Explanation: Staff is seeking Park Board approval to proceed with a plan of action for deterring the goose population on Ben Butterworth Parkway. Geese are agreeable to use City Parks as a habitat for feeding however, after investigating the possible locations of nests, it was determined that minimal occurrences happen on Park property. New “stop feeding” signage has been placed to stop public feeding. Parks staff recommendation is to monitor the geese in relation to the new signage, investigate a landscaping solution, and a test application of Flight Control Plus or its equivalent. Park maintenance will continue to monitor spring nesting to factor into a course of action in 2019.
