Whoa! Geese are federally protected migratory birds and may only be killed during hunting season, with a license. I'm not at all sure about the details but shooting them in city limits with an airgun probably does not qualify.
You could wind up with a federal rap.
Yeah, I know it's stupid. I had nothing to do with writing that law.

How about alligators? Then after they get all fat, you make purses out of them.

Use a .22 cal pellet gun with flat point ammo. Get a pump, so you can adjust the actual hitting power. Many pump mfg's will spec how many ft/sec per pump. I'd say get a pump capable of 800-1000 fp/sec and try to maintain 300-400 fp/sec for your shots.
BTW, geese are hard to kill. I don't know if these hits will send them away.

I've had a similar problem a few times..here's what we did...you have to aggravate, and scare, the birds enough that they want to leave....they view dogs as nuisances....get some old sheets..and a few of you hold and spread them out and run at the birds..with lots of yelling...it really scares them..the size and the rapid, fluttering movement....you may have to stay at it for two days, and nights.. or so..but if the birds can't settle down to graze..they'll seek new surroundings..

Put up a tall temporary fabric fence between your lawn and the water.

Scare Gators?
I don't know where you could find some, but if you make your pond "look" like a gator breeding ground, I bet they won't land.

Can some local lend you a more viscous (to geese that is) dog for the duration? Find their nests and pin prick the eggs to make them sterile. DO NOT LET THEM RAISE NEW GEESE THERE. For obvious reasons

They like to settle in areas where there is grass and an easy transition to water. If you block the access to the water with brush or perhaps some artificail barrier or temporary fence, they won't like the area as much.

IF the dogs don't work, I can't imagine beaning them with bbs would. Plus, I think you stand a good chance of injuring them.

I think that you should quietly (while nobody's looking, you could get into a lot of trouble for this) invite one or more of the geese inside for dinner...

Put something in the area that makes a sound like one of their predators.
