Public works recommends 2026–27 Cheltenham Deer Management agreement; representative confirms no hunting on Sundays
Summary
The committee recommended approving a 2026–2027 agreement with Cheltenham Deer Management; the group's representative confirmed Sundays remain closed to hunting and said a requested incident report was not produced under a Right‑to‑Know request.
Commissioner Dwight Pedro Lewis moved that the committee recommend the board approve the agreement with Cheltenham Deer Management for the 2026–2027 season. A representative identified in the meeting as Chris summarized changes made since the previous meeting and confirmed that Sunday hunting is not allowed under the agreement: "Sunday is off the yeah, that's there's no hunting on Sundays. We've we've never allowed it." The representative also said he had attempted to obtain an incident report from January 6 via a Right‑to‑Know request but had been unable to do so.
After brief clarifying questions from commissioners about the agreement text (including removing any wording that might imply Sunday hunting), the committee voted to recommend approval and the matter will go to the full board for final action.
