BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Saddlebrook development was annexed into the City in 1994. The annexation and zoning of
this property was subject to a Conditional Zoning Agreement (CZA). The major conditions of the
CZA specified that the applicant would provide for wetland protection and mitigation; construction
of a trail network; dedication or payment of fees for neighborhood open space and dedication of a
school site. The subject area was zoned RS-8, Medium Density Single-Family at that time. Earlier
this year a Planned Development Housing Overlay (OPDH) over the existing RS-8 zoning was
approved to allow the development of single-family homes, duplexes and townhouses. The OPDH
request allows lot area and lot widths that are smaller than what would be allowed in a standard
RS-8 neighborhood.
ANALYSIS:
The preliminary plat complies with the approve OPDH plan. As provided for in the OPDH plan
many of the lots are narrower and smaller in lot area than normally required by the underlying
RS-8 zoning. Lots 28-32 are for town house units. Lots 33-37, 39-43, 45-47, 22-27 are for
single-family homes. Lots 38, 44 and 21 are for duplexes. Lots 1-20 are for attached zero lot
line dwellings. A common private open space is located near the center of the subdivision.
Public alleys will provide vehicular access for the lots located south and west of Blazing Star
Drive. The preliminary plat does contain minor technical deficiencies that should be corrected
prior to the Commission's vote.
Neighborhood Open Space: The Neighborhood Open Space Ordinance requires the
dedication of 16,500 square feet of public open space or payment of fees in lieu of open space
for a development of this size. The Parks and Recreation Commission has indicated that open
space dedication for the Saddlebrook development should occur in the far western portion of
the RS-8 zone where it can be added to the Sycamore Greenway. At the time the final plat is
approved, the legal papers should specify this.
Mitigation Plan: The CZA for Saddlebrook requires that a mitigation plan be submitted for each
phase of the development to show how the wetlands will be protected from stormwater runoff.
Update of the mitigation plan is required with the stormwater calculations.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that this application be deferred pending technical deficiencies identified by the
City Engineer. Upon resolution of the deficiencies staff recommends that the preliminary plat of
Saddlebrook Meadows Part 1, an 8.95-acre 47-lot residential subdivision located south of
Whispering Meadows Drive, be approved.

Re: Wetland Site Evaluation of the proposed Saddlebrook Meadows, Part 1 in the
northwest Quarter of Section 25 - Township 79N - Range 6W, Johnson County, Iowa.
Dear Ms. Nelson:
We met on Wednesday the 2¡th of October, 2004 to walk the property in the northwest
quarter of Section 25 - Township 79N - Range 6W, Johnson County, Iowa (Figure 1)
and determine the presence of jurisdictional wetlands. As we discussed, there are three
components necessary for an area to be classified as a wetland; hydric soils,
hydrophytic vegetation, and wetland hydrology. Once these parameters have been
identified, a direct surficial connection from the wetland area to a jurisdictional blue-line
stream must be found.
While there are hydric soils within the boundary of the proposed development site, the
existing vegetation of the site and the lack of wetland hydrology suggest that there are
no jurisdictional wetlands in this area. The site is dominated by dandelions and an
upland variety of goldenrod. In addition, the site is very well drained, as there were no
obvious wet areas after two days of rain and drizzle. There is a blue-line stream to the
south but there is no evidence of any wetland area within the boundary of the proposed
development that drains to this stream.
The lack of wetland vegetation and hydrology strongly support the position that there
are no jurisdicitional wetlands in the proposed Saddlebrook Meadows, Part 1 area. If
you feel for any reason that this evaluation requires further validation, I recommend you
contact Mr. Gene Walsh with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Rock Island District.
You can request a site evaluation and a jurisdictional determination. It is useful to
provide him with copies of this and the preliminary evaluation that has been completed.
After meeting with you on site, he will write a letter regarding his formal determination.
TFM Consultants, Inc. appreciates the opportunity to work with you and we look forward
to further contact in the future.
If you have any questions regarding this on-site evaluation, please feel free to contact
me at (319) 621-1980 or by email jelizabeth.maas@gmail.com.

Responsibilities
To annually recommend to the City Council a Deer Management Plan that meets the goals of the Long-
Term Deer Management Plan. To that end, members should review data (population count, deer-
vehicle accidents, reflector effectiveness, previously implemented population control programs, herd
health), review current and recommend future educational tools, review and consider all non-lethal and
lethal management methods, and recommend appropriate action.
The members of the 2004-2005 Iowa City Deer Task Force acknowledge that
we are not wildlife specialists, traffic engineers, mathematicians, or politicians,
but rather citizens who have come together to address an important matter
facing our community. We developed this plan after researching options for
deer management, considering documented evidence, gathering information
about other communities in comparable situations, receiving advice from the
Iowa Department of Natural Resources, listening to the opinions and
experience of fellow citizens, and exploring our perceptions of the kind of plan
likely to be both accepted by and effective for the community. We believe it is
unlikely that every component of any deer management plan would be
accepted by every member of the Task Force or every resident of Iowa City.
This plan is a compromise, the product of our attempt to understand and
respect many different voices.

LONG-TERM DEER MANAGEMENT PLAN
1. The City of Iowa City will develop an educational program that will provide residents with information on deer
habits and guidelines for limiting localized deer damage through the use of screening, alternative plantings, and
other techniques. The City's comprehensive management plan will be included. Educational materials will be
distributed through a variety of methods including public informational meetings, pamphlets, and government
television programs.
2. The City of Iowa City will evaluate the need for and, where appropriate, install or petition the State or County to
install on roadways under their jurisdiction warning signs and/or reflectors that may reduce the likelihood of
vehicle-deer accidents. The City will prepare annual reports on effectiveness of deer reflectors. In addition,
thoughtful consideration will be given to deer migratory paths as transportation improvement projects are
approved by the City Council.
3. In order to prevent irreparable damage to the ecosystems in Iowa City and to prevent significant injury or damage
to persons or property, the City Council has set the maximum deer population density to be trurty-five per square
mile per City-designated management district. Actual numbers are to be collected via helicopter count.
4. In order to implement its long-term population goal of trurty-five deer per square mile per management district,
the City of Iowa City formally requests that the Natural Resource Commission approve a rule establishing a
special deer population management area for Iowa City to the following conditions, limitations, and procedures:
a. The special deer management area is defined as all public and private land in Iowa City as designated by the
City Council ofIowa City.
b. The City is allowed to kill as many deer as the City determines necessary to reach its desired goal. Killing
may occur between September I and February 28.
(1) The City is allowed to utilize sharpshooting with centeñue rifles for the killing of deer. Bait may be used
to attract deer to the sites. The City shall determine locations, training, and all other conditions for the
sharpshooting activities. The City shall also comply with all applicable state laws.
(2) The City is allowed to utilize City personnel to use baited traps to capture and kill deer in
locations determined by the City Council.
(3) All deer killed by sharpshooting and/or trapping operations are to be processed for human
consumption and distributed free of charge. Processing lockers participating in the plan will be
allowed to keep and utilize the deer hide.
(4) No licenses will be required for the City and no fees will be charged.
c. The City will initially utilize sharpshooting over bait and trap-and-kill to reduce the number of deer in each
management district to the goal of 35 deer per square mile. By the end of the initial reduction plan, it is
projected that the deer population will be to a level that requires maintenance rather than aggressive reduction.
The City will strongly encourage use of non-lethal methods to maintain deer numbers but recognizes that
killing of deer may be necessary to maintain the population goal.
5. The Deer Task Force will convene each spring to review educational material, deer population numbers (current
and projected), and management options, and to recommend methods to kill deer. Any or all legal lethal methods
available (currently consisting of sharpshooting, trap-and-kill, and bow and arrow hunting) may be utilized after
the initial reduction plan if the methods meet the following criteria: I) public safety, 2) community acceptance, 3)
effectiveness in maintaining the desired number of deer.
6. Task Force recommendations must be approved by the City Council following public hearing prior to initiation of
City management plans. Annual plans approved by the Council will be forwarded to the Department of Natural
Resources and, if necessary, the Natural Resource Commission for authorization to implement.

INTRODUCTION
The members of the 2004-2005 Iowa City Deer Task Force affirm our concurrence with the goals of the
City's Long-Term Deer Management Plan. We agree that deer management within the city limits is a
necessary duty of the City to maintain the health of the herd, to prevent irreparable damage to plant and
animal life in the ecosystems of the natural areas in the City, to protect citizen safety and welfare, and to
prevent major deer damage to public and private property. Because managing deer-human-ecosystem
interaction is an ongoing process, each year the City must gather information and evaluate the outcomes of
the implementation of the long-term plan.
As have previous committees, we value the presence of deer in the city limits and are recommending a
number of ways to encourage citizens to become better educated about ways to coexist with deer. We do
not recommend total elimination of deer in the city limits. But it is clear that the presence of high numbers of
deer in areas in the city limits may endanger human lives because of deer-vehicle accidents, cause
destruction of landscaping and yard plantings, and further disrupt already altered ecosystems.
Natural habitat for many types of wildlife in the Iowa City area is being continuously reduced as previously
rural land is developed for housing and commercial purposes. In a natural setting, the size of a deer
population depends on food sources, predators, hunting, and wildlife management practices. Inside the city
limits. deer have an abundant supply of food and no natural predators. Starvation and disease will have little
effect on the deer population.
After reviewing the results of the most recent deer population survey, we concluded that killing of deer is
necessary within the Iowa City corporate limits for the winter of 2004-2005. We recommend the killing of no
more than 282 deer.
We also agreed the City should pursue a number of other nonlethal methods, discussed in subsequent
sections of this report.

2004-2005 DEER MANAGEMENT PLAN
It is the unanimous recommendation of the 2004-2005 Iowa City Deer Task Force that the City Council of
Iowa City resolve that the City Manager is authorized and directed to implement the 2004-2005 Deer
Management Plan, including the following elements:
1. The City will continue to assemble resources that provide residents with information on deer and offer
guidelines for limiting localized deer damage through the use of repellents, screening, alternative
plantings, and other techniques. Educational materials will be available at City Hall and the Public
Library, on City Channel 4, and on the City web site (www.icgov.org). A video on deer-traffic issues will
be produced.
2. The City will continue to maintain appropriate warning signs and reflectors designed to reduce the
likelihood of vehicle-deer accidents. To further minimize deer-vehicle conflict, Council will direct staff to
consult with a qualified professional to evaluate feasibility of passageways under roads in planning and
designs for transportation improvement projects. The City will also investigate the availability of federal
funds for including such passageways in eligible transportation projects.
3. The City will actively work with the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to fully understand and
support their efforts to control the deer population for which the DNR is responsible and which affects
the health, safety, and welfare of Iowa City residents.
4. The City of Iowa City will continue to inquire from qualified scientists the feasibility of a deer
contraception pilot project or program in Iowa City.
5. The City will continue to compile data for deer management, including but not limited to information
about vehicle-deer accidents, citizen comments, and an annual helicopter deer count.
6. The City will immediately apply for permits from the DNR to implement a plan to kill no more than 282
deer within the Iowa City corporate limits, by sharpshooting, during the winter of 2004-2005.
a. To enhance understanding of deer reproductive rates, in cooperation with the DNR, the
sharpshooting agency, and meat processors, the City will allow reproductive necropsies to be
performed on deer killed.
b. The City will fully comply with all state law governing the killing of deer, exercise great caution and
observe all possible safety measures during the sharpshoot, assure use of the most humane
rnethods available, and arrange for free distribution of processed deer meat.
7. The Task Force will evaluate the effectiveness of this Deer Management Plan. A report will be filed with
the DNR.
8. As the Iowa City Deer Task Force "sunsets" in March of 2007, the Task Force wiU formulate for the City
Council a recommendation on continuance.

DETERMINING IF DEER SHOULD BE KILLED IN 2004-2005
For deer management purposes, the most commonly accepted number of deer an urban setting can sustain
is 20 to 25 per square mile. Based on recommendations from the DNR and review of management plans
from other communities, the 1997 Deer Management Committee established the following guidelines for the
City's long-range management plan:
0-24 deer/square mile: Educate residents about living with deer.
25-34 deer/square mile: Review on an area-by-area basis. Educational material may be
recommended or killing methods implemented depending on the
management area, number of complaints, and/or evidence of types of
damage.
35+ deer/square mile: Reduction must be implemented. At this level, deer pose threat to the
ecosystem.
Since deer populations generally tend to increase by approximately 30% each year, approximately 30% of a
given population must die or be killed annually if that population level is to remain stable.
5
Population Surveys
To estimate as accurately as possible the number of deer in the city limits, the City has conducted five counts via helicopter.

DNR Projections
In October, 2004, the Task Force requested that the DNR provide a projection of the number of
deer that must be killed in 2004-2005 to maintain the progress being made toward the goal of 35
deer per square mile by area established by the Long-Term Deer Management Plan. In making
such projections, the DNR typically assumes 30 deer per square mile to allow some flexibility so
areas are not constantly stressed with the maximum number of deer. The recommendations the
DNR provided (see Attachment A on page 10) indicate a total of 282 does be killed. In Iowa
City's management program, it is typical that one antlered deer is killed for every three antlerless
deer killed.
Taking into account the deer/vehicle accidents and projections, by the Department of Natural
Resources, the Task Force recommends killing no more than 282 deer during the winter of 2004-
2005.
Under this plan, sharpshooting activities will occur only within the Iowa City corporate limits. The
Task Force recognizes that attainment and maintenance of population goals in these areas will
require cooperation among these jurisdictions. The Task Force affirms its desire and willingness
to coordinate our activities with those of other jurisdictions. The Task Force specifically
recommends the City Council issue a request to University of Iowa President Skorton to allow
consideration of University property as possible shooting locations for future management plans.
Reduction of the herd to the level established in the Long-Term Deer Management Plan will be an
ongoing activity, and its complexities require constant evaluation. The Council relies on the Task
Force for the information needed each year to make decisions regarding management of the
herd. But, even with aerial counts, no one can determine exactly how many deer are inside the
City limits or how many will survive and reproduce after each year's count. Survival variables
include weather, traffic speed and volume, available forage, disease, reproductive rates, the
success of killing activity by area, the degree of harassment by activists and others during shoots,
development of land, deer movement, and willingness of residents to allow deer to be killed on
their property.
We recommend that, as it was last year, deer meat be processed and distributed free of charge.
If requested, reproductive necropsies should be conducted to increase our knowledge of the deer
herd.

Attllchment A
Projected Number of Deer to be Removed
by Willie Suchy
Wildlife Biologist, IDNR
The simulations developed here are based upon the number of deer observed during the
helicopters surveys conducted since 1997. The simulations assume that about 60% of the initial number
counted were does and about 1/3 of the does were fawns. The annual cycle begins with dispersal and
reproduction. Then the number of deer present after normá1 mortality through the end of December are
calculated. Removals occur during the fall and winter and are additive to normal mortality. Then the
cycle repeats. Multiple simulations are made for each area to find a model that best "fits" the observed
aerial counts.
Table I lists the estimated number of does that need to be removed to reach (or maintain) the
objective of less than 30 deer per square mile in I year. The simulations "fit" the counts observed on all
areas reasonably well if the productivity data from the statewide model is used (See Fig I). This is the
same estimate of productivity that has been used in the past to make the projections.

SUMMARY OF POPULATION MANAGEMENT OPTIONS THE TASK FORCE
CONSIDERED
No Lethal Action
The Task Force considered and rejected this option.
Control of Deer Reproduction via Contraception and Sterilization
Most studies of the effectiveness of contraceptives with deer have been conducted on
populations living in enclosed or confined areas, not with free-ranging deer. Because of drug
safety issues, the FDA has not yet approved the use of immunocontraceptives on free-
ranging deer. The Task Force reaffirms its interest in the progress and results of tests using
immunocontraception and recommends the City continue to investigate the feasibility of a
pilot project in our area.
The Task Force has also agreed to research the possibility of deer population control through
sterilization and release programs that are similar to techniques being used to humanely
manage colonies of feral cats.
Trap (or Dart) and Relocate
The Task Force assumed the use of a box trap.
Is it humane?
A properly-constructed trap is unlikely to injure deer. If the trap is checked with sufficient
frequency, the trapped animal is unlikely to suffer significant trauma from its stay in the
trap.
To minimize trauma in transport, trapped animals must not be held for long prior to
transport. Even with prompt transport, experience with trap and relocate methods
suggests that a 4% mortality rate is to be expected during transport, 26% delayed
mortality due to stress induced by the experience, and between 58% and 85% mortality
in the following months. At this time, trap and relocation of deer cannot be considered
humane.
Is it safe?
Properly managed box traps pose very little risk to people.
Is it effective?
No, considering the high mortality rate of transported deer and the fact that few sites in
the Midwest have the combination of adequate habitat, low deer population, and willing
human stewards this method requires. This method is selective; if only does are to be
relocated, bucks caught in a trap may be easily released.
Dart and relocate was considered briefly. We find no distinction between trapping and
darting when relocation is the goal, since the results of relocation are the same, and
conclude trap/dart and relocate is not effective.
12
What does it cost?
The cost depends on trap placement and deer population. Frequency of trap monitoring
adds uncertainty. In the late 1990s, North Oaks, Minnesota reported a cost per deer
capture of $131. Urban trapping for live release has been reported to cost, per deer,
$113 in Wisconsin and $800 in Long Island. Total costs, including transport, have been
reported in the $300 to $1,000 range. Highland Park, IL, reported a cost of $3,074 per
deer to relocate 20 deer. Eight months after transport, 11 of the 20 were reported dead.
Frequent trips with small numbers of deer are more humane but more expensive.
The cost of trapping by dart is comparable to the cost of sharpshooting.
Is it legal?
The Iowa DNR does not recommend trap and relocate for deer, although it is currently
used for dealing with waterfowl and small animals. Relocation of wild deer to private
ownership is not currently legal in Iowa.
Task Force Conclusion
The Task Force does not view trap and relocate as an option because of high mortality,
the possible high cost, and lack of areas to relocate deer.
Bow Hunting
Suggested regulations for bow hunting in urban areas assume the hunter shoots from a fixed
stand, waiting there until the deer comes to the hunter. Stalking or driving deer is not
permitted. While the use of elevated stands is common, it is not required.
The Task Force assumed the imposition of strict hunter education and certification standards
such as have been adopted in Waterloo/Cedar Falls and Coralville in addition to regulations
governing hunter behavior. Such standards address some of the more severe criticisms of
the humaneness and effectiveness of bow hunting.
Is it humane?
Bow hunting rarely leads to instantaneous death. Estimates by hunters indicate that bow
hunting cripples more animals than gun hunting. A crippling injury is defined as one
which does not kill, and after which the hunter fails to find and kill the injured animal.
The Waterloo/Cedar Falls and Dubuque experiences suggest a significant degree of
success. Recent studies appear to confirm the belief that crippling rates from bow
hunting in relatively cramped settings such as those encountered in urban deer
management are indeed lower than the crippling rates reported for bow hunting in
general.
The only scientific studies the Task Force found to review were conducted by bow-
hunting advocacy groups or funded by archery-related industries.
Is it safe?
Evidence indicates that urban bow hunts pose very little risk to people. No evidence of
injury to humans appears in any of the programs reviewed.
13
Is it effective?
It can be, assuming that sufficient numbers of hunters are willing to comply with the
additional regulations governing hunting within city limits. In a recent year, hunters killed
74 deer inside Dubuque city limits and an additional 98 in the area surrounding the city.
However, in areas where killing of large numbers of deer is recommended, bow and
arrow hunting alone would be ineffective in reducing the population.
Bow hunting is moderately selective. The hunting season is before the bucks shed their
antlers, so gender is fairly easy to determine. Hunting traditions place a high value on
killing older bucks--the so-called trophy bucks with large, many-branched antlers. This is
of little use if population control is the goal. If bow hunting is to be used as an effective
component of a population control plan, hunters must be induced to kill does.
What does it cost?
The costs of a DNR-administered hunt are largely borne by the individual hunters who,
through license fees, pay for the cost of regulating the hunt. These costs are partially
offset by the value of the meat taken. DNR generally relies on individual hunters to police
other hunters. The cost to the City would be minimal.
Is it legal?
Yes, according to State law. However, the City of Iowa City prohibits bow hunting within
the City limits.
Task Force Conclusion
The Task Force does not recommend bow hunting as an option for killing in the 2004-
2005 Iowa City Deer Management Plan. Some members view bow hunting as inhumane.
In addition, some members do not regard Iowa City's deer management as a recreational
activity or sport for hunters and do not wish to encourage such a concept. The Task
Force recognizes, however, that bow hunting is a potential legal option, and some
members have voiced interest in a bow hunting component in Iowa City's management
plan.
Trap and Kill
The Task Force assumed the use of a baited box trap or modified clover trap. Trapping is
typically done in mid to late winter. Deer are killed by gunshot to the head; deer meat so
acquired is suitable for human consumption.
Is it humane?
If a trap is properly constructed and checked frequently, deer are unlikely to suffer
significant trauma while in it. The killing methods assumed are instantaneous and
therefore humane.
Is it safe?
Properly managed box traps pose very little risk to people.
Is it effective?
Yes, but only to remove small numbers of deer. As with trapping and relocation, this
method is selective. Deer may be released if they are not of the desired age and sex.
14
Dart and kill was briefly considered. The cost of darting is approximately the same as
sharpshooting; meat from darted animals is not considered fit for human consumption.
What does it cost?
Costs depend on trap placement, deer population, and weather conditions. The
sometimes-complicated logistics of regular trap monitoring add complexity to this method.
In the late 1990s, North Oaks, MN, reported a cost per deer capture of $131, not
including carcass disposal or processing. Minnetonka, MN, reported total costs of $209-
$214 per deer, including meat processing.
Is it legal?
The DNR has authorized use of box traps for the killing of deer in Iowa City.
Task Force Conclusion
The Task Force does not recommend use of trap and kill. With the high number of deer
recommended to be killed, the costs and staff time associated with trap and kill would not
justify the number of deer killed.
Sharpshooting
Sharpshooting has been used in many residential areas and parks to control deer
populations and has been the kill method recommended by the Task Force and approved by
the City Council over the past several years.
High-powered rifles are the weapon of choice for sharpshooting. Sound suppression devices
were used by the USDA in 1999 and by White Buffalo, Inc. staff in 2001 but not by White
Buffalo, Inc. staff in 2000 because, at the time, it was illegal for a private person to possess a
suppressed weapon in the State of Iowa. As of July 1, 2000, suppressors could be used in
Iowa by a person shooting a deer pursuant to a state-approved deer management plan, if the
person has a valid federal permit for the device. Also effective July 1, 2000, a shooter need
only get permission of the owner or tenant to discharge a firearm during a sanctioned
sharpshoot if the shooter is within 50 yards of an inhabited structure. The prior law prohibited
the discharge of a firearm anywhere within 200 yards without permission. The City requested
the legislature make these two changes to the Iowa Code in order to facilitate future
sharpshooting in more developed areas.
In a professional sharpshoot, shooting sites are selected based on safety and access to deer.
An appropriate site includes an orientation relative to the bait station so that shooting occurs
from an elevated location (e.g., a tree stand or from the top of a ridge), which directs the
bullet in a downward trajectory. Site preparation, consisting of clearing underbrush and pre-
baiting, lasts for several weeks. Shooters typically work at night using artificial light.
Is it humane?
A high-powered rifle can cause instantaneous death; from this point of view, no method
of killing is more humane. Of all weapons for killing at a distance, high-powered rifles are
the least likely to inflict an inhumane wound, one that cripples, or kills slowly. The
likelihood of such injuries is reduced even more by using trained sharpshooters and a
bait station to attract and hold deer for the kill.
Is it safe?
15
All evidence indicates that urban sharpshooting poses little risk to people. No evidence
of injury to people or property was reported in any of the pro9rams we reviewed.
Is it effective?
Assuming there is appropriate access, yes. Studies have shown, and DNR advisors
concurred, that sharpshooting is more effective at reducing larger numbers of deer than
bow and arrow hunting.
What does it cost?
The City contracted with the USDA in 1998, and the USDA killed 22 deer at a cost of
$3,850. Ruzicka's Locker charged $35 per deer to field dress and process the meat into
5 Ib packages.
In 1999, the City contracted with the private firm of White Buffalo, Inc. White Buffalo, Inc.
killed 360 deer. Costs incurred were approximately $72,000, including $69,300 to White
Buffalo, Inc. for labor and reimbursable expenses, and about $2,500 for supplies and
other expenses (e.g. housing, bait). Ruzicka's Locker charged $45 per deer to field dress
and process the meat into 1 Ib and 5 Ib packages. The Salvation Army received
Community Development Block Grant funding to help defray processing and storage
costs.
In 2000, the City contracted with White Buffalo, Inc. White Buffalo, Inc. killed 342 deer.
C.osts incurred were approximately $109,400, including $96,400 for labor and
reimbursable expenses and about $13,000 for supplies and other expenses (e.g.
housing, bait). Ruzicka's Locker charged $50 per deer to field dres~ and process the
meat into 1 Ib and 5 Ib packages. The Salvation Army again served as the main
distributor to individuals and agencies.
In 2001, the City contracted with White Buffalo, Inc. White Buffalo, Inc. killed 250 deer.
Costs incurred were approximately $100,000 including $75,000 to White Buffalo for labor
and reimbursable expenses and about $10,000 for supplies and other expenses (e.g.
housing, bait). Ruzicka's Locker charged $55 per deer to field dress and process the
meat into 1 Ib and 5 Ib packages. The Salvation Army again served as the main
distributor to individuals and agencies.
Is it legal?
This method involves night shooting over bait, with lights and high-powered rifles. The
DNR has approved sharpshooting as a method authorized for the City of Iowa City. The
City must petition the Natural Resource Commission each year to be eligible to utilize
sharpshooting. To assist deer management programs, the Iowa legislature amended the
Code in spring 2000 to allow sharpshooters to use devices to decrease the sound and to
permit shooting within 50 yards of an inhabited structure, with the owner's permission.
Task Force Conclusion
The Task Force recommends sharpshooting as the most effective, efficient, and humane
method to continue to make progress toward the population goals established in the
Long-Term Deer Management Plan. The Task Force recommends White Buffalo, Inc. be
engaged this year to conduct the sharpshoot.
All public grounds should be assessed for safe and appropriate shooting sites. Private
properties should be allowed as sharpshooting sites with the permission of land owners
and occupants and in conformance with all laws, regulations, and safety concerns. The
16
contractor engaged to conduct the sharpshoot must arrange with property owners and
occupants for use of their land.
TRAFFIC SAFETY ISSUES
Deer-Vehicle Accident Statistics
The Iowa City Police Department is responsible for collecting deer-vehicle accident information.
The Department prepares maps showing locations and dates of accidents reported from 1996 to
the present. They are available for review at the City Manager's Office.
The deer-vehicle accident reporting process has improved beginning with the 1999 report. Each
accident is assigned a reference number and the date, time, location, property damage amount,
and miscellaneous comments are included. Accident victims are mailed a questionnaire to return
to the City indicating information such as age of driver, weather conditions, speed, etc. to better
our understanding of deer-vehicle accidents.

3 Time of accident and position and maintenance of reflectors influence effectiveness.
4 11 of the 12 accidents in reflector zones occurred during darkness.
5 4 of the 8 accidents in reflector zones occurred during darkness.
Reflectors
Reflectors were installed on Dubuque Street (38 posts) in September 1994 and N. Dodge Street
(152 posts) in spring 1997. Construction began on N. Dodge Street in summer 1998, temporarily
displacing many reflectors. Additional reflectors were added to N. Dodge and Dubuque Streets,
and a new system installed on Rochester Avenue in spring 2000. Effectiveness of reflectors is
yet to be determined. It is important to keep in mind they are designed to work only when vehicle
lights are in use. They also require diligent regular maintenance.
Traffic Speeds
In a meeting with the Task Force in 2000, Jeff Davidson (City Planning & Community
Development Assistant Director and JCCOG Transportation Planner) explained the speed a
motorist travels is primarily a function of comfort level, not of the posted speed limit. Eighty-fifth
17
percentile speeds are measured; 85th percentile indicates the general comfort level of drivers and
is generally used for determining appropriate speed limits. Speed limits should be set so there is
compliance by most motorists; otherwise, they create an enforcement problem for police.
Artificially low speed limits are not only difficult to enforce, they may also create general
disrespect for speed limits, including those in areas where lower limits may be particularly
appropriate.
On Dubuque Street, the average speed was 39.5 miles per hour in the 35 mph zone; the 85th
percentile speeds were 42 mph. On Rochester Avenue, two locations were studied. On the
eastern portion, 85th percentile speeds were 33 mph. Further west, 85th percentile speeds were
42 mph. As a result, the City concluded that the current limits are appropriately set at 35 mph.
In light of this information, we concluded that reducing limits below 35 mph would not reduce
actual driving speeds. It should be noted that we found no studies that relate the incidence of
deer-vehicle accidents and vehicle speed (for speeds in the 25 to 45 mph range).
Since 1999, the City has mounted a defensive driving campaign during October and November,
when deer-vehicle accidents are more frequent. Media releases prompted articles, display ads
were run, and a sequencer on City Channel 4 warn drivers to be alert.
Recommendations: Because of the high number of deer-vehicle accidents, the Task Force
recommends the City:
· Continue to assess the effectiveness of reflectors.. Since maintenance of the reflectors is
essential to their effectiveness, the Task Force continues to request resources be committed
to reflector maintenance.
· Continue to monitor developments in the area of road signage so Iowa City regularly uses the
most up-to-date and innovative signage technologies on the market.
· Agree to thoroughly assess, during design and planning phases of new road and road
improvement projects, the impact these projects may have on deer migratory paths and, if
appropriate, to include passageways under roads for deer in such projects.
EDUCATION AND OTHER NONLETHAL INITIATIVES FOR IMPROVED
HUMAN-DEER COEXISTENCE
Completed and Current Projects
The City has undertaken a number of steps toward nonlethal management:
· Requested the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) to consider Iowa City as a
deer contraception test site.
· Conducted Deer Issues Listening Sessions at which residents can convey to Task Force
members and each other their opinions about and experience with Iowa City's deer.
These sessions were taped for broadcast on the City Channel.
· Began updating the brochure explaining Iowa City's approach to deer management and
emphasizing methods to help residents devise strategies for living with deer.
· Utilized the City's website and City Channel 4 for disseminating information. The Task
Force recommends continued expansion of both forums.
· Participated in classroom discussions, presentations, and radio call-in programs.
· Installed additional reflectors as well as five warning signs. Upgraded warning signs with
the highest quality of reflective material available. The City will continue maintenance of
these systems.
18
· Worked with media on defensive driving campaign during high deer-vehicle accident
incidence time of year.
· Completed a consultant-assessment of impact of N. Dodge Street improvements on deer.
An under-passageway is being considered.
· Made available for checkout and began broadcast of "Whitetails at the Crossroads," a
deer management educational video.
· Began production of a video on deer-traffic issues.
· Advertised seminar on gardening, landscaping, and wildlife Ooint project with IC
Landscaping).
· Information sharing with comparable communities.
Ideas for Future Consideration
We have developed a long list of possible initiatives for nonlethal management of the interactions
between Iowa City deer and Iowa City people, drawing on our own discussions, resident
comments, correspondence, and the listening sessions. Here is a working draft of that list, which
will continue to guide our deliberations about nonlethal deer management:
· Gather and consider information on experience with deer contraception/sterilization
projects across the country.
· Produce educational video. Could deal with practical or 'philosophical' issues. Provide
copies for checkout at libraries, broadcast on City Channel 4.
· Expand information on City web site. More resources. More links.
· Adopt-a-reflector system or City staff assignment to assure continuous maintenance.
· Presentation by HSUS staff or others on immunocontraceptives or other reproductive
control project.
· Add a 'deer resistant' garden to the Project GREEN Garden Tours, other gardener
activities.
· Provide information, etc., at Parade of Homes, Project GREEN and business fairs,
Chamber office.
· Promote safe driving through campaigns on TV, in newspapers-particularly in May and
October/November.
· Provide newspaper/TV/radio features on timely deer-related issues (traffic, plantings,
etc.).
· Visit deer-resistant gardens.
· Host gardening seminars (present live, rebroadcast on public access TV)
· Research solar powered deer deflectors that are currently being used in Indiana. These
are deflectors that turn on flashing lights to warn motorists when deer are present.
· Coordinate an educational program with the Johnson County Conservation Board entitled
'Whitetail Deer: Treasure, Trophy or Trouble? This program would be open to the public.
HISTORY OF DEER MANAGEMENT IN IOWA CITY -1997-2005
1997 -1998
In response to citizen complaints, in 1997 the City Council established a Deer Management
Committee to recommend a management plan. Council appointed members representing the
following interests: Iowa City staff, Iowa City/Coralville Animal Shelter, Iowa City Police
Department, hunters, Project GREEN, residents of areas heavily populated with deer, residents
of areas not heavily populated with deer, animal protection, science/nature/biology, Iowa Wildlife
Federation, City of Coralville staff, residents of Coralville, and Johnson County Board of
Supervisors.
19
The Committee divided the Iowa City/Coralville community into twenty Deer Management Areas,
using natural and constructed barriers as lines of division and taking into consideration the ability
to implement management techniques in each area.
After reviewing the size of the deer population, numbers of deer-vehicle accidents, the deer
management plans of other communities, comments from citizens, and advice from the DNR, the
Committee recommended and Council approved a multi-component management plan. The plan
consisted of initiating an education program, using reflectors and warning signs, consideration of
deer when constructing/renovating arterial streets, and the killing of 180 deer by sharpshooting
over bait and by trap and kill.
To arrive at consensus about killing methods, we considered the costs, legality, risks to humans,
and humaneness of each method of killing. For purposes of our discussion, we defined a
humane death as one that is instantaneous and painless.
For deer management purposes, the most commonly accepted number of deer an urban setting
can sustain is 20 to 25 per square mile. Based on recommendations from the DNR and review of
management plans from other communities, the 1997 Deer Management Committee established
the following guidelines for the City's long-range management plan:
0-24 deer/square mile: Educate residents about living with deer.
25-34 deer/square mile: Review on an area-by-area basis. Educational material may be
recommended or killing methods implemented depending on
the management area, number of complaints, and/or evidence
of types of damage.
35+ deer/square mile: Reduction must be implemented. At this level, deer pose threat
to the ecosystem.
Upon reviewing the 1997-1998 plan, the DNR rejected sharpshooting as an option for urban deer
management. But after making a comprehensive assessment of Iowa City's situation, DNR
officials concurred that bow and arrow hunting (a kill method that would be permissible) would not
be an effective method to reduce the herd according to our guidelines. Staff recommended and,
on February 12, 1998, the Natural Resource Commission approved, Iowa City's request to
sharpshoot deer. City officials worked with legislators to amend the State of Iowa Code to allow
the use of artificial light over bait for the purpose of urban deer management. There was not
enough time remaining in the season to initiate a sharpshooting program for 1997-1998; however,
a permit was authorized for September 1, 1998, through February 28, 1999.
1998-1999
On October 21, 1998, the Deer Management Committee resubmitted the original plan to the City
Council for approval, setting the number of deer to be killed at 240, as a result of increases in the
size of the deer herd. Council approved the plan on December 1. The City contracted with the
USDA to conduct the sharpshoot. In the south Peninsula area, 19 deer (8 adult does, 6 fawn
does, and 5 fawn males) were shot on January 20, and 3 deer (1 adult doe and 2 fawn males)
were shot on January 21, 1999. All adult does were pregnant. On January 20, one deer was shot
and dropped, but ran off and was not recovered.
A group of local animal rights activists backed by national groups filed a request in federal court
for an injunction against the USDA, thereby halting shooting activity until a federal judge could
review the points of contention. The request for injunctive relief alleged that the USDA had failed
to meet federal procedural requirements before the sharpshoot. The window of shooting
authorization expired before mediation eventually settled the litigation.
20
1999-2000
The 1999-2000 Deer Management Committee met from April 21 through August 16, 1999,
formulating a plan similar to the first two and increasing the number of deer to be killed to no
more than 733. The Committee examined the credentials of three agencies that submitted
proposals to conduct the sharpshoot. The Committee recommended and the City agreed that the
sharpshooting contract should be awarded to White Buffalo, Inc., of Hamden, Connecticut.
The 1999-2000 sharpshoot included a preliminary kill of 11 deer on November 9 to coordinate
logistics. Extensive preparation of 29 bait sites took place between December 12 and 31.
Between January 1 and January 11, White Buffalo, Inc. killed 349 deer by sharpshooting [215
females (60%) and 145 males (40%) /65 (18%) had visible antlers and 295 deer (82%) were
antlerless. Including the 11 killed in November, 360 deer were killed and transported to Ruzicka's
Locker in Solon for processing and packaging. Graduate students from Coe College performed
reproductive autopsies and collected blood samples to test for evidence of Lyme disease. Blood
analyses revealed the incidence of Lyme antibodies in the samples studied was consistent with
the statewide average of 5 percent.
Deer meat was distributed to local residents by the Salvation Army. Approximately 6,600 pounds
were distributed to 1,574 households (4,331 individuals), the Free Lunch Program (Wesley
House), the SE Linn Community Food Reservoir (for Johnson County families), churches and
community groups, and the Salvation Army Evening Meal Program. Crisis Center distribution is
not included in the distribution figures. Qualifications for receiving meat included: Johnson
County resident, collect meat only once a month, choose either but not both the Salvation Army
or the Crisis Center as preferred pick-up location, and five pounds per family/one pound per
individual. Recipes were provided with the meat.
The City initiated an educational program, including display ads in local newspapers, the use of
City Channel 4 to convey high risk periods for deer-vehicle collisions, a brochure discussing Iowa
City deer issues and suggesting ways to coexist with deer, and a deer management video
broadcast on City Channel 4 and available for checkout at the public library.
Additional Streiter reflectors were added to the N. Dubuque Street and N. Dodge Street systems,
and a new system was installed on Rochester Avenue. Deer warning signs manufactured with
improved reflective material were placed at the beginning of the reflector systems along each
traffic lane. In March, the City's website launched a deer information page including frequently
asked questions, a listing of deer resistant plantings, a map indicating deer-vehicle accidents for
1999, and a public comment board. Content of the website will be expanded as the program
progresses.
After assessing the local situation, White Buffalo staff did not recommend Iowa City as a potential
site for a contraceptive study at this time. The City requested a similar analysis and
recommendation from HSUS.
2000-2001
The 2000-2001 Deer Management Committee met from June 19 through August 30, formulating
a plan similar to the first three and increasing the number of deer to be killed to no more than 500.
The Committee reviewed criteria on recommendation of a sharpshooting contractor. White
Buffalo, Inc. had established contacts with property owners and performed the shoot in 1999-
2000 as they indicated. Committee members felt comfortable with the manner in which they
conducted their operation. Therefore, the Committee recommended and the City Council agreed
that the sharpshooting contract should be awarded again to White Buffalo.
21
Extensive preparation of 36 bait sites took place between November 27 and December 11.
Sharpshooting took place between December 12 and December 22 and resumed again January
7 through January 18. During those periods, White Buffalo, Inc. killed 340 deer by sharpshooting.
When using the "first opportunity" approach, the killing demographics are usually representative
of the population as a whole. A total of 204 females (60%) and 136 males (40%) were killed.
Seventy-six deer (22%) had visible antlers, whereas 264 deer (78%) were antlerless. Sixty male
fawns were included in the antlerless grouping. Students from Coe College performed
reproductive autopsies and collected blood samples to test for evidence of Lyme disease.
Deer meat was distributed to local residents by the Salvation Army. Approximately 15,000 pounds
were distributed to 3,104 households, the Free Lunch Program (Wesley House), the SE Linn
Community Food Reservoir (for Johnson County families), churches and community groups, and
the Salvation Army Evening Meal Program. Recipes were provided with the meat.
The City continued an educational program, including display ads in local newspapers, the use of
City Channel 4 to convey high risk periods for deer-vehicle collisions, an area on the City's web
site containing deer issues and suggesting ways to coexist with deer, and a deer management
video broadcast on City Channel 4 and available for checkout at the public library.
The Streiter reflectors were maintained.
After assessing the local situation, White Buffalo staff again did not recommend Iowa City as a
potential site for a contraceptive study at this time. The City continues to await a response from
HSUS.
2001-2002
The 2001-2002 Deer Task Force met from March 20 through September 10, 2001, formulating a
plan similar to the first four and setting the number of deer to be killed to no more than 325. The
Task Froce reviewed criteria on recommendation of a sharpshooting contractor. White Buffalo,
Inc. had established contacts with property owners and performed the shoot in 2000-2001 as they
indicated. Task Force members felt comfortable with the manner in which they conducted their
operation. Therefore, the Task Force recommended and the City Council agreed that the
sharpshooting contract should be awarded to white Buffalo. The Summary Report of White
Buffalo's 2001-2002 activities is included as Attachment A.
Extensive preparation of 28 bait sites took place between November 20 and November 30.
Sharpshooting took place between December 1 and December 20. During that period, 18 days
of days of fieldwork were required to achieve the killing of 250 deer. When using the "first
opportunity" approach, the killing demographics are usually representative of the population as a
whole. A total of 137 females (55%) and 113 males (45%) were killed. Fifty-six deer (22%) had
visible antlers, whereas 194 deer (78%) were antlerless. Fifty-seven male fawns were included in
the antlerless grouping.
Deer meat was distributed to local residents by the Salvation Army. Approximately 8,715 pounds
were distributed to 3,548 individuals as well as 852 pounds of meet distributed to nine
organizations. Recipes were provided with the meat.
The City continued an educational program, including display ads in local newspapers, the use of
City Channel 4 to convey high risk periods for deer-vehicle collisions, an area on the City's web
site containing deer issues and suggesting ways to coexist with deer, and a deer management
video broadcast on City Channel 4 and available for checkout at the public library.
22
The Streiter reflectors were maintained.
After assessing the local situation, White Buffalo staff again did not recommend Iowa City as a
potential site for a contraceptive study at this time.
2002-2003
After taking into consideration several factors, the Task Force, by a vote of 6-1 (2 members were
absent), determined killing of deer would not be necessary during the winter of 2002-2003. The
money that was budgeted for deer management in 2002-2003 was carried over for possible use
in 2003-2004.
2003-2004
The 2003-2004 Deer Task Force met on a regular basis, formulating a plan similar to the first four
and setting the number of deer to be killed to no more than 200. The Task Force reviewed criteria
on recommendation of a sharpshooting contractor. White Buffalo, Inc. had established contacts
with property owners and performed the shoot. Task Force members felt comfortable with the
manner in which they conducted their operation. Therefore, the Task Force recommended and
the City Council agreed that the sharpshooting contract should be awarded to White Buffalo, Inc.
The Summary Report of White Buffalo's 2003-2004 activities is included as Attachment A.
Initial site preparation and prebaiting were conducted from 16 November 2003 - 26 November
2003.
Sharpshooting began on November 28, 2003 and continued through December 13. During that
period, 14 days of fieldwork were required to achieve the killing of 200 deer. When using the "first
opportunity" approach, the killing demographics are usually representative of the population as a
whole. A total of 107 females (54%) and 93 males (46%) were killed. Sixty-two deer (31%) had
visible antlers, whereas 138 deer (69%) were antlerless. Thirty-one male fawns were included in
the antlerless harvest.
Deer meat was distributed to local residents by the Salvation Army. Approximately 4,851 pounds
of meat were distributed to approximately 556 families. Recipes were provided with the meat.
2004-2005
The Deer Task Force was re-established in August 2004. Two of the three vacancies were filled
at that time. Originally, deer removal was not scheduled or budgeted for 2004, however upon
review of the deer/vehicle accidents and a population modeling prepared by the Iowa DNR it was
determined deer removal should be implemented for the winter of 2004. It was a unanimous
decision by the Deer Task Force to recommend to the City Council to enter into an agreement
with White Buffalo, Inc. to perform deer removal services during the winter of 2004.
COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND TASK FORCE ANSWERS
Don't I have the right to enjoy the deer in my neighborhood or the park I visit?
Absolutely yes! It has never been the intent of the Task Force to eradicate Iowa City's deer
herd.
23
I don't understand the discussion of a deer no-feed policy. If we can have bird feeders,
why can't we feed cracked corn to deer in the backyard?
Our desire to observe wildlife and to know they are present in our surroundings is
understandable. However, the well-being of wild creatures is best maintained by watching
from a distance and not by attempting to entice them to our immediate living area. Even bird
feeders can have undesirable consequences if placement or poor maintenance alters
migration timing, spreads disease, or causes an imbalance in species distribution. Given the
large deer population in Iowa City, supplemental feeding is an invitation to negative deer-
human interactions that further promote the call for lethal deer removal. Deer movement to
and from a supplemental feeding site or salt block frequently involves street crossings and
consequent automobile accidents. Concentration of deer at a feeding site causes increased
browse damage, soil erosion, and excrement in the feeding area and on neighboring
properties. Given their varied diet, it is wrong to assume deer will eat only the corn and ignore
vegetation in the area. Routine backyard feedings alter deer behavior patterns such that they
no longer fear humans.
With repeated invitations to human surroundings, deer that should otherwise be shy and
dispersed away from humans spend their time looking for handouts and tasty plantings in
more densely developed areas. The desire to feed and view deer up-close should be
tempered by the realization that this activity is a primary cause for deer-human conflicts. Deer
will ultimately be the loser in these conflicts. A good general reference is Living with Wildlife,
California Center for Wildlife (a Sierra Club Book, 1994) available at the Iowa City Public
Library.
If no population control methods are implemented, what would likely occur to other plant and
animal life in the city?
The effect of deer on other plant and animal life depends greatly on the number of deer
present and the length of time numbers stay at a given level. Although at even low levels (10-
20 deer/sq. mi.), the effects on species composition of the plant and animal communities are
measurable, they are quickly reversed when deer levels are reduced. At high levels (25 or
more deer/sq. mi.), the effects over the short term are likely reversible; over the long term,
however, many native plant species will be eliminated locally, and they will not likely
reestablish even if deer numbers are reduced. In addition, animals, both vertebrate and
invertebrate, that depend on those plants will be driven locally extinct. The result is a species-
poor community consisting only of a few plants, often non-native, that are avoided by deer
because of their thorns or distastefulness. For example, the area behind the Mayflower
Apartments contained a full complement of spring flora species 25 years ago, but today nearly
all non-woody vegetation between ground level and approximately 6 to 8 feet above ground
has been eliminated.
Why don't you provide more educational programs and materials?
It appears the most cost-effective method of educating the public is to respond to citizen
requests for information by providing items such as a brochure. Information from each year's
plan will be available on the City's website. The Task Force is committed to regularly
recommend and develop new educational materials and resources. We also encourage all
those interested in educating the public about ways to live with deer to do so. This effort does
not necessarily have to be organized through the City.
Can't the peninsula be preserved to provide a refuge for the deer in Iowa City?
No. Deer frequently swim across the Iowa River and cross the highways to feed in other areas
of town. Creating a safe haven for deer there would require fencing the peninsula and would
eventually lead to destruction of all vegetation there.
24
Have you killed deer on the peninsula because of the planned development?
The City purchased portions of the peninsula in 1995 for $2,000,000, using general funds
($1.3m) and HUD Supplemental CDBG Flood Relief Funds ($.7m). The lower peninsula,
situated in the floodplain, is already designed as both a natural woodland, prairie, and wetland
park as well as a well field for the City's water supply.
To reimburse the general fund, the 70-acre upper peninsula has been sold to a developer.
The peninsula neighborhood is intended to be a well-designed and environmentally sensitive
development in the special setting of land overlooking a natural park and the Iowa River. The
goals of the project are to provide housing for a variety of types of households and to show
how different housing types can be proximate to each other and succeed through careful
design, to complete an urban neighborhood in an infill site, and to provide a model of an
alternative to conventional subdivisions for the development community in Iowa City.
The recommendation to kill deer on the peninsula was made without reference to planned
development and, according to City staff, the planned development was made without
reference to the deer. The peninsula was one of the most appropriate areas to implement the
reduction program because it has the highest number of deer per square mile and it provides
several natural sites for sharpshooting.
Why aren't you recommending that bow and arrow hunting be included in the plan,
particularly since it is cheaper than hiring sharpshooters?
A majority of members believe that sharpshooting is the most humane and effective lethal
method of reducing Iowa City's large deer herd. Some members view bow hunting as
inhumane. In addition, some members do not regard Iowa City's deer management as a
recreational activity or sport for hunters and do not wish to encourage such a concept. The
Task Force recognizes, however, that bow hunting is a potential legal option, and some
members have voiced interest in a bow hunting component in Iowa City's management plan.
Efforts will be made during the winter of 2002-2003 to receive feedback from residents on the
incorporation of bow hunting into future deer management plans. We recognize that costs are
minimal with bow hunting, but believe the community finds sharpshooting a more acceptable
method than bowhunting for killing deer for management purposes.
How have other communities handled deer management?
Programs for deer management vary widely. Communities we contacted in Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, and New York have tried a variety of methods:
· City officials implementing a plan without citizen input.
· City officials appointing a citizens' task force to review options and recommend a plan.
· Leaving the issue of killing deer up to the citizens via a non-binding referendum (it is
interesting to note the residents voted to kill deer and the Council ultimately decided not
to kill deer.)
· Use of bow hunting only (both extremely regulated and nearly unregulated restrictions).
· Use of sharpshooting only (local law enforcement, federal agents, or private contractors).
· Use of a combination of methods to kill deer (bow hunting and sharpshooting).
The Task Force did not locate a single community in which deer were not killed and the
population stabilized or decreased naturally. One community in Illinois reported that they did
not kill deer and no longer had a "deer problem." However, the surrounding communities were
actively managing deer using an annual kill.

RE: Resolution of Support for Whispering Garden IHA Limited Partnership
On the Council's agenda there is a resolution of support for Whispering Garden IHA Limited
Partnership. Whispering Garden IHA Limited Partnership has requested Council's support as
a portion of their application for funding through the Low Income Housing Tax Credit
(LIHTC) program.
Whispering Garden IHA Limited Partnership is proposing to construct 12 units of affordable
rental housing in the Whispering Meadows Subdivision. As there were no location criteria or
guidelines in place at the time the FY04 HOME funds were awarded, the City of Iowa City
executed an agreement with Whispering Garden IHA Limited Partnership on March 11, 2004
for the use of these monies.
The Whispering Garden IHA Limited Partnership project (as proposed) is a portion of the
larger project that was discussed at the November 1 work session. The additional four
lots/units that were to be assisted with FY05 HOME funds are not included in the proposed
project that is requesting City Council support.

c. In connection with the Petition and Waiver Agreement, any lienholders on
the development property shall subordinate their interests in the
development property to the terms of the Petition and Waiver Agreement.
3. Developer's Costs Within Iowa Citv.

paid by Iowa City on Developer's behalf for engineering design services
pursuant to the parties' earlier 28E Agreement from the date of Iowa City's
payment until Iowa City's sale of bonds to finance the project. Said interest
shall be paid by Developer within 30 days of notice by Iowa City that it has
sold said bonds.
b. Iowa City will sell bonds to cover both Iowa City's and Developer's share of
the costs of construction within Iowa City. 56% of Developer's share of
Division 2 will be financed by Iowa City. Developer shall reimburse Iowa City
for all actual costs of Developer's share, as follows. Annually, on the
anniversary of the bond sale, Developer will pay interest on its share at the
rate of 4% or the interest on the bonds, whichever is greater. The principal
will be paid back on a per acre basis within 30 days following adoption by the
City Council of a resolution approving a final plat. The development property
is that portion of the 462 acres of "Clear Creek" land, as identified in the
parties' Memorandum of Understanding, that lies within Iowa City after
annexation as contemplated in section C of this Agreement, excluding the
property owned by Beverly Horton. The Developer's promise to pay interest
and principal will be set forth in a promissory note given to Iowa City and
secured by a mortgage on said development property. The mortgage will be
partially released as payments of principal are made. The principal will be
due in full without regard to development 10 years after final acceptance of
the project. The City's mortgage will be senior to all other liens.
c. Prior to award of the contract Developer shall provide evidence satisfactory to
Iowa City that it has title to all development property free and clear of all liens
or, if liens do exist, agreements by the lienholders that they will subordinate
their interests to Iowa City's mortgage.
d. Developer shall execute said note and mortgage prior to award of the
contract.
e. Iowa City's agreements hereunder are made only with respect to Camp
Cardinal Road and water main and storm sewer infrastructure as set forth in

the plans prepared by Snyder and Associates and not with respect to any
other infrastructure such as construction of the detention pond detailed as
Division 2A on Exhibit A attached hereto, sanitary sewer extensions and
extensions of any other public or private utilities such as gas, electric and
telecommunications. All existing tap-on fees remain in effect.
4. Developer may, from time to time, undertake certain construction activities
related to the project, which activities may take place upon the property of Developer
exclusively, or may occur upon right-of-way owned by either Iowa City, Coralville, or
upon both. If such construction activity is approved in advance by the cities in writing,
Developer shall be reimbursed upon acceptance of the work by Coralville pursuant to
Section IV (F)(4) hereof. Iowa City will not approve construction activity unless it is
consistent with the public bidding requirements of Iowa law as determined by Iowa City.
Developer shall be reimbursed only for out-of-pocket costs paid to third party contractors
and not for construction activities or services provided by Developer or a related party.
Amounts reimbursed to Developer shall be a cost of construction and recovered
according to the formula and mechanism set out above.
H. Filing. The City Clerk of Coralville shall file this agreement with the Secretary of State
and record this agreement in the Office of the Johnson County Recorder as required by
g28E.8 of the Code of Iowa (2003).

authorizing and approving the issuance of the Bonds, and the execution and delivery of
necessary documents related to the issuance of the Bonds;
WHEREAS, due to a change in circumstances relating to the marketing of the Bonds, the

hereby amended to reflect the change in the aggregate principal amount of the Series 2004A
Bond.
Section 2. Resolution No, 04-222 is hereby amended to delete references to the

Section 3, All references to "Bonds" in Resolution No, 04-222 are hereby amended
to refer only to the Series 2004A Bond.
Section 4. All other provisions of Resolution No. 04-222, including the authorization

Section 5. In Resolution 04-222, the Issuer designated the Series 2004A Bond as a
"qualified tax-exempt obligation" for purposes of Section 265(b )(3) of the Code. The Issuer

exceed $7,000,000, and hereby makes the following factual statements and representations:
(A) The Issuer hereby designates the Series 2004A Bond as a "qualified tax-exempt
obligation" for purposes of Section 265(b )(3) of the Code;
(B) The reasonably anticipated amount of tax-exempt obligations (other than
obligations described in clause (ii) of Section 265(b )(3)( c) of the Code) which will be issued by
