DeLuca, Pearson and Bawden. Voting No: None. <br /> <br />Geese 9roblem at Rum R{ver R~ls Golf COtlr~t <br /> <br />Mr. Rartley recalled that Council previously introduced an ordinance that <br />would give Council the authority to permit the shooting of geese at the Rum <br />River Hills Golf Course by approved organizations. <br /> <br />Ruth Dahlin - stated that her family is very upset at the thought of <br />shooting innocent water fowl; that the shooting of these geese will not <br />prevent them from coming back to the golf course in future years. Ms. <br />Dahlin noted that there are only a few weeks of golfing activity left in <br />this season and requested that Council find an alternative solution to the <br />geese population other than shooting. <br /> <br />Councilmember Pearson stated that he has talked to Wes Bulen, developer of <br />the golf course, and he was surprised to hear tha~ there was a geese <br />population problem at the golf course. Mayor Reimann stated that even <br />though DNR claims that a controlled hunt is the most effective way to <br />control geese population, he feels that shooting the geese should only be <br />used as a last resort to solving the problem. <br /> <br />It was a unanimous consensus of the Council not to adopt the proposed <br />ordinance to allow the shooting of geese at the Rum River Rills Golf <br />Course. <br /> <br />Case <br /> <br />Select{on of {nsurmnce m*~nt of record {or the City pi <br /> Ramse¥. <br /> <br />Mr. Conway Olson, Ramsey's current agent of record was present to give a <br />presentation on insurance coverage for the City of Ramsey for the upcoming <br />year. <br /> <br />Finance Officer Sandra Ashley stated that the city received three responses <br />the the ad for an agent of record. The applicants are T.C. Field and <br />Company, FBS Insurance, and Radtrath and Associates. Radtrath and <br />Associates was the low bidder. <br /> <br />Mr. Rartley noted that Mr. Michael Radtrath hms filed for a Council seat, <br />and if elected, this contract for agent of record may be viewed as a <br />conflict of interest. <br /> <br />Mr. Michael Eadtrath was present and stated that he had hoped this <br />insurance issue would be resolved before the candidacy filing dates began. <br />Mr. Radtrath stated that his bid meets all of the qualifications, that he <br />is the low bidder, that he intends to do a good job for Ramsey and that he <br />should be awarded the contract for agent of record. Mr. Eadtrath stated <br />that he does not feel there is a conflict of interest at the present time, <br />nor will there be one if he is elected to Council. But should there be <br />one, he is prepared to take the appropriate action necessary. <br /> <br />Mr. Conway Olson of T. C. Field and Company stated that when the City is <br />obtaining professional services, the Iow bidder aspect is not necessarily <br />City Council / September 27, 1988 <br /> <br />Page 8 of 18 <br /> <br /> <br />
