation sessions when I included the information I was seeking in advance. Some of the information and questions below I requested last week of City Administrator Gregg Mims, who said he would be obtaining it. I am listing those items and others as follows in the event that doing so can help expedite my agenda item, as well the related public records request to be filed prior to the meeting: 1. When did the geese removal take place, from where specifically and at what time of day or night, and for how long? 2. When was the request made of USDA to do so, and specifically for what action to be taken, by whom and in what form-that is, what kind of communication, written or oral by which official and city staff member-and when did USDA confirm that they would do so, by whom at the agency, and in what form? 3. Were there any permits or other city procedures with which USDA had to obtain or comply regarding the action? Was there a written contract with USDA for the action? Was it approved by the council? 4. How much, if anything, did USDA say the removal action would cost, have they billed the city yet, and for how much? Has the city paid? What part of the city's budget will these funds come from? How much did the overall removal cost, including extra city staff time and/or other costs, in addition to that billed by USDA and/or related federal or state agencies? 5. How many geese were removed and by what methods? How many vehicles and staff of USDA were involved · n the action? Which city employees were involved during the removal-that is, were police or others involved to cordon off the beach-front park or otherwise assist or observe? 6. Was the beach-front park closed to the public and by what means during the removal? 1 ' 7. Were the geese relocated, and, if so, to where? Or were the geese killed by USDA or are there plans to do so? If the geese were killed or there plans are to do so, by what method? 8. Will the next removal take place in October as Mr. Mims told The Courier last week? Are there any future expected removals scheduled? 9. Was the Fairhope Environmental Advisory Board, which has been studying the issue and had planned to make a recommendation to the council and mayor regarding the matter, consulted or its advice sought prior to the removal? If not, why not? 10. Were any other waterfowl or animals harmed during the relocation? Thank you for your assistance.

After digging into the issue this week, The Fairhope Courier reported in its Aug. 10 print edition that some 40 Canada geese had already been moved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture on instructions from city leaders. http://www.gulfcoastnewstoday.com/area news/article 8650f46a-e308-11 e l-83ec-00 19bb... 8/13/20 I 2 Ut:t:S removt:u .lnJID rwrno pe s S WUillIW i g Ot:l:l~ll IWSL Wt:t:A.. -UW.l\..,UW,Ll'ICW:Hvuuy .\;Ulll....

This project was to be conducted in two phases. Phase I of the project included contracting with a local engineer to develop a watershed management plan for the Volanta Gulley watershed. The City contracted with Engineer, Trey Jinwright of Jade Consulting. This portion of the plan also included the design of a minimum of five construction-ready projects within the watershed. One of the projects was to be designed to alleviate drainage problems just West of Greeno Road/ Highway 98 and one at Jasmine Park . There was to be a detailed scope of work, schedule, and budget for (at least) two of the five construction projects. Phase I of our contract with the Mobile Bay National Estuary Program was completed in Spring of 2012 and we are currently installing Phase II. Phase II of this grant project is to use the city's own labor and equipment to construct a minimum of two of the designed projects. Grant funds were to be utilized to purchase the supplies required for projects. The construction plans proposed and management plan can be found on the ci ty's website under Deportments, Public Works, Vo/onto Gulley Management plan. The City of Fairhope, along with Engineer Trey Jinwright of Jade Consultfng, held two public meetings to gather input. The result from the last public meeting on January 17th and the directives from the city council included: 1) Contact Arbor Gates and recommend that they make their holding pond hold more water during storm events. There were several simple solutions suggested by Jade Consulting. Status: Completed 7 /2012 . Public Works Director met with Managers of Arbor Gates discussing the problem with their stormwater. This meeting was followed up with a letter. Arbor Gates prom ised to look Into the issues and expressed their willingness to do what they could to address the problem . 2) Contact the Alabama Department of Transportation and request that the ditches along Greeno Road (aka Highway 98) be designed in such a way that they would hold, retain and fi ltrate the water leaving t he road w ay . The re was an exampl e shown of what could work. Status : Completed 8/2012. Public Works Director, ALDOT officials, and Jade Consulting met and discussed methodology and options of watershed management on the right of way. This effort was followed up by a letter to ALDOT officials. ALDOT expressed willingness to address issues, but questioned whether the city could fund the effort. 3) Design a larger retention facility at Volanta Ball fields. Status : In progress July-August 2012 . 4) Design a retention facility at Jasmine Park with the water holding no more than two days after a rain event. Jasmine Park shall be kept as a playing field for recreation activities and maintain the swing sets and playground equipment that exists currently. Status : Public Works has not started this project. The estimated project start date is late August 2012 . 5) If money allows, design a bio-retention pond at Jasmine/ Yupon and secondly at Westley and Central. Status : Westley and Central projects were completed in May 2012 . These projects were bumped up to be implemented as part of a public works demonstration during Pu blic Works week in May and did not require a permit from ADEM . The Jasmine/ Yupon w i ll be considered as we install the Jasmine Park improvements. 6) Consider placing blocks on the storm drain inlet along Westley to reenact the Old Grady pond that historically existed in the area. Status: This was completed in May of 2012 as part of the Public Works demonstration. However, the blocks multiplied a perched water table issue that the residence had historically experienced. In late May and June, we experienced heavy rains which worsened the problem. The blocks where thus removed to alleviate the homeowners problem in July. Also included in the initial plans were to construct projects similar to Westley /Central intersection at the Patlynn/ Leslie, Patlynn/ Allison and Audubon/ North Ingleside intersections. Public Works would have moved ahead with these projects if it was consensual with adjoining property owners and if funding allowed after the large construction projects were completed. We have discussed these projects with the adjacent landowners at Patlynn/Leslie and at Patlynn/ Allison. While some of the property owners were consensual, some of the adjoining landowners were not consensual as of May, 2012 . - ( 4. 4, '-----~~------; . 0 J ' /) /1 I 0 • ~ JI_ ~ ~I ( r I-~ ( -~l 1)-+/ff[_ r, ~ ' ..._ I ~ ~~ I .
