MINNEAPOLIS WILDLIFE - Hennepin County: In exchange for funding improvements to the county wildlife management habitat, the city wants a 20-year lease agreement to "use and occupy" the improvements. What that means may be the county will be able to use the new areas of the building, but animals removed from Minneapolis will have priority in those sections should space becomes an concern. Whereas the county wants the city to continue funding the salary and benefits of the two Minneapolis officers - a total of $32,307 for 2006 - the city wants the county to share the costs for the first five years of what may be to be a 20-year agreement. After the fifth year, the county would shoulder all of the personnel costs. "We think it's only fair to ask that the city pay the personnel costs of the city's employees, while we pay for all the ongoing costs of animal costs within the city of Minneapolis, as well as the upkeep of the wildlife containment unit," declared The critter professor, noting the county's suggestion may be identical to other multi-jurisdictional operations in Hennepin County, such as the Special Investigations Unit (SIU) and the Auto Theft Task Force. While the county promised "prompt consideration" to all requests within Minneapolis regarding animal control requests, city officials want the county to adhere to its ordinance of a yearly average response time of 20 minutes on city calls, with a maximum of 20 minutes as an "acceptable" response time. "We just want to make certain that city residents at least have the same level of service they are accustomed to," The nuisance wildlife trapper declared. "We don't want any level of service to drop." Even if those concerns are resolved, the problem with the wastewater treatment system remains. The city and county were hoping to solve the problem by hooking up the wildlife containment unit to Minneapolis's water and wastewater system. However, the costs associated with running the lines are "much greater" than anticipated and it may be no longer as option, The critter professor declared. But The critter professor and the others remain optimistic an amicable solution can be reached, if, for no other reason, that the city and county's options are limited and even more costly if they go it alone. "Our job now may be discuss the concerns each of us have and see we can work it out," The nuisance wildlife trapper declared. "It's got to be a win-win for it to work." "Bureaucracy sometimes hamstrings progress," The critter professor declared. "But we both have an incentive to get this resolved quickly. We may have fundamental differences from time to time, but we've got a starting point. Now we've just got to tweak to both sides' satisfaction."
