Trustee asks Rothschild staff to consult DNR on deer-control options
Summary
Trustee Deb Ehster asked the administrator to contact the DNR and other municipalities about options to control the village’s white-tailed deer population; the board authorized outreach and requested a report back.
Trustee Deb Ehster raised concerns about white-tailed deer damaging landscaping and vegetation in the village and asked the board to consider population-control options.
Administrator Ryan VanDeWalle said he spoke with Police Chief Hunt, who indicated vehicle-vs.-deer accidents in the village are minimal. The board voted unanimously (Ehster/Helgeson) to allow the administrator to consult the DNR (Department of Natural Resources) and other municipalities and return with recommendations and options for the board to consider.
No specific control method was adopted; the board’s action authorized research and outreach to inform a future decision.
