management plan in place so when there are issues,they can implement a strategy working with the
Department of Natural Resources(DNR) and independent contractors.
Birno said he would like input from the commission.Commission members discussed concerns about
the vague range of annual potential numbers of nest agitation and removals, measures of success,
overall impact,value of investment, and staff time.
Staff responded that this is new territory and therefore it is difficult to provide any measureable
estimations. Wildlife management specialists at the DNR have reviewed both plans and were satisfied
with the estimates and the proposed processes. Budget will impact options available and the outcomes
on any given year. Birno noted that both proposed plans will be posted online for a public comment
