Overpopulation of Deer
Most people realize we have a serious deer problem in Berkeley Lake. Symptoms of the problem include the following:
- Overgrazing in greenspace
- Eating ornamental shrubs
- Fearlessness and aggressive behavior
City Council Meetings
City Council usually has a work session at 7pm before the Council Meeting at 8pm. It seems most of our citizens are unaware that the work session is open to the public. Current and historical agendas with supporting documents are on the City website under City Council and Historical Archives.
If you want to know what is going on, attend the work sessions because that is where council discusses any issues. The actual council meeting consists primarily of motions and unanimous voting.
