Ann Arbor City Council is holding a special meeting to move forward with plans for a deer cull.
The city says they need to reduce the number of deer inside city parks and nature areas. To do that, they want to kill 100 and sterilize another 60.
The city council says the large deer population led to an increase in the number of car crashes and is hurting residential gardens, private landscaping and the biodiversity and sustainability of plants, animals and insects.
The deer cull and sterilization would start at the beginning of 2017.
Sixty-three deer were killed earlier this year in a cull that was opposed by some people and animal activists in Ann Arbor.
The city has already acknowledged the plans to reduce the deer population will not satisfy everyone, but they hope for more awareness and acceptance.
Hiring professional shooters will cost money, but they say they have budgeted for the cost.
The special session of city council will be held Monday at 7 p.m. inside the city hall council chambers at 301 E. Huron Street.
