CONSIDER A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE 2007-200S DEER
MANAGEMENT ANNUAL PLAN, RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. 05- 32S, AND
APPROVING A REVISED LONG-TERM DEER MANAGEMENT PLAN.
Comment: The City's Long Term Deer Management Plan provides that the Deer
Task Force will submit an annual plan to the City Council and that the City Council will
adopt an annual plan. At its meeting on April 23, 2007, the Task Force approved the
proposed "2007-2008 Deer Management Annual Plan" that is attached to the
resolution and recommends that it be adopted by the City Council. The Task Force's
proposed plan for the upcoming winter includes bow hunting and sharp shooting to
reduce the number of deer. The Council and the Task Force are also required to
review and reaffirm the Long-Term Plan. The Task Force at its April 23 meeting
recommends two revisions to the Long-Term Plan. One is to delete the requirement
that the City prepare annual reports on the effectiveness of deer reflectors in Par. 2,
and the second is to delete the use of "rimfire rifles" in Par. 4b(1) as urged by the DNR.
The proposed revised Long-Term Plan is also attached to the resolution. Final minutes
from the April 9 meeting and draft minutes of the April 23 meeting are in the April 26
information packet. Much of the Task Force's discussion on these two matters
occurred at the April 9 meeting including preliminary approval of both plans. Staff
memo is also included in the packet.

ITEM 21.B AMENDING CITY CODE TITLE 7, ENTITLED FIRE PREVENTION AND
PROTECTION, AND TITLE 17, ENTITLED BUILDING AND HOUSING TO
ESTABLISH FIRE AND LIFE SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR NEW AND EXISTING
GROUP A-2 OCCUPANCIES.
Comment: Staff held community meetings on February 13th and February 20, 2007 to
present and discuss proposed code amendments with owners of A-2 Occupancies. On
March 5, 2007 The Board of Appeals recommended, by unanimous vote, to approve
the proposed amendments to the international Building Code and the International Fire
Code that requires existing A-2 Occupancies with State of Iowa Alcoholic Beverage
Division License (ABDL) to be retrofitted with a fire sprinkler system and a fire alarm
system with voice alarm capabilities. Also, the Board recommended that all new A-2
Occupancies, when the occupant load is 100 or more, have a fire sprinkler system,
a fire alarm system with voice alarm capabilities, and exit widths that will
accommodate two-thirds (2/3) of the occupant load. The recommendations are
contingent on a City-supported loan and grant financial incentive program. A
summary of the proposed code amendments and staffs recommendations for a
Fire and Life-Safety Improvement Loan and Grant Program for Existing A-2
Occupancies with ABDL's is included in Council's information packet. Staff
recommends action to allow passage and publication by July 1, 2007. Draft minutes
