Summary

Syracuse Parks Commissioner Saisha Burke presented an annual agreement with Onondaga County to reimburse part of the city’s deer-management program for fiscal year 2024–25, naming a not-to-exceed amount of $59,400 and asking the council to approve the routine intergovernmental payment.

Saisha Burke, Syracuse’s commissioner of parks, asked the council to approve an annual agreement with Onondaga County to reimburse a portion of the city’s deer-management program for fiscal year 2024–25. Burke said the reimbursement amount is not to exceed $59,400.

The agreement is routine, Burke said, and intended to offset some of the costs the city incurs for the deer-management program. Council members asked no substantive questions during the presentation and proceeded to the next agenda item.

If approved, the payment would be applied to the city’s 2024–25 budget for parks operations. No vote on the item is recorded in the transcript excerpt provided; councilors treated the item as a standard annual administrative approval and moved on.
