The hotly debated No Deer Feeding Ordinance was passed unanimously by the Granite Shoals City Council Tuesday night, July 12.
The ordinance imposes sanctions on feeding deer that begin with warnings, followed by fines that progress from $50 upward.
“When I started this (work toward a ban on feeding deer), I couldn't even get it on the council agenda, because it is such a difficult subject,” said former City Council Member Slayton Marks.
