Subject: Monroe Park

Dear Mayor Bonham:

I am writing in regard to the proposed law banning the feeding of pigeons in Monroe Park

I would like to express my support for this legislation I do not dislike pigeons but I feel that they are unsanitary and anuisance

I love Monroe Park but have been forced to stay away from the area I used to go running and have picnics in thepark, but the pigeon population is out of hand and it is nearly impossible to do anything without a pigeon getting in theway Last time my family and I had a picnic, a pigeon kept landing on our table and coming back despite our efforts tomake it leave

People must stop feeding these birds If this legislation passes, I believe park conditions will be overall improved Itwill be cleaner and more pleasant

Thank you for your time and your concern for our city

Russell Glanz
