In the final meeting of the year the Committee held a discussion on urban deer management, featuring a presentation by Don Poppy from the Department of Natural Resources on deer population control strategies. The committee then deliberated and voted to recommend a bird-friendly building design ordinance to the city commission. The initiative aims to reduce bird collisions with buildings by addressing infrastructure needs and window replacements. Additionally, the committee conducted interviews with applicants interested in joining the committee, as two positions are available. The meeting also covered routine updates from various subcommittees, including waste management and air quality.
