Council favors continuation of urban deer control program October 10, 2017, 11:31 amThe council appeared supportive of the city doing so. Councilman Brian Braithwaite said that this was a good program, but asked that the DWR provide a yearly report to city officials, something Mayor Mark Thompson agreed with. Councilman Tim Irwin asked whether Highland would now have to conform to new DWR rules and regulations that had been imposed since the city joined the program. Bates said she would follow up on that and get back to the council. Councilman Rod Mann presented numbers of deer killed on the road between 2011 and 2017 showing the number had decreased dramatically. He said he believed the program was worth maintaining. Bates will now work with the DWR to determine the process to continue the program. At the same meeting, the council approved a $39,757.54 contract with Sterling Don Excavation for reconstruction of the intersection of 11800 North and Highland Drive to allow children to safely cross Highland Boulevard to get to Ridgeline Elementary. The construction involves reconstructing the ADA ramps to bulb out into the asphalt shoulder. City officials say this will give the children less asphalt area to cross and will eliminate northbound traffic using the right shoulder as a turn lane. The plan was to complete the project before school began.
