Proceedings of the City Council, City of Cape Girardeau, Mo. Regular Session Jilly 16, 2012 _ ii_116 City Manager Scott Meyer reported that he had met with representatives of Ameren UE this week. Ameren is working on a transmission project just outside of Cape Girardeau, but the impact to our community in reliability of services is striking. This project is a huge investment in this region with over $50 million in this construction project, and the economic impact will be large. The transmission lines are not directly paid for by rate increases. The cost of the project is spread over a larger area so other carriers help pay for the transmission project as well. This project will increase the capacity and reliability of services in the area. Mr. Meyer said that Cape Girardeau was ranked 74`h on the Forbes Magazine list of Best Small Places for Business and Careers. APPEARANCES Mr. Bill Bennett, of 258 Ashley Drive, addressed the Council regarding the annexation of unincorporated land into City limits. He said that residents of his subdivision all signed an annexation request, but they did so because they would not have received City water if they did not. He said that at the time he was in the middle of building a house and had to have water hook- up, and he had no option but to sign the agreement. Mr. Bennett said that about half of the current residents did not live there when the agreements were signed and were unaware of the annexation agreement. The residents will pay higher taxes, but he questioned what services they will receive for it. They currently have fire and police protection from other entities, and he questionecbptions for snow removal. Mr. Meyer answered that snow removal is a part of street maintenance, but since the City will not be maintaining the streets in the subdivision, the City will not provide snow removal service to the residents. Mr. Bennett said that they will not have library service, because they do not live in the library district. He said that they will pay higher taxes, but will not receive much in return. He said thaf many of the streets in the subdivision do not meet the current City code or standard. Mr. Bennett said that if the City is going to annex the subdivision, the residents should be afforded City services, and street repair and maintenance is one of those services the City should provide. He said that the Council has the authority to push the agenda as it is presented, but the residents would greatly appreciate if street maintenance were included in the annexation. Mr. Bennett said that he did not receive a written statement from the City that they will not provide street maintenance. Mr. Meyer said that since the streets in the subdivision are not maintained by the County at this time, the City will not assume maintenance of the subdivision streets. Mrs. Jennie Stigers, of 1343 Oakenwald, appeared in opposition of the Urban Deer Hunting Ordinance. She reviewed statistics and issues previously discussed and reviewed by the Deer Management Committee, the Council, and the public. Mrs. Stigers said that if the Council approves the Ordinance, her group of opponents plans to file a referendum petition, and if they are successful, the Council must overturn the Ordinance, or put it to a vote of the people. However, because the second and third readings of the Ordinance are delayed, they will not be able to put the issue on the November ballot. She urged the Council to give other deer control options a chance to work before adopting this Ordinance. Mrs. Janet Presson, of 2245 Kent Drive, appeared in opposition of the Urban Deer Hunting Ordinance. She reported that she has talked to several people in St. Louis, and that they only hunt deer for two weeks a year and hire professional shooters to do it. Mrs. Presson alleged that proponents of the Urban Deer Hunting Ordinance would benefit financially from its adoption. d - Proceedings of the City Council, City of Cape Girardeau, Mo. Regular Session .Tule 16, 2012 11-117 Mrs. Judy Pulley, of 2206 Lakewood Drive, addressed the Council in opposition of the proposed Urban Deer Hunting Ordinance. She said that this Ordinance is simply sport hunting, and it disregards public safety. Since its first introduction, this Ordinance has shed requirements and restrictions related to age, liability, notification, elevated stands, footage requirements, share the harvest, does only, acreage, and deer survey. She reminded the Council that the more restrictions imposed by the Council, the more City staff will have to monitor the hunt. However, the main concern should not be how much staff time this will take, but public safety. Mrs. Pulley reviewed previous comments by Councilmember Voss on issues he felt should be addressed in the Ordinance, but are not included in this proposed Ordinance. This Ordinance is unsafe for residents, and she asked the Council to put this issue on the ballot in November. Mr. Gene Pulley, of 2206 Lakewood Drive, appeared in opposition of the Urban Deer Hunting Ordinance. He said that Mayor Rediger had said that the hunt would be conducted in the northeast section of the City, and that limitation is not in the Ordinance. The Mayor responded that he believes the majority of the deer issues have been in the northeast portion of the City. Mr. Pulley countered that this will be a City-wide hunt if the Ordinance is approved. He said that members of the Council have promised residents that they will take care of their deer issues, and those Councilmembers now want to pass this irresponsible Ordinance to save face. Mr. Pulley asked the Council to place this issue on the November ballot Mr. Keith Lear, of 1829 Old Sprigg Street Road, addressed the Council in opposition of an urban deer hunt. He said that all of the Missouri Department of Conservation offices, and everything he has read online, say that bow hunting is ineffectivq inhumane, and unsafe. For ethical reasons, he has never fed deer and never scared them, but these deer do not run away from humans because they are tame. It would be inhumane to hunt them. His property is surrounded by woods on all four sides. If this Ordinance is passed, he will have hunters all around his house. When he finds an arrow on his lawn, there will be nothing the Cape Girardeau Police Department can do about it. Mr. Lear said that he has attended every meeting about this Urban Deer Hunting Ordinance, and he has not seen one person appear in support of this Ordinance. There have been people opposed to this Ordinance, but the Council is still supporting it. Mr. Lear stated that if he were shot with ar arrow, the Council should hope that it would kill him. Mrs. Kay Story, of 1630 Oxford Drive, appeared in opposition to the Urban Deer Hunting Ordinance. She said that she has completed 38 years of teaching grades 8-10, and she is appalled by the lack of respect towards animals and human life and the violence that kids are exposed to. Mrs. Story said that how we treat animal life is a prototype for how children will treat their fellow human beings, and they should be taught a more compassionate and civil attitude. Children should be taught to respect animals and respect life. She has talked to many people who are opposed to this deer hunting Ordinance, and the credibility of the Council rests on their stance on this issue. If the Council respects their constituents, they will let the people vote on this issueShe said that the Council is voting on the value placed on life, and their vote will follow them into eternity. Ms. Vivian Selby, of 1508 Briarcliff Drive, addressed the Council in opposition of an urban deer hunt. She expressed concern at allowing four months of hunting in the City, sayinghat there is no need for such a long hunt. Ms. Selby reviewed various sections of the Ordinance, including the length of the urban hunt, the permission granted by the property owner, no liability insurance required, and the lack of punishments listed for violators. She said that the Ordinance contradicts itself. The Ordinance endangers people who live in the City. She asked the Council to conduct a deer population count and notto pass this poorly written Ordinance. Proceedings of the City Council, City of Cape Girardeau, Mo. Regular Session Jul 1617017 11_118 Ms. Pat Wells, of 1902 Drury Lane, addressed the Council in opposition of the proposed Urban Deer Hunting Ordinance. She initially did not oppose to deer hunting in the City. She volunteers at the Missouri Department of Conservation Nature Center and understands that sometimes wildlife needs to be controlled. However, when the proposed Ordinance was presented to the Council, after it was changed, she changed her mind because of the safety issues and is now opposed to it. If the safety factors were reinstated, she may again support the Oribance. Ms. Joan Jones addressed the Council in opposition of the proposed Urban Deer Hunting Ordinance. She said she used to live in the area near where there was a deer problem. She said that she is opposed to an Urban Deer Hunt. Ms. Jones thanked the Council for listening to the citizens and said that she knows they will do the right thing.

Mr. Voss said that he respected the opinions of everyone who has spoken on this issue. Several residents have reached out to him and expressed support for some kind of deer population control in the City. Property owners have been helpless to defend their property, and they have done everything in their means to repel the deer and protect their land. Mr. Voss said that it is his sincerest intent to offer all property owners the ability to peaceably occupy their property and keep it from being destroyed. He said that he is offended by accusations that supporters of this Ordinance would gain financially from its adoption. There were items stripped from the original proposed Ordinance that he suggested. However, there are times when compromise is necessary, and some Council members did not agree with his conservative measures. Mr. Voss suggested the Council revisit certain items of discussion to include: 1) minimum parcel acreage; 2) the appropriateness of elevated tree stands; 3) minimum hunting age, to reconsider a minimum age of 18 years; 4) does -only hunt, or earn -a -buck hunt as an important component; 5) minimum of 3 - acre combined plot, not with a single owner; and 6) requiring the hunter to shoot from an elevated position, such as a tree stand, on parcels of at least 3 acres, perhaps even 5 acres A motion to amend the Ordinance to increase the minimum lot size to 3 acres, to add the provision that hunters must shoot from an elevated position, and to increase the minimum hunting age to 18 years or older, was made by Mr. Voss, seconded by Mr. Summers. Mr. Lanzotti said the amendments proposed by Councilmember Voss have merit in interior portions of the City, but not in outer areas. He said that he would propose an amendment to the Ordinance to remove the requirement for an elevated stand on parcels larger than 10 acres. Mr. Lanzotti said that he would also propose an amendment to remove the minimum age requirement and permit individuals under the age of 18 years to hunt supervised by a parent or guardian. The Mayor said that he opposes the amendment proposed by Councilmember Voss. He said that he would ask for a minimum parcel size of 5 acres with one owner. Mr. Summers said that he would propose an amendment that would require notification of neighbors if three separate lots were combined to make the minimum, 3,acre, parcel size required for the urban hunt The motion to amend was approved, by the following roll call vote: Proffer, aye; Rediger, nay; Schneider, nay, Swan, nay; Summers, aye; Voss, aye; and Lanzotti, aye.

Mr. Lanzotti replied that the requirement is the same for the3-acre parcel, and subject to the will of the Council, Proceedings of the City Council, City of Cape Girardeau, Mo. Regular Session ul 16, 2012 _. —II120 but as written now, it must be owned by one individual.
