HomeMy WebLinkAboutX-D-01 Department of Natural Resources - Gores Pool #3 Wildlife Management Area City Council Memorandum
To: Mayor Fasbender and City Council Members
From: David Wilske, Chief of Police
Date: December 16th, 2024
Item: Gores Pool #3 Wildlife Management Area
Council Action Requested:
Background review of DNR Hunting Land within city limits and possible action on buffer zone for
designated properties.
Background Information:
The City of Hastings entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the DNR in 2008. This
MOU allowed for hunting within city limits for small game, Wild Turkey, and archery hunting for deer.
The 2008 MOU agreed that a 200-foot buffer would be instituted for two properties during a special
deer management hunt. The DNR has never instituted a special deer hunt for this area.
The neighborhood affected by Gores Pool #3 has changed over the years and the request to add this
200-foot buffer for certain properties has been requested by homeowners. The DNR has also acquired
additional land with Wildlife Management Area Funds and is interested in updating the original MOU to
incorporate this newly acquired land.
