The City of Batavia Interim City Manager and Police Chief will move forward to assess the draft City of Batavia Deer Management Plan and will make recommendations to the City Council in the near future regarding how the City could move forward to evaluate and reduce the deer population in the City of Batavia.
The Interim Manager and Police Chief will look to review the plan amidst the current COVID-19 circumstances, City liability considerations, and best practices as put forth by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC).
“The plan is a great start and we do not want to lose site of the City’s goals to evaluate and manage the deer population that is problematic to resident’s vegetation and quality of life,” said John Canale, City Council Member, 3rd Ward and liaison to the Deer Management Committee.
“The City of Batavia would like to thank the members of the City of Batavia Deer Committee for their work.”
