Mr. Hurt updated the committee on a countywide deer-management effort: Kent County agencies and Grand Valley State University will collect geocoded deer carcass and survey data starting this fall, share results via a Kent County website (target November), and run community surveys. He noted recent state rule changes extending certain seasons and expanding public-property hunting in select counties. Commissioners asked if the city could use existing ordinances to allow limited hunting on city-controlled property; staff agreed to research statutory and parks-department authorization and report .
