Feral hog trapping at Riverwoods Park

Summary

Staff are bidding out nuisance wildlife trapping this week for hogs damaging Riverwoods Park and nearby Alafaya Woods yards. A bid with at least two responses closes Thursday; the mayor floated donating trapped hog meat for a community barbecue, which councilmembers flagged as a health-risk liability the city shouldn't touch.
