Hollywood Park deer committee approves minutes, year-end financials and votes not to remove deer for TTP

The Hollywood Park Deer Committee approved the minutes from its previous meeting, accepted year-end financial reports and passed a motion to take no deer for the city’s TTP program this year.

The committee reviewed the year-end financial summary, which listed a $173.25 expenditure for yard signs, $493 for chronic-waste (CWD) testing, $1,000 for deer processing and the committee remaining under budget by $3,810. Committee member Debbie Truman moved to accept the financials; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.

The committee also approved the minutes from the prior meeting and accepted the basic walllight/spotlight report that had not been voted on earlier in the meeting. Debbie Truman moved to approve the minutes “as written,” and the motion was seconded by Tony Cortez; the motion carried on a voice vote. The walllight basic report was moved for approval by Debbie Truman and seconded by Tonya Cummings and was approved by voice vote.

On deer-removal policy, Debbie Truman made the formal motion, “I will move that we take no deer out for TTP this year,” which Jason Dennis seconded; the committee voted in favor and the motion passed.

For scheduling, the committee set its next regular meeting for Jan. 13 at 5:30 p.m.; Debbie Truman moved to schedule that date, the motion was seconded, and the motion carried.

The committee did not provide a roll-call vote tally in the record; approvals were recorded by voice votes or unanimous “ayes.”
