Resolution 10-03

This is a City of Bloomington-Monroe County resolution creating a citizen-based Deer Task Force. The resolution is sponsored by Councilmembers Dave Rollo and Andy Ruff of the Bloomington Common Council and Monroe County Commissioner Iris Kiesling. The legislation acknowledges that some in the community have called upon City and County governments to address the issue of deer in urban areas. As the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) has jurisdiction over the management of deer, this resolution calls for the Task Force to work closely with the IDNR in exploring options. The Task Force will engage in public education and will draft advisory recommendations for review by IDNR and local government. The group shall sunset once it issues its recommendations
