Last night the Deer Committee voted unanimously to approve its report to the Board of Aldermen. The final report with recommendations can be read here. Please note that the report is advisory only. BOA and Mayor will determine whether or not the City of Shelton will implement deer control.
Having accomplished its goal, the Deer Committee will be disbanded and all future meetings canceled.
The Committee wishes to thank everyone who participated in the process, including our guest speakers and members of the community who attended meetings and provided feedback.
The report is now in the hands of the Board of Aldermen.
