We captured and removed 218 birds (161 young and 57 adults) from 6 Edina sites. Detailed information on each capture site plus sites surveyed is also included. The cost will be $3,000. One of these sites, Lake Cornelia, is an airport goose control site and was covered by Airport project funds. However, we had to make two drives at the Mill Pond. I'm sending a contract to the University Office of Research Administration with a budget of $3,500 per year for 3 years. This should cover our expenses and is in the ballpark range we discussed. The city will be billed for actual rather than estimated expenses. Best wishes. Sincerely yours, Jam s A.

July 9, 1987 City of Edina Parks and Recreation Department Edina, MN Dear Sirs; 5861 Cedar Lake Road Minneapolis, MN 55416 (612) 546-4726 I'm writing to compliment you on the management and staff of the Municipal Pool. The guards are very attentive, and seem to take their job very seriously. The pool area is generally very clean, especially considering the amount of use . The basket attendants are very pleasant and helpful. You have a group of employees of whom you should be very proud. The other night I heard a patron complain that the music over the loudspeaker was distracting to his reading. He threatened to write you about the matter. I personally feel that the pool offers a festive, recreational environ- ment where music is appropriate. Quite, undisturbed reading is to be found in public libraries, not public pools. Since, oftentimes we don't take the time to compliment the people that arcdoing a job we appreciate, I hope you realize that I speak for many of the pool patrons. We cl.Q thank you for your management by returning day after day. Sincerely, Jennifer C. Davis 5516 Glengarry Parkway Edina, MN 55436 •
