CITY COMMISSION MINUTES I REGULAR MEETING I MONDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 2020 PAGE 11 OF 11 300 City of Winter Springs Regular Commission Meeting November 16, 2020 Non-Agenda Item Public Input Colleen Murphy — 684 Fanning Drive, Winter Springs Good Evening Mayor & Commissioners, My 3 -minute limit won't allow me to provide the full details of the incident I witnessed at Central Winds Park last Tuesday. While I'm aware that my concerns on this incident are not a priority item, I would still appreciate a future opportunity to discuss the full extent of what took place and why it was so upsetting. After exiting a walk on the park's nature trail, my husband and I noticed alligators sunning themselves on the banks of the large city retention pond bordering Lake Jesup. Moments later, at least one of those gators we saw, was baited and shot. Those who know that pond will know it's not readily visible to the public. The area is quiet and unpopulated. We go there to enjoy one of the few remaining natural parts of our city, bordering the Lake Jesup Conservation Area. I've submitted a packet of information showing the location of that pond and its proximity to the lake. A park employee told us she had called FWC because the gator was being fed, causing concerns about the Teach a Kid to Fish event. This incident is just one of many examples of an ongoing need to raise awareness and enforce violations of state statutes. For those who may be unaware, alligators are a federally and state protected species with a critical role in wetlands conservation. Gators travel back and forth from Lake Jesup, to these retention ponds, all the time. The city has many informed residents who understand the environmental value of the species and will leave them alone as these gators come and go routinely from many of our subdivisions. So you might imagine our surprise watching them baited and killed that day for simply existing in their own habitat. For every gator shot there, another will take its place. I'm concerned that in the absence of people or cameras in that part of the park, anyone could effectively bait and harvest gators unnoticed. Based on a phone call the park employee made that morning, it sounds like city employees can act at their own discretion in calling trappers. This lends itself to questionable and possibly unwarranted harvesting, especially for those who sound like they have a familiar relationship with certain trappers. Rather than habituating gators to this particular pond, I would ask that the city considers an alternate location for fishing. It's a privilege to have these parts of our park available to use responsibly, meaning we can't kill everything we perceive to be a nuisance in its own habitat. I ask that we all work to send a better message about our role in land stewardship, so we can lessen this situation in the future.

It ' s interesting that he leads "hunts" on "nuisance" gators and stays very busy. It seems that with his own description, virtually anyone could call him and deem any gator a nuisance, adding to his average take of 400 gators per year. This is why I would ask the city to keep a closer eye on park activities and approval for calling FWC. Hunter Reviews Have you hunted with Gator Chasers of FL?
