Here's my first cursory review of the contract
- Stanek is the point man for the city (no surprise, it could have been Viland though)
- Meetings are by invite only of Stanek or USDA
- They can amend any time without public notice or council action (eg add captive bolt)
- They likely would have to go to council for approving more than $128K (I will get the legal ordinance language)
- USDA will kill on public and private property with needed ODOW permits
- No provision is included to require adjoining property owner permission, it seems this is at the city's discretion
- USDA will supervise their own people and activities
- All media discussions about this MUST be approved by the city AND USDA (gag order)
- Any legal conflicts with USDA are governed by Federal Tort law (making any legal action must less likely)
- USDA told Solon there are private suppliers (wonder if they mentioned anyone other than WB)
- Only 2/3 of the cost ($87K) is for the killing activity the other $41K is for Vehicle, Travel, Supplies, and "Program Support" (Management overhead?).
- The cost is capped at $128K for USDA billing, however the city will incur significant costs over and above $128K for items listed below.
- City must obtain ODOW permits
- City project coordinator must be accessible by USDA via cell
- Stock bait sites a week before and each day of killing
- City Police need to ensure areas are closed and empty
- City Police need to be present while USDA is killing
- Eviscerate, clean, store deer and ice carcasses after each day's kill
- Transport deer to processing plant within 24 hours
- Maintain records and produce reports for ODOW (didn't WB do that)
