Deer Herd in Beachwood.
Tony Kleibecker, Public Safety Director, spoke to the DNR regarding deer herd in Beachwood

residents use the recommended spray, place plantings in the yard that are resistant to deer, and
erect fences around gardens.

Commissioner Carter asked that the information be placed on the city website.
