Cemetery Identification and Protection
A neighbor of the damaged historic cemetery asked the county to document family cemeteries in GIS and create safeguards so development never disturbs graves again. The county found gravestones were disturbed during development but damaged years earlier; a preservation discussion item is coming next meeting.

Feral cat management and trap-neuter-release
The county's animal ordinance is outdated, the shelter took in over 1,300 cats this year, and a resident has pushed for TNR-friendly rules. Staff will bring back an ordinance analysis and a model community cat program in October.
