The department has removed this agenda item from the April 17 agenda.  It is expected that this item will be brought back for consideration at a later meeting.  We apologize for any inconvenience.  Public comments received to this point will be saved and added to the next public comment period when the topic returns.

 

Note:

The commission may take action on all matters specifically noticed on any agenda.

Extensive opportunity is provided for public comment on hunting, fishing and trapping regulations. As a matter of equity for citizens who cannot attend commission meetings, when making final decisions on these regulations, the commission will not open public comment unless a significant amendment to the tentative proposal is brought forth by the commission or department. Comments will be limited to the amendment only.  Time for comment may be limited at the Chair's discretion.
