Regulation of Sober Living Homes
Fair Housing and disability laws currently block the county and cities from regulating sober living homes. The Mayor proposes asking state and federal lawmakers to change the law so local governments can set rules.
Flock License Plate Camera Use Policy
The Sheriff presented a resolution putting the Flock camera system's use into enforceable policy — hot-list checks only, 90-day data deletion, restricted access, and an annual report to commissioners. Commissioners probed privacy concerns and recent litigation questions before advancing it.
Ambulance Grant
Two 100% reimbursement grants — $16,339 from Homeland Security and $11,130 from the Fire Marshal's Office — will replace a search-and-rescue UTV and buy three sets of firefighter turnout gear at no cost to the county.
