To help address the growing population of deer and the impact they have on yards and traffic, the City Council in 2016 enacted a no deer feeding ordinance. Doing so Council believed it would aid the enjoyment and interaction with our four-legged friends in several ways as it would:
- Reduce the frequency of vehicle collisions and damage to landscaping by avoiding large congregations of deer near residences
- Reduce an unhealthy dependence of deer on “handouts” that could link to artificial unhealthy increases in deer population
- Reduce the potential for parasites and infections caused by concentration of deer droppings
