Troy City Council Considers $13,450 USDA Crow Control Contract
What happened
The Troy City Council considered a resolution seeking a contract with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for crow control services. The contract, which would be cost-reimbursed not to exceed $13,450, requires damage reduction and crow dispersal services. Mayor Carmella Mantello contacted the USDA after receiving calls regarding crow droppings from the prior operator of Uncle Sam Bowling.

Why it matters
The city council is actively reviewing the contract resolution to determine the scope of services needed to reduce the crow footprint. The resolution specifies that dispersal methods are conducted by wildlife biologists using techniques such as pyrotechnics, lasers, and spotlights.
The City council in Watervliet is seeking a $13,000 contract for crow control and questioning the Mayor's evidence regarding local complaints.
