Previously, municipalities were required to obtain permits on behalf of residents. Under the updated process, this requirement has been removed.  \nInstead, individual homeowners may now apply for permits directly. The only prerequisite is a formal letter issued by the city confirming that the homeowner is authorized to proceed independently. The homeowner assumes full responsibility for all matters related to the permit, including compliance, costs, and any associated obligations with the DNR.  \nA Minnetrista resident is requesting assistance in obtaining such a letter, to fulfill the new requirement.  \nDiscussion:  \nFurther clarification was obtained through a conversation with a DNR representative. Key takeaways include:  \n• A goose management plan is no longer required under the revised regulations.  \n• The city’s role is limited to providing a statement of acknowledgment or approval for the homeowner’s independent action.  \n• Due to the recency of these changes, there is currently no standardized template or formal guidance for the required letter.  \n• Historically, similar requests have primarily come from commercial entities such as businesses or golf courses, rather than private residents.  \nMission Statement:  \nThe City of Minnetrista will deliver quality services in a cost effective and innovative manner and provide opportunities for a high quality of life while protecting natural resources and maintaining a rural character.  \n2  \nSection 2, Item b)  \nConclusion:  \nThe DNR’s updated permitting process represents a shift toward individual responsibility and streamlined municipal involvement. The immediate need is for the city to provide a simple authorization letter enabling the homeowner to proceed with their permit application.  \nCity staff intend to handle these requests administratively by issuing the required authorization letters upon request, rather than requiring formal Council action. This approach is consistent with the simplified DNR process and reflects the limited role the city now plays. Staff may develop a standard letter template to ensure consistency, efficiency, and clarity in communicating that the homeowner is permitted to proceed and assumes all associated responsibility.  \nAttachments:  \n• MN DNR Canada Goose Removal Guide Sheet  \nMission Statement:  \nThe City of Minnetrista will deliver quality services in a cost effective and innovative manner and provide opportunities for a high quality of life while protecting natural resources and maintaining a rural character.  \n3  \nSection 2, Item b)  \nCanada Goose Removal  \nCanada geese are a valuable part of Minnesota’s ecosystem and provide recreational and subsistence opportunity.
