Summary Page 1City of Coppell, Texas Printed on 5/6/2022 1 MEMORANDUM To: Mayor and City Council From: Dennis Quinn, Director of Library Services Date: May 10, 2022 Reference: Discussion regarding Extended Hours for Cozby Library. Executive Summary The Cozby Library and Community Commons will soon be implementing a service that would allow customers to access the library outside of staffed hours for self-service amenities. In conjunction with the launch of this service, the Library will modify its schedule of fully-staffed hours to better match staffing levels to customer demand patterns. Background The Cozby Library has historically been a leader in its industry in terms of hours of service per week. With the exception of closures and modified hours in 2020 and 2021, it has observed a schedule of 70 hours per week, placing it in the 98th percentile of Texas public libraries. At the same time, there has been continued customer demand for additional hours, particularly in the evenings after its current closing times, and mostly for uses that would not require staff assistance. Providing additional facility hours at the current service level would require additional staffing, which is not currently feasible for the City. In 2019, staff began researching options that would allow for increased hours without increasing personnel, and identified a solution that would allow for self- service access to the facility without staff present. Staff gave an informational presentation to City Council on the findings of their research on September 20, 2020, aiming to implement the service as precautions related to the COVID-19 pandemic were eventually lifted. Staff developed a policy for use of the service, which was approved by the Library Advisory Board on August 12, 2021, and further amended on April 14, 2022. An initial target launch date in the fall of 2021 was delayed as efforts to coordinate with the City’s janitorial vendor on safety and security measures were not successful. Staff is now prepared to implement the service in June 2022. 2 Description of Proposed Service Upon implementation of Extended Hours, an authorized customer would be able to enter the Library by scanning the barcode on their library card at a kiosk installed in the front vestibule and entering their account PIN. Upon authentication, the doors to the lobby would open automatically and allow the customer into the Library. The customer would have access to the main library area (including the material collection, self-checkout stations, computer workstations, document center, and study tables) as well as the lobby, the Commons, and the public restrooms. Study rooms and auxiliary spaces would be closed. The Library would be accessible in this manner in the evenings Monday through Friday, from the end of its staffed hours until midnight, at which time customers would be required to exit the building and the access system would not allow additional customers to enter. In order to access the Library during Extended Hours, a customer must be a Coppell resident, age 17 or older, with a library account in good standing, and who has signed an authorization form acknowledging they have read and agreed to the policy which applies to the service. Customers will be required to help preserve the integrity of the authentication system by not allowing persons into the Library with them other than members of their household. The Library is equipped with security cameras in various locations throughout the building, and customers will have access to personal alarms they may carry with them while in the building in case of emergency. Library staff has coordinated with the Coppell Police Department to arrange periodic patrol as part of their normal evening rounds. Staff will be able to review camera footage to verify customer compliance and determine responsibility in case of any harm to person or property. The Library reserves the right to revoke access from customers not adhering to the policy. Modifying Staffed Hours In tandem with the launch of this service, Library will adjust its schedule of fully-staffed hours to better suit customer demand. Currently the Library is open and staffed until 9:00 p.m. four nights per week (Monday through Thursday). On average, less than 5 customer interactions requiring personal assistance by staff occur during the hour between 8:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. each night. This is fewer customer interactions than any other hour during the week when the facility is open. With Extended Hours in place, the Library will have an opportunity to tailor its staffing schedule more closely to demand without impacting the availability of self-service amenities. Staffing the library until 8:00 p.m. on these evenings instead of until 9:00 p.m. would allow more staff to be present earlier in the day, where customer demand requiring staff intervention is higher. Timeline Following the presentation to Council, staff will begin public communication to notify residents of the upcoming availability of Extended Hours and adjustments to fully-staffed hours, with an implementation date planned for June 2022. 1 MEMORANDUM To: Mayor and City Council From: Kent Collins P.E., Director of Public Works Mike Garza, P.E., Assistant Director of Public Works Date: May 10, 2022 Reference: Discussion regarding Arbor Brook Channel Restoration Project 2040: Foundation Pillar: Sustainable City Government Goal 4: City Services to Ensure High Levels of Customer Satisfaction Introduction: Staff will present on the history and plans for the channel improvements.

The Recognition Program evaluates a fire department’s compliance with 114 best business practices for the departments in the State of Texas. These Best Practices cover all aspects of fire department management and service delivery including but not limited to administrative and organization, emergency medical services, fire prevention, risk reduction, community outreach, safety and health and professional standards and conduct. Texas Fire Chiefs Association Best Practices Program provides a pathway for a fire department to push its level of service to a level of excellence that is validated by independent experts. The department was first Recognized in May of 2014 after meeting all the required best business practices by the Texas Fire Chiefs Association Best Practices Recognition Program. The voluntary process required the Coppell Fire Department to conduct an internal review of the agency’s policies, procedures, facilities, and operations. As part of the recognition program, the department must continue to be committed to continuous improvements and the achievement of excellence through the “Best Practice” program. The Coppell Fire Department continued the process to maintain their achievement of “Recognized” by preparing proofs of compliance for each of the Texas Fire Chiefs Best Business Practices. Upon 2 completion of an internal review, all required “proofs” and documentation was submitted to the renewal committee. Analysis: On April 8, 2022, during the Annual Texas Fire Chief Association’s Conference, the department was recognized during the Awards Banquet that it had been awarded the coveted “Recognized Best Practice Fire Department” award for a third time. The final recommendation stated, “Chief Richardson and the Coppell Fire Department have proven program compliance, and in most aspects exceed program expectations. Congratulations to the Coppell Fire Department on their proven commitment towards excellence and quality service delivery.” The Coppell Fire Department is one of only a handful of departments in the state of Texas to maintain their “Recognized” designation as a Best Practices Fire Department. The Coppell Fire Department has always considered itself to be one of the best in the state. This process provided for an independent review of the department’s operations and should assure the citizens of Coppell that its’ Fire Department is conforming to the “Best Practices” in fire and medical services. Legal Review: Agenda item did not require legal review. Fiscal Impact: There is no fiscal impact of this agenda item. Recommendation: The Fire Department recommends approval.

Strategic Pillar Icon: Sustainable Government Page 2City of Coppell, Texas Printed on 5/6/2022 MEMORANDUM To: Mayor and City Council From: Kim Tiehen, Director of Finance Date: May 10, 2022 Reference: Consider approval of an Ordinance amending Chapter 1 ‘Administration’, Article 1-15 ‘taxation’, sections 1-15-1 and 1-15-2 of the Code of Ordinances to provide for an annual exemption from ad valorem taxation in the amount of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00) for individuals who are disabled or sixty-five (65) years of age or older; and authorizing the Mayor to sign. Introduction: At the April 26, 2022, Council Work Session, staff provided a presentation concerning various strategies for Council to consider regarding an increase in the Over 65/disabled (O65) exemption and the general homestead exemption. Staff was directed to bring forward an ordinance increasing the O65 property tax exemption from $75,000 to $100,000 for tax year 2022. Analysis: Based on an estimated average home value of $412,364.32, an increase in the O65/disabled property tax exemption to $100,000 will provide a potential savings of $136.49 for an O65 property owner, and a Non-O65 property owner will see a potential $16.22 increase in their tax bill. The potential impact on City property tax revenue in fiscal year 2023 will be a decrease of $344,762. The exact impact of this increase will not be known until the Central Appraisal Districts provide certified values on July 25 and the property tax rate is adopted by Council in August. Legal Review: The City Attorney prepared this ordinance. Fiscal Impact: The potential impact on City property tax revenue is a decrease of $344,762.

Foundation Pillar: Sustainable City Government Goal 4: City Services to Ensure High Levels of Customer Satisfaction Introduction: On April 5, 2022, Texas-New Mexico Power Company (TNMP) filed an Application for Approval to Amend its Distribution Cost Recovery Factor (“DCRF”) to Increase Distribution Rates with each of the cities in their service area. In the filing, the Company asserts that it is seeking an increase in total distribution revenue requirement by approximately $9,706,846. Typically, this application is filed annually. TNMP Cities must approve a resolution to be a party in the TNMP Company’s DCRF filing. This memo provides the background information about the current DCRF proceeding. The resolution authorizes the City of Coppell to join with the Cities Served by TNMP (“TNMP Cities”) to evaluate the filing, determine whether the filing complies with law, and if lawful, to determine what further strategy, including settlement, to pursue. 2 Purpose of the Resolution: The purpose of the Resolution is to deny the DCRF application proposed by TNMP. Explanation of “Be It Resolved” Paragraphs: 1.This section authorizes the City to participate with TNMP Cities as a party in the Company’s DCRF filing, PUC Docket No. 53436. 2.This section authorizes the hiring of Lloyd Gosselink and consultants to review the filing, negotiate with the Company, and make recommendations to the City regarding reasonable rates. Additionally, it authorizes TNMP Cities to direct any necessary administrative proceedings or court litigation associated with an appeal of this application filed with the PUC. 3.This paragraph finds that the Company’s application is unreasonable and should be denied. 4.This section states that the Company’s current rates shall not be changed. 5.The Company will reimburse Cities for their reasonable rate case expenses. Legal counsel and consultants approved by TNMP Cities will submit monthly invoices that will be forwarded to TNMP for reimbursement. 6.This section recites that the Resolution was passed at a meeting that was open to the public and that the consideration of the Resolution was properly noticed. 7.This section provides that TNMP and counsel for TNMP Cities will be notified of the City’s action by sending a copy of the approved and signed Resolution to counsel. Background Under state law, city governments and the Texas Public Utility Commission share regulatory authority over monopoly electric utilities. Cities typically band together in coalitions to exercise their portion of this shared authority. The City of Coppell is a member of the Cities Served by Texas-New Mexico Power Company ("TNMP Cities"), a coalition of similarly situated cities served by TNMP that have joined together to efficiently and cost effectively review and respond to electric issues affecting rates charged in TNMP's service area in matters before the Public Utility Commission ("Commission") and the courts. TNMP serves a relatively small section of Coppell on the Lewisville border. Other member cities are the cities of Alvin, Barstow, Blue Ridge, Celeste, Coppell, Dickinson, Emory, Farmersville, Fort Stockton, Friendswood, La Marque, Lewisville, and Texas City. By joining together, the members of TNMP Cities have been able to present a strong voice to the PUC and courts. This has served to reduce the prices that member cities and their residents pay for electricity. Participation in TNMP Cities demonstrates the concern of its members about the reliability, quality of service, and prices their citizens pay for power. The work undertaken by TNMP Cities has saved cities and ratepayers millions of dollars in unreasonable charges. 3 Legal Review: The agenda item was submitted by Thomas Brocato, Attorney with Lloyd Gosselink Rochelle & Townsend, P.C. with review by Bob Hager. Fiscal Impact: None. Recommendation: Approval recommended.

Page 1City of Coppell, Texas Printed on 5/6/2022 Master Continued (2022-6269) Strategic Pillar Icon: Sustainable Government Page 2City of Coppell, Texas Printed on 5/6/2022 1 MEMORANDUM To: Mayor and City Council From: Steven Shore, Facilities Manager Kent Collins, P.E., Director of Public Works Date: May 10, 2022 Reference: Consider award of a bid and approve a contract with American Mechanical Service; for the installation of air conditioning in the Village Parkway Pump Station; in the amount of $221,048.00; funded from bond proceeds; and authorizing the City Manager to sign any necessary documents. 2040: Pillar 0: Sustainable City Government, Goal 3 Well-maintained City Infrastructure and Facilities General: Currently the Village Parkway Pumping Station is not air conditioned. High Spring and Summer temperatures result in safety concerns for staff working in this environment and will shorten the life and increase maintenance of the equipment installed at the pumping station (equipment with circuit boards or chips typically have desirable operating temperature below 85°F). Installing air conditioning in the pump station is recommended to improve operational efficiency and life of the equipment in the facility. The lowest quote was American Mechanical Service with a quote of $221,048.00. Two other cooperative quotes were received ranging from $258,000.00 to $265,000.00 Work will include the installation of three 15-ton air conditioners and one 12-ton air conditioner. Introduction: This agenda item is being presented for approval to award a contract in the amount of $221,048.00 to American Mechanical Services, for the installation of an air conditioning system at the Village Parkway Pumping Station located at 1101 Village Parkway as funded by bond proceeds; and authorizing the City Manager to sign any necessary documents. 2 Analysis: The Water Quality Division of Public Works has reported that during Spring and Summer months the indoor temperature of the Village Parkway Pumping Station reaches well in excess of ninety degrees. This results in potentially hazardous working conditions for city staff maintaining the equipment. This also exceeds the recommended operating temperature of the equipment and controllers located there, which is not only valuable and expensive to repair or replace but critical to the operation of the city’s potable water system. High operating temperatures lead to potential reduction in the lifespan of the equipment resulting in increased maintenance and earlier replacement. Air conditioning system installation is recommended to maintain the correct ambient temperature as part of the water system redundancy project that is aimed at improving emergency water supply options and improving the efficiency of the water system. Legal Review: The City’s standard form contract is being utilized and is reviewed periodically by the City Attorney. Fiscal Impact: Fiscal impact of this agenda item is $221,048.00, funded from bond proceeds. Recommendation: The Public Works Department recommends approval of this item.

This partnership with Dallas County will extend the quantity of concrete panel replacement this fiscal year. ·Dallas County has agreed to cover half of the cost of panel replacement work on Sandy Lake and Moore Road, with a value of up to $523,250.00 and equating to 4,025 square yards of concrete panel replacement (total project value of $1,046,500.00 and 8,050 square yards of concrete). ·The reimbursement is up to $523,250.00 from Dallas County when work is completed. ·This award will increase the Annual Sidewalk, Street & Alley Pavement Repair quantities with F&F Concrete, LLC to add concrete panel repair and replacement on Sandy Lake Road and Moore Road. ·The existing award amount is $1,250,00.00 with F&F Concrete, LLC., approved by City Council on December 14, 2021. ·The new total award amount will be $2,296,500.00 with F&F Concrete, LLC. Introduction: This agenda item is being presented for approval of an increase in the award amount for the Annual Sidewalk, Street & Alley Pavement Repair contract with F&F Concrete, LLC, to add concrete street repairs on Sandy Lake Road and Moore Road, in the amount of $1,046,500.00, from quarter-cent IMF fund balance; with future reimbursement up to $523,250.00 from Dallas County; for a total award of $2,296,500.00; and authorizing the City Manager to sign all necessary documents. Analysis: To provide well-maintained city infrastructure, our concrete sidewalks, streets, and alleys require ongoing maintenance and repair. Preventative maintenance and repair work will extend the life of the concrete paving. Dallas County and the City of Coppell partner on several capital and maintenance projects. This project will cover needed concrete panel replacement/maintenance on Moore Road and Sandy Lake Road. This partnership is specifically for “Type B” roads which could generally be described as collector and arterial streets. Based on the condition assessment of the streets in Coppell, Moore Road and Sandy Lake Road need an estimated 8,050 square yards of concrete panel replacement. This partnered project will result in Dallas County reimbursing the city for 50% of the cost of those panel replacements. In accordance with the approved PSA, the city will cover the cost of the maintenance work through the existing contract with F&F Concrete, LLC, and paying for the additional work out of quarter- cent IMF fund balance. Dallas County will reimburse the city for 50% of the work specified at the end of the project. The city invests heavily in its street maintenance annually and this partnership will extend the impact of that investment. Legal Review: The contract and award were reviewed by the city attorney. Fiscal Impact: The fiscal impact of this agenda item is $1,046,500.00, from quarter-cent IMF fund balance; with future reimbursement up to $523,250.00 from Dallas County. Recommendation: The Public Works Department recommends approval of this item.

Strategic Pillar Icon: Enhance the Unique 'Community Oasis' Experience Page 2City of Coppell, Texas Printed on 5/6/2022 1 MEMORANDUM To: Mayor and City Council From: Mindi Hurley, Director of Community Development Date: May 10, 2022 Reference: Public Hearing: Consider approval of PD-144R-TH-2, a zoning change request from PD-144-TH- 2 (Planned Development-144-Townhouse Two) to PD-144R-TH-2 (Planned Development-144- Revised -Townhouse 2) to revise the Planned Development to modify carport requirements for the subdivision on approximately 40 acres of land located at the southwest corner of Parkway Boulevard and Moore Road, at the request of James and Sarah Goyne, being represented by Greg Goyne. 2040: Enhance the “Community Oasis” Experience Executive Summary: The subdivision was approved in the mid 1980’s with the duplexes constructed with only a one car garage per residence. Many of the existing carports were constructed 20+ years ago and the homes have changed hands multiple times since then. All new residential construction requires a minimum two-car garage for single-family residential. These homes are a rear entry product meaning garages are located at the rear of the homes with access from an alley. The current ordinance requirements for this subdivision are a 20-ft rear setback for any off-street parking area or structure. The average actual rear setback to the houses/garages is approximately 25 ft, not enough room to construct a parking structure that complies with the 20-ft setback rule on most lots. Introduction: There are approximately 30 existing carports located in this subdivision of 264 single-family lots. All but two are interior to the site, meaning they are not visible from the street. There are two that face Moore Road, which does not have any screening from the road. In researching the carports, staff was only able to find one permit (1989) for a carport. Staff began sending letters to the property owners regarding the permit and regulation requirements, and if they did not have a permit or were unable to obtain a permit, they would be required to take down the carport. Subsequently, the neighbors approached staff wanting to know how to proceed in requesting to have the carports allowed. Over half (134) of the property owners of the subdivision signed a petition to request an amendment t o their PD regulations. The residents would like to maintain the benefits of having a carport which they’ve cited as: sun, hail protection of cars, shielding residents from the weather especially for those needing handicap accessibility and as a result incentivizing more off-street parking. Analysis: On April 21, 2022, the Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended APPROVAL (7-0) of PD- 144R-TH-2, subject to the following conditions: 1. Carports shall only be allowed in the rear of the property and accessed by an alley. 2. Carports must be open on a minimum of three sides. 3. If one continuous carport is proposed across two properties, then an agreement will be required to be signed and filed at the county speaking to the maintenance responsibilities of the carport. This agreement would run with the property. 2 4. If the carport is located entirely on one property, the supporting columns shall be located on the subject property only. 5. The surface under the carport shall be paved with concrete. 6. A minimum 10-ft side yard setback shall be required for the carport support structures, except at the shared common property line of residential structure. The roof overhang cannot extend over the property line. 7. Materials for the carport structure will include wood and metal. Any exposed wood will need to be wood that is naturally durable (insect and rot resistant). Metal includes steel poles. 8. Posts may be wrapped with stone or brick if desired. 9. Roof materials can include standing seam metal roofs or similar that is rust resistant, composite shingles or other acceptable roofing material (ex. Clay tile). 10. Solar panels on the carports may be allowed if they meet all the Solar permit criteria and a separate permit and inspection for the solar panels will be required. 11. If the zoning is approved, the existing carports will need to apply for a permit and have a structural engineer evaluate the compliance of the structure with the currently adopted residential/building code(s). 12. The carport structure shall not extend past the rear property line. 13. The carport cannot extend higher than the roofline of the residential dwelling unit. 14. No storage shall be visible from the carport from any public area, excludes trach receptacles 15. PD shall have no effect on any HOA recorded deed restrictions or by-laws. Legal Review: The City Attorney attended the Planning and Zoning meeting and advised staff and the P&Z Commission during the meeting.

APPLICANT: Applicant: Representative: James & Sarah Goyne Greg Goyne 553 Stringfellow Dr. 928 Creek Xing Coppell, TX 75019 Coppell, TX 75019 jsgoyne@verizon.net greg.goyne@gmail.com 469-471-7431 214-457-5799 HISTORY: A carport permit was applied for by a resident, in a nearby subdivision, and was denied for not meeting the requirements. This resident then submitted addresses of existing carports, sheds, etc. to staff, that they believed did not meet the requirements either which included approximately 30 carports in the Sherwood Park subdivision. The Sherwood Park Subdivision was platted in the mid-1980’s under TH-2 zoning and was platted in two phases. Phase 1 fronted Parkway Blvd, and Phase 2 was south of that and terminated with Grace Lane. The subdivision was later rezoned in 1995 to PD-144-TH-2 to preserve the character of the existing single-family attached housing. HISTORIC COMMENT: There is no historic significance associated with this property. TRANSPORTATION: Parkway Blvd is a two-lane undivided collector with parking on the south side in a 60’ ROW. ITEM # 8 Page 2 of 4 Lodge Road is a two-lane residential road in a 50’ ROW. Moore Road is a two-lane undivided collector with bicycle lanes in a 60-ft ROW.

DISCUSSION: As discussed in the history section, the subdivision was approved in the mid 1980’s. The duplexes constructed only have a one car garage per residence. Many of the existing carports were constructed 20+ years ago and the homes have changed hands multiple times since then. The current parking requirements are a minimum two-car garage for single-family residential. The homes are a rear entry product meaning garages are located at the rear of the homes with access from an alley. The current ordinance requirements for this subdivision are a 20-ft rear setback for any off-street parking area or structure. The average actual rear setback to the houses/garages is approximately 25 ft, not enough room to construct a parking structure that complies with the 20-ft setback rule on most lots. There are approximately 30 existing carports located in this subdivision of 264 single-family lots. All but two are interior to the site, meaning they are not visible from the street. There are two that face Moore Road, which does not have any screening from the road. In researching the carports, staff was only able to find one permit (1989) for a carport. Staff began sending letters to the property owners regarding the permit and regulation requirements, and if they did not have a permit or were unable to obtain a permit, they would be required to take down the carport. Subsequently, the neighbors approached staff wanting to know how to proceed in requesting to have the carports allowed. Over half (134) of the property owners of the subdivision signed a petition to request an amendment to their PD regulations. The residents would like to maintain the benefits of having a carport which they’ve cited as: sun, hail protection of cars, shielding residents from the weather especially for those needing handicap accessibility and as a result incentivizing more off-street parking. In researching this request staff analyzed the Woodridge Subdivision located at Sandy Lake Road and MacArthur Blvd which is somewhat similar in nature. Here is the chronology of Woodridge Carport Amendment: 1982 – Lots Platted and houses built under TH-1 zoning (single family homes permitted, no garage required) 1983 – New zoning ordinance adopted (2 car attached garage required and single-family homes not allowed in TH) ITEM # 8 Page 3 of 4 1993 – Accessory structure regulations amended (20;’ rear setback required for rear-entry garages) 1995 – TH-1 District in Woodridge changed to a PD (BOA no longer authorized to grant a variance) 1996 – Susan Blackwood requests site plan amendment to PD to build a carport over existing concrete spaces. June 1996 – Ms. Blackwood’s request was denied by P&Z. Commission instructed staff to organize a committee to study means of resolving carport issue. June 1996- Woodridge Advisory Committee formed (included 2 Planning Commission Members, 2 property owners within Woodridge & 2 Woodridge HOA officers) July 1996 – The Committee conducted study and made recommendation to P&Z July 18th, 1996. Aug 7, 1996 – P&Z met in workshop session to discuss the proposed ordinance amendment in greater detail. Aug 15, 1996 – P&Z made recommendation to City Council. Sept 10, 1996 – City Council approved zoning change amendment October 8, 1996 – Council adopted ordinance amendment which allowed for a rear setback of 3-ft. The applicants from Sherwood Park are requesting an amendment to the PD conditions that would allow for reduced setback requirements for existing and proposed carports. The first step in the process, if the zoning is approved, is to apply for a permit and have a structural engineer evaluate the compliance of the existing carport structure with the currently adopted residential/building code(s). RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION: Staff is recommending APPROVAL of this request subject to the following conditions: 1. Carports shall only be allowed in the rear of the property and accessed by an alley. 2. Carports must be open on a minimum of three sides. 3. If one continuous carport is proposed across two properties, then an agreement will be required to be signed and filed at the county speaking to the maintenance responsibilities of the carport. This agreement would run with the property. 4. If the carport is located entirely on one property, the supporting columns shall be located on the subject property only. 5. The surface under the carport shall be paved with concrete. 6. A minimum 10-ft side yard setback shall be required for the carport support structures, except at the shared common property line of residential structure. The roof overhang cannot extend over the property line. 7. Materials for the carport structure will include wood and metal.

Neighbor Petitions SHERWOOD PARK ZONING CHANGE PROPOSAL TO ALLOW CARPORTS 4/12/2022 Background In August 2021, numerous citizens were notified that their carports were in violation of City Ordinances. At issue: Setback from rear property line was less than 20’ As a metal structure, the carports are over 150 ft2 There was no record of a permit prior to construction Many of these carports were constructed 20+ years ago, and current homeowners were caught unaware of these issues Homes bought/sold with carports intact Visible on Google or City plat map, but not cited or enforced in the past Many of the owners of these carports are senior citizens on fixed incomes Homes in this neighborhood have single-car garages whereas newer homes have double-car garages Since vast majority of these carports are on inner alleys, not visible from surrounding neighborhoods or major thoroughfares Zoning Change Objective In brainstorming possible solutions, City staff suggested neighbors could come together to propose an amended ordinance for the Sherwood Park planned development to allow carport construction Benefits of a carport include: sun, hail and rain protection for cars, handicap accessibility, and incentivizing more off-street parking This proposal petitions the City Council to consider a zoning change 134 homeowners have signed a petition requesting carports be allowed Equates to > 50% of the homeowners in Sherwood Park Requested Ordinance Amendment Carports shall only be allowed in the rear of the property and accessed by an alley.

Mrs. Magill who lives at 718 Stratford Lane, which abuts the HOA lot on the east side, and the residents at 717 Stratford Lane, which abuts the HOA lot on the west side of the street, have had multiple run-ins with the wild pigs. This case is to discuss the placement of a hog wire fence to keep the dangerous feral hogs from entering Stratford Lane. Introduction: The property under discussion for this zoning request is the 2.3-acre HOA lot located at the end of Stratford Lane and backs up to Denton Creek. The lot is heavily treed and has a 20-ft wide drainage easement running north- south from the street to the creek. The 100-year floodplain is located at the rear portion of the lot. The Stratford Manor neighborhood has been dealing with a wild pig problem for approximately two years. Mrs. Magill who lives at 718 Stratford Lane, which abuts the HOA lot on the east side, and the residents at 717 Stratford Lane, which abuts the HOA lot on the west side of the street, have had multiple run-ins with the wild pigs. The first run- in was in October of 2020 when they rooted up the front yard of Mrs. Magill. In September of 2021, the Magill’s witnessed the wild pigs in their front yard in the evening and thought they had scared them off. Unfortunately, the next morning both neighboring property owners awoke to damaged front yards. Pictures of this damage are attached. A petition signed by the residents of Stratford Manor, request the approval of the hog wire fence to keep the feral hogs from entering their subdivision. Analysis: On April 21, 2022, the Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended APPROVAL (7-0) of PD- 161R3-SF-12, subject to the following conditions: 1. The HOA will be responsible for repairing and/or replacing the hog fence in the event of work needing to be done by the City in the drainage easement or any utility work in a utility easement. 2. A gate shall be added to the fence to allow for City access to the City’s drainage easement. 3. The fence area shall be kept free of debris. 4. The applicant and staff will work with Cambridge Manor to relocate a portion of the eastern side of the fence more westerly and add some shrubs for screening. If no resolution is found, the fence may stay where it is. Since the Planning and Zoning meeting on April 21st, staff has met with the applicant and the adjacent neighbor to find an alternate location to end the fence on the eastern side of the HOA lot. An agreed upon location was found 2 that would have the fence tie into the Magill’s residential fence at a more westerly location. The new proposed location is far enough away from the residence on Cambridge Manor that no shrubs are necessary. Staff would suggest a shrub next to the existing side yard fence at the Magill’s house. The topography beyond the existing fence/gate drops and the shrub would provide additional screening.

APPLICANT: Owner: Stratford Manor Homeowners Association P.O. Box 2451 Coppell, TX 75019 StratfordManorHOA27@gmail.com 214-284-5971 HISTORY: In June 1997, Council approved a zone change from A (Agriculture) to Planned Development (PD-161-SF-12) which allowed for the construction of a 31-lot single-family subdivision on approximately 15 acres. This PD was amended in 2004 to allow for a 144-sf unmanned entry building, with increased landscaping behind the existing wall. In 2008, a PD amendment was approved to allow for a six-foot tall concrete block wall within and a gazebo roof to overhang the 20-ft buffer area, along the rear of Lot 12, Block A. HISTORIC COMMENT: There is no historic significance associated with this property.

DISCUSSION: I will begin with a very brief history on wild pigs taken from an article written by John C. Kinsey, CWB, and posted on the Texas Parks and Wildlife website. Pigs are not native to North America but introduced by explorers to North America. Domestic pigs were brought as a low maintenance source of food and as the explorers moved across the continent those domestic pigs left behind to fend for themselves became feral. The article goes on to say that from 1982 to 2016, the wild pig population in the United States increased from 2.4 million to 6.9 million, with 2.6 million estimated to be residing in Texas alone. The population in the United States continues to grow rapidly due to their high reproduction rate, generalist diet, and lack of natural predators. Wild pigs can start breeding as young as six months of age, with females having an average litter size of 4-6 piglets and can potentially breed multiple times in a year with a gestation period of 115 days and a month to wean the babies. Wild pigs are omnivores and consume between 3-5% of their body mass daily. According to the article it claims that wild pigs are listed as one of the top 100 worst exotic invasive species in the world. Most damage caused by wild pigs is through either rooting or direct consumption of plant and animal materials. They are capable of transmitting at least 30 bacterial, fungal and viral diseases which threaten humans, livestock and wildlife. The property under discussion for this zoning request is the 2.3-acre HOA lot located at the end of Stratford Lane and backs up to Denton Creek. The lot is heavily treed and has a 20-ft wide drainage easement running north-south from the street to the creek. The 100-year floodplain is located at the rear portion of the lot. The Stratford Manor neighborhood has been dealing with a wild pig problem for approximately two years. Mrs. Magill who lives at 718 Stratford Lane, which is abuts the HOA lot on the east side, and the residents at 717 Stratford Lane, which abuts the HOA lot on the west side of the street, have had multiple run-ins with the wild pigs. The first run-in was in October of 2020 when they rooted up the front yard of Mrs. Magill. In September of 2021, the Magill’s witnessed the wild pigs in their front yard in the evening and thought they had scared them off. Unfortunately, the next morning both neighboring property owners awoke to damaged front yards. Pictures of this damage are attached. The wild pigs made another visit to the area on October 10th and 15th, 2021, again causing damage to the properties landscaping (pictures included). The residents contacted a trapper and in their discussions with the trapper, the wild pigs, if trapped, would not necessarily result in a permanent solution. They decided not to hire the trapper, but instead opted to install a hog wire fence to stop the hogs from being able to access the street and in effect their neighborhood and front yards. The hog wire fence is located on the HOA lot at the end of the cul -de-sac and ties into the two residential lot’s fences on the east and west side of Stratford Lane. The hog wire panel is 16-ft wide by 52 inches tall with tied to fence stakes. The ITEM # 7 Page 3 of 3 upper panels have openings of 8-inches wide by 6-inches tall and the bottom two rows of the panel are 8-inches wide by 4-inches tall, preventing the baby wild pigs from access. The fence is approximately 339 feet in length and is approximately 73 feet north of the street. The fence weaves its way through the tree line and topography and is not located in the 100-yr floodplain. The fence itself is not immediately visible from the street and requires an amendment to the Planned Development zoning because it is not the required decorative metal. E-mails from the neighbors in Stratford Manor state their support and wish to keep the fence in place as a means to prevent the wild pigs from entering and causing damage to their properties. Staff is not opposed to the fence but would require that a gate be installed to allow for City access to the drainage easement, and that the HOA would be responsible for repairing/replacing the fence should the City need to do work in the easement. The HOA shall also keep the fence area free of debris. In our discussion with the HOA, they were amenable to these requirements. Staff is recommending approval subject to the conditions outlined below. RECOMMENDATION TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION: Staff is recommending APPROVAL of this request subject to the following conditions: 1. The HOA will be responsible for repairing and/or replacing the hog fence in the event of work needing to be done by the City in the drainage easement or any utility work in a utility easement. 2. A gate shall be added to the fence to allow for City access to the City’s drainage easement. 3. The fence area shall be kept free of debris. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Recommend approval of the request 2.

He basically talked us out of hiring him because he said that trapping might eliminate a hog but the problem is that there are so many that run Denton Creek, the levy, and the Trinity River there would always be more. He also said that by looking at my pictures he could tell that there was one lone boar hog that did the damage. He said the boars are territorial and if you remove one, another takes its place.

We tied into our backyard wrought iron fence as well. My brother-in-law bought the materials (312 ft hog wire panels, t post, and fasteners) from the Bartonville Tractor Supply and delivered them on his trailer. He got a discount because he has a farm exemption so the materials cost about $875 and I gave him a check for $1000 for materials and delivery.

Kinsey, CWB® 1ECOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT OF WILD PIGS PREFACE This publication is intended to serve as an informative document to provide the most current information available to the public as well as natural resource managers on wild pig ecology and management. Wild pig control in Texas and throughout the United States is a collaborative effort between many governmental and private entities with expertise in specific areas of wild pig control, management, and damage mitigation. Thus, this document will provide some links to informative resources from those entities based on their area of expertise. Because specifics about wild pig behavior, life history, and ecology vary throughout their range and because they are a relatively understudied species, this document is not intended to be Texas specific and will provide information from across the continental United States. However, it will offer Texas specific examples where possible and appropriate. INTRODUCTION TO NORTH AMERICA Pigs (Sus scrofa) are not native to North America (1, 2). The species was first introduced to the West Indies by Christopher Columbus in 1493 and then to the continental United States by Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto in 1539 when he landed at the Florida coast (3, 4). Domestic pigs were often carried on these excursions as a sustainable, low maintenance source of food. As explorers moved across the continent those domestic pigs would often be left behind, establishing the first populations of feral pigs in North America (5). The term feral refers to a domestic animal that has gone wild. Following these initial introductions, European settlers and Native Americans implemented free-ranging farming practices of domestic pigs that promoted the spread of feral pig populations (1, 6). Free-range farming methods were still practiced in some states through the 1950s (1). In addition to these feral pigs, Eurasian wild boar have been imported and released as an exotic game species for recreational hunting purposes across the United States since the early 1900s (1). Today’s free-range pig population in the United States is made up of feral pigs, Eurasian wild boar, and hybrid populations resulting from cross-breeding of Eurasian wild boar and feral pigs (4). Though there are morphological differences among the three, they are all referred to by the same scientific name and all recognized as exotic invasive species in the United States. Thus, for the purposes of this document all three subpopulations will be treated as one and will hereafter be referred to as wild pigs (1, 7, 8). POPULATION TRENDS Wild pigs are now the United States’ most abundant free-ranging introduced ungulate (9). The term ungulate refers to animals which have hooves. From 1982 to 2016, the wild pig population in the United States increased from 2.4 million to an estimated 6.9 million, with 2.6 million estimated to be residing in Texas alone (10, 11). The population in the United States continues to grow rapidly due to their high reproduction rate, generalist Occupied Unoccupied Texas Wild Pig Distribution by County This figure represents the distribution of wild pigs across Texas, by county, using data from the Southeastern Cooperative Wildlife Disease Study. As indicated in the map, El Paso County is the only county in Texas not occupied by feral swine as of 2019. 2 ECOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT OF WILD PIGS diet, and lack of natural predators (2, 9). Wild pigs have expanded their range in the United States from 18 States in 1982 to 35 States in 2016 (2). It was recently estimated that the rate of northward range expansion by wild pigs accelerated from approximately 4 miles to 7.8 miles per year from 1982 to 2012 (12). This rapid range expansion can be attributed to an estimated 18-21% annual population growth and an ability to thrive across various environments, however, one of the leading causes is the human-mediated transportation of wild pigs for hunting purposes (13-15). PREDATION In Europe and Asia, predation by natural predators can account for up to 25% of annual mortality at the population level (16). In the United States, however, humans are the most significant predator of wild pigs (5). Though predators such as coyotes (Canis latrans), bobcats (Lynx rufus), and golden eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) may opportunistically prey upon immature wild pigs; it is only where wild pigs exist with American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis), mountain lions (Puma concolor), and black bears (Ursus americanus) that any frequent intentional predation of the species may occur (17-19). Even where this type of predation does occur, it plays a minor role in wild pig mortality (5). REPRODUCTION The age at which reproductive maturity is reached is highly variable among populations of wild pigs (20). Males have been documented to reach sexual maturity by five months of age and have been observed attempting to breed at six months. However, breeding success is strongly correlated with size (20, 21). Thus, males are not typically successful in breeding until 12 to 18 months of age (18). Reproductive maturity has been documented in female wild pigs as early as three months of age, though successful first breeding is generally reported to occur between the ages of 6 and 10 months (18, 22). As with males, female reproductive maturity is also correlated with size. Researchers have found that females did not reach reproductive maturity until they reached approximately 100-140 lbs (22). Pigs have the highest reproductive rate of any ungulate; but like reproductive maturity, it is highly variable among populations (23-25). Females (sows) have multiple estrous cycles annually and can breed throughout the year with an average litter size of 4-6 young per litter (5). The average gestation period for a sow is approx- imately 115 days and they can breed again within a week of weaning their young, which can occur approximately one month after birth (26, 27). Though it is a physiological possibility for a sow to have three litters in approximately 14 months (28), researchers found that in southern Texas adult and sub-adult sows averaged 1.57 and 0.85 litters per year, respectively (25). Birthing events can occur every month of the year, though most wild pig populations exhibit prominent peaks in birthing events that correlate with forage availability (25, 29) with peaks generally occurring in the winter and spring months (30). In areas where forage is not a limiting factor, such as lands in cultivation or where supplemental feeding for wildlife is common practice, reproduction rates can be higher than average (31).

(Heather Stearling, TPWD) 3ECOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT OF WILD PIGS DIET Wild pigs are omnivores, generally categorized as opportunistic feeders, and typically consume between 3% and 5% of their total body mass daily (32). They exhibit a generalist diet consuming a variety of food sources which allows them to thrive across a wide range of environments (1, 10, 33). Throughout their range their diet is mostly herbivorous, shifting seasonally and regionally among grasses, mast, shoots, roots, tubers, forbs, and cacti as resource availability changes (4, 30, 34). When available, wild pigs will select for agricultural crops, often making up over 50% of the vegetative portion of their diets and causing significant damage to agricultural fields (35, 36). Invertebrates are often consumed while foraging for vegetation throughout the year including insects, annelids, crustaceans, gastropods, and nematodes (37). Studies have shown that, in some cases, invertebrates are highly selected for and seasonally make up over 50% of wild pig diets (38, 39). Wild pigs will also consume tissues of vertebrate species through scavenging and direct predation (37, 40, 41). Studies have documented intentional predation of various vertebrate species by wild pigs including juvenile domestic livestock, white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) fawns, ground nesting bird nests (Galliform sp.), and various species of reptiles and amphibians (41-43, 97, 98). DAMAGE Wild pigs have been listed as one of the top 100 worst exotic invasive species in the world (44). In 2007, researchers estimated that each wild pig carried an associated (damage plus control) cost of $300 per year, and at an estimated 5 million wild pigs in the population at the time, Americans spent over $1.5 billion annually in damages and control costs (45). Assuming that the cost-per-wild pig estimate has remained constant, the annual costs associated with wild pigs in the United States are likely closer to $2.1 billion today (10, 11, 45). Most damage caused by wild pigs is through either rooting or the direct consumption of plant and animal materials (5). Rooting is the mechanism by which wild pigs unearth roots, tubers, fungi, and burrowing animals (5, 46). They use their snouts to dig into the ground and turn over soil in search of food resources, altering the normal chemistry associated with nutrient cycling within the soil. Further, the mixing of soil horizons that often accompanies rooting by wild pigs has also been shown to alter vegetative communities, allowing for the establishment and spread of invasive plant species (33). It has been estimated that a single wild pig can significantly disturb approximately 6.5 ft2 in just one minute (47). This large-scale soil disturbance can increase soil erosion rates and have detrimental effects to sensitive ecological areas and critical habitats for species of concern (41, 48, 49). When wild pigs root or wallow in wetland or riparian areas, Damage to soil and vegetation caused by wild pig rooting. (TPWD) 4 ECOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT OF WILD PIGS it tends to increase the nutrient concentra- tion and total suspended solids in nearby waters due to erosion (48, 50). Wild pigs also directly contribute fecal coliforms into water sources, increase sedimentation and turbidity, alter pH levels, and reduce oxygen levels (51, 52). Such activities lead to an overall reduction in water quality and degradation of aquatic habitats. Impacts from wild pigs are positively correlated with population density and vary in severity among ecosystems. Native habitat degrada- tion as well as loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services caused by wild pigs are difficult to quantify and impossible to fully assign monetary value. However, monetizing such damage would undoubtedly increase the estimated costs associated with the species (35). Economically, wild pigs have the greatest impact on the agricultural industry in the United States (2). In 2005, researchers estimated that in a single night, one wild pig can cause at least $1,000 in damages to agriculture (53). In Texas, a 2006 publication reported that wild pigs caused approximately $52 million in agricultural damage annually (54). More recent studies published in 2016 and 2019 estimate that the annual loss to agriculture in Texas is approximately $118.8 million (95, 96). Impacts to crops are not limited to direct consumption. Trampling of standing crops and damage to soil from rooting and wallowing activities account for 90-95% of crop damage, in some cases (55). Standing crops are not the only form of agriculture damaged by wild pigs. Wild pigs also cause damage to hay fields, orchards, farming equipment, and fences. The human population of the United States is rapidly growing, and the majority of that population lives in urban areas. In general, the resulting expansion of urban sprawl has increased human-wildlife interactions (62). That trend along with the recent population growth and range expansion of wild pigs has resulted in an increase in damage to private property and common recreational areas (5). Wild pigs often seek out food and water in residential areas during times of drought which leads to damage of landscaping, fencing, and irrigation systems in residential areas as well as communal areas such as golf courses and parks (5, 63, 64). In addition, wild pig-vehicle collisions can result in Wild pig wallowing in a pond. (John C. Kinsey, TPWD) Damage to agricultural crops caused by wild pigs. (Bethany Friesenhahn, Research Specialist at Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute) 5ECOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT OF WILD PIGS significant property damage as well as human injury and death (56). Researchers conservatively estimated damages associated with wild pig-vehicle collisions to be $36 million annually in the United States alone (67). Because projections show rapid expansion of both human and wild pig populations the frequency of wild pig-vehicle collisions will likely increase, as well (65). Not only do wild pigs physically damage natural resources and agricultural crops, personal property, and equipment, they also have a high potential to transmit various diseases to domestic livestock (56). DISEASE Wild pigs are capable of carrying and transmitting at least 30 bacterial, fungal, and viral diseases which threaten humans, livestock, and wildlife (7, 57). Some of those which can infect humans are brucellosis, leptospirosis, toxoplasmosis, and trichinosis (58). Though disease transmission to humans is a real concern, the largest threat from wild pig diseases is the potential transmission to domestic livestock. Diseases such as swine brucellosis, pseudorabies, classic swine fever, and African swine fever can result in birth defects and death of various livestock and wildlife species (7). Diseases such as classic swine fever and foot and mouth disease have been eradicated from the United States pork industry and are considered foreign-animal diseases. Wild pigs, however, have the potential to act as a reservoir for these diseases making it difficult or impossible to eradicate them again in areas with infected wild pig populations (59). A scenario where one of these diseases is reintroduced could cause crippling damage to the United States agricultural industry (7, 60). One extreme scenario is the reemergence of foot and mouth disease in the United States. If this disease were to be reintroduced to the domestic livestock industry, it could cause up to $21 billion in loss of agricultural income and a portion of small farmers to lose their farms (61).

Lethal control measures are currently the only effective means of reducing wild pig populations. There are multiple lethal control techniques currently available to land managers and owners in the United States (56). However, no single method approaches the scale necessary to have a significant, long-term effect on wild pig populations across large tracts of land, and most certainly not at a national scale (68). The most popular methods of lethal control currently legal in the United States are trapping and dispatching, ground shooting, and aerial gunning. Trapping Dispatching after trapping is the most popular method of lethal control for wild pigs (69). There are a wide range of trap designs for wild pigs, but they generally fall under two categories; box traps and corral traps. Box traps vary in design, but are typically enclosed traps that are designed to be easily transportable and set up by one person. These types of traps are most effective when used to target small groups or single animals that frequently cause property damage. The small box traps facilitate transportation from one trap site to another, but limit the number of animals that can be caught at 6 ECOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT OF WILD PIGS one time. If used to target large sounders, those that are not successfully trapped may develop learned behavior which makes them more difficult to trap in the future (68). Corral traps are typically much larger semi-permanent structures, though there are several portable corral traps commercially available. These traps allow for more animals to be caught at one time which more effectively reduces populations and increases the cost efficacy of trapping. Studies have found that corral traps provided a capture rate greater than four times that of individual box traps (68). Cost associ- ated with corral trapping have been shown to vary greatly, ranging from $14.32 to $121 per pig. After the initial purchase of either pre-constructed trap or trap building materials, the main contributor to the high costs associated with this method is the time it takes to set up and monitor corral traps (68). Researchers have found that the use of corral traps resulted in the removal of 0.20 and 0.43 wild pigs per man-hour, respectively (70, 71). This equates to approximately 2-5 hours of work per each wild pig removed. Efficacy of trapping whole sounders has increased with recent advances in remote camera technology. These motion activated cameras can be used to monitor wild pig activity at trap sites with still photographs or short videos. The most recent advancement in remote camera technology allows real-time monitoring of wild pig activity on your phone, tablet, or computer using cellular data. Understanding wild pig behavior at a trap site allows trappers to make more educated decisions on when to set the trap trigger so that the number of wild pigs caught is maximized. In addition, the same cellular technology that allows for real-time camera monitoring has facilitated the advent of remotely triggered trap gates. This allows for trappers to monitor wild pig activity on a personal device in real time and trigger the trap gate remotely from the same device once the entire sounder has entered the trap. Though trapping is one of the most effective means of large-scale population reduction currently available in the United States, its impacts are often limited by the inability to deploy traps in remote areas difficult to reach by vehicle or boat (68, 72).

Kinsey, TPWD) 7ECOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT OF WILD PIGS Aerial Gunning Shooting wild pigs while flying in fixed wing or rotary aircrafts is often referred to as aerial gunning. Aerial gunning is a highly effective means of quickly reducing wild pig populations in areas with large expanses of sparse canopy cover and high densities of wild pigs (5, 73, 74). As visibility and population density decrease, however, so does the efficacy of this method in both cost and reduction of populations (56, 74, 75). Thus, this method is most effective in areas with sparse tree canopy and high wild pig densities. There is also some debate as to whether or not this method alters behavior in wild pig populations causing them to increase home ranges and learn to avoid aircraft, making them more difficult to find via helicopter (74, 76, 77). In private-land states like Texas, gaining permission and sufficient acreage from contiguous landowners can be a challenge. Similarly, the high costs associated with aircraft rental and pilots may not be feasible for some. However, where tree canopy allows, aerial gunning can be the most effective means of rapid wild pig population reduction available (56, 72). For more information on aerial gunning, please follow the links below: Costs and effectiveness of damage management of an overabundant species (Sus scrofa) using aerial gunning: https://www.aphis.usda.gov/wildlife_damage/nwrc/publications/18pubs/rep2018-164.pdf TPWD Permitting: https://tpwd.texas.gov/business/permits/land/wildlife_management/aerial_wl_management/ TPWD Q&A: https://tpwd.texas.gov/publications/nonpwdpubs/feral_hog_aerial/feral_hog_hunting_ from_a_helicopter_faq.pdf GROUND SHOOTING Ground shooting encompasses several methods, but the most commonly used methods in the United States are running trained tracking dogs, night shooting, and recreational hunting. Tracking Dogs The success of removing wild pigs using tracking dogs is dependent on the skill of both the hunter and the dogs being used. One study indicated that dogs could only catch 4 pigs per day before getting too tired to hunt (78). They also noted that catch success declined as sounder size increased. Thus, hunting wild pigs with dogs is not an effective means of large-scale population reduction. However, the use of highly skilled dogs may be necessary to remove wild pigs which avoid other control techniques as trained dogs can track individuals through dense vegetation and across rugged terrain (5, 72). Night Shooting Wild pigs are generally active at dusk and dawn, but human activity and climatic conditions may cause them to exhibit nocturnal feeding behaviors across portions of their range. In these areas it may be most efficient for hunters to shoot pigs at night under the cover of darkness. Night vision optics and the recent increase in use of sound suppressed rifles has greatly enhanced the success of this method (5). Using this type of equipment allows individuals to remove large portions of wild pig populations, whole sounders in some cases, at one time in large open terrain. Night shooting is 8 ECOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT OF WILD PIGS highly effective in agricultural fields, but its efficacy also declines as vegetation density increases and wild pig density decreases (56). The best prescription for this method of population reduction is likely in agricultural areas reporting high levels of damage from wild pigs, in conjunction with other large-scale population control methods. Recreational Hunting Recreational hunting of wild pigs is common in the United States (56). In fact, wild pigs are considered a desirable species in some of these states for both “trophy” and meat (79). Recreational hunting can occur in the form of stalking or hunting over baited areas, and as with the other forms of control, has the limited potential be effective in reducing localized populations of wild pigs in areas of high density (5, 56). Increased human activity associated with control measures can influence the behavior of wild pigs and recreational hunting has been shown to increase the dispersal of wild pig populations. In addition, selective harvest of only large males as “trophy” animals can also be counterproductive in population reduction efforts. Removal of females and juveniles have the greatest impact on lowering production of the population, thus, choosing not to harvest that portion of the population in favor of males is much less effective than indiscriminate harvesting across all sex and age classes (80). Some states which historically did not allow recreational hunting of wild pigs have established statewide hunting programs in an effort to solicit assistance from the public in controlling wild pig populations. Even though the intentions were good, these statewide hunting programs have some- times resulted in population increases and rapid range expansions (15, 83, 84). Popularity of wild pigs as a game species coupled with economic incentives generated by trophy hunting industries has resulted in the human-mediated transportation of wild pigs (illegal in Texas) to areas previously not populated by wild pigs (84-86). For example, Tennessee implemented a statewide hunting program in 1999, and by 2011 wild pig populations expanded from 6 to 70 counties (84). Similarly, in 1956 when wild pigs were designated a game animal in California, their range was limited to just a few coastal counties. By 1999, however, they had spread to 56 of the state’s 58 counties (83, 85). One scientific Wild pigs congregated at supplemental feed. (John C. Kinsey, TPWD) 9ECOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT OF WILD PIGS study also stated that the financial incentives associated with the wild pig hunting industry directly led to the intentional transportation and release of wild pigs on private properties, and that anyone who argues that hunting wild pigs is an effective means of reducing their population is ignoring the power of such incentives to private landowners (83). BOUNTY PROGRAMS To overcome the challenges of selective harvest by recreational hunters, some local governments have implemented bounty programs to incentivize hunters in an effort to increase hunting pressure in certain areas. These efforts are often futile and have failed to increase hunting pressure significantly. Further, some studies have shown that bounty programs actually result in an increase in wild pig populations due to the use of supplemental feed as bait and selective “trophy” hunting (80, 81). In addition, these programs often incentivize fraud or farming for bounties. Bounty programs are typically implemented at the county level and provide fiscal rewards for the harvest of animals within county boundaries. When the fiscal reward is perceived to outweigh the risk of punishment, unscrupulous people will turn in animals harvested outside those county boundaries as part of the bounty program. This type of fraud can greatly reduce the already low cost efficacy of bounty programs (80, 82). In addition, when there is an economic incentive to harbor an invasive exotic species for future gain, it may become increasingly difficult to remove that species. If an individual can economically profit from the harvest of wild pigs, there is an incentive to leave portions of the population on the landscape and in some cases, raise them for future profit (82). CLOSING Wild pig populations in the United States cause irreversible ecological damage and have an enormous economic impact. The extent of these economic damages are highly correlated with population size and density (14, 45). Population models indicate that the wild pig population size and range will continue to grow if left unchecked; thus, damages from wild pigs will also increase (11, 12, 14). It is estimated that annual population control efforts would need to continuously achieve 66-70% popula- tion reduction just to hold the wild pig population at its current level (14, 28). Estimates from Texas indicate that with current control methods, however, annual population reduction only reaches approximately 29% (14). The need for novel methods of wild pig population control is obvious.
