GUESTS

Mr. Brian Hudgins, Maintenance Supervisor of Aston Oaks Golf Course is requesting a North Bend Title 9 ordinance amendment to allow deer culling (approximately 8 - 14) only on the Aston Oaks Golf Course property through December 31, 2014.   Dave Moorman asked about what type of weapon would be used and would this pertain to Aston Oaks Golf Course property only.  Bow hunting would be the type of weapon used and it only pertains to Aston Oaks Golf Course property.  Mr. Hudgins has already secured all the necessary Ohio Division of Wildlife permissions and permits.

Dave Moorman asked about the scenario of a deer being hit but falling outside of North Bend boundaries.  Brian stated he would need the property owner’s permission to retrieve the deer.

Fran Romweber asked about the boundaries of Aston Oaks Golf Course property and Brian said they would use the Auditor’s maps.  Fran also mentioned that deer are major carriers of lime disease.

Dave Moorman said tonight’s discussion was the informative part of this topic.  The public will have until our July 28 Council meeting to comment.

Mayor Sammons asked if a Resolution versus an Ordinance would suffice.  Jim Reichert is working to properly word the Ordinance amendment.   There may be a problem with issuing an exception to one specific property owner.  Dave Moorman says other communities set a minimum property size, (such as acreage).  Jim Reichert proposed further Law and Ordinance Committee consideration.

FIRE REPORT

Assistant Chief Wells reported there were three (3) fire runs and eighteen (18) EMS runs for the month of May.   There was a discussion of details around the EMS runs.  No particular pattern exists.
