Des Moines - The Iowa Department of Natural
Resources is hosting public meetings over the Iowa Communications
Network on February 22 from 6 to 9 p.m., to listen to the
public’s thoughts on the hunting and trapping regulations for this fall.
A few meeting locations have changed. Sac City has been moved to Sac
City Middle School and in Council Bluffs to Iowa Western Community College. The
meeting originally scheduled for Peosta has been moved to Dubuque to the
Northeast Iowa Community College downtown campus. The locations of ICN meeting
locations are listed below.
These meetings are part of the process for making rules in state
government.
“Any rule changes must be discussed with Iowa’s citizens
who might be impacted by the changes before the rule changes are proposed. The
process helps ensure that rule changes serve the public’s wishes and do not
impact Iowa’s economy,” said Dr. Dale Garner, chief of the wildlife
bureau.
At each meeting DNR staff will facilitate a discussion about
what went well last fall, what didn’t, and what changes hunters and trappers
would like to see for this fall.
These discussions along with the data that the wildlife bureau
collects on harvest and population numbers will be used to develop recommendations
for any rule changes. Any changes must be approved by the Natural Resource
Commission and then go back to the public for further comment before taking
effect next fall.
Meetings will be held in Ankeny, Boone, Calmar, Centerville,
Clinton, Correctionville, Council Bluffs, Creston, Dubuque, Iowa City,
Marshalltown, Mason City, Ottumwa, Sac City, Sheldon, Spencer, Tripoli and West
Burlington.
