It was mentioned that some residents may not realize they can <br />obtain a permit to hunt deer on their property or open their property for another hunter to do so. <br />Police Chief Way stated the City currently has a pool of screened hunters and described the <br />application process. He advised that turkeys fall under the same regulations and the DNR <br />supports the City allowing some hunting, as long as it occurs during the appropriate hunting <br />season. <br />Following discussion, the consensus of the Council was to continue the current system since it <br />was working well, and directed staff to promote the program on the City's website and <br />newsletter. <br />City Council / August 28, 2012 <br />Page 5 of 9 <br />
