Committee member proposes consulting White Buffalo on Saddle River deer management

A committee member said the group should consult White Buffalo, which the speaker described as having "credible programs in the country for deer management," and suggested forming a committee to explore deer-management options for Saddle River and surrounding areas.

The comment came as a report out of a closed session. "We thought it was a good idea to perhaps form a committee to have consultation with White Buffalo and see what options they have for Saddle River and the surrounding areas," the committee member said. The proposal was described but not moved as a formal action during the meeting.

Following the report, participants indicated there were no further items to report. The presiding officer then asked for a motion to adjourn; a participant moved, another seconded, and the chair called for a voice vote. The motion to adjourn carried by voice; no individual votes were recorded.

Clarifying details about the proposed committee — including who would serve on it, how it would be funded, and any timeline for consultation with White Buffalo — were not specified in the meeting record.
