Committee hears about tick-borne illness concerns and that Dead Animal Removal program is defunct

During the ANR and budget discussion, Amy Prince flagged two program concerns. First, staff discussed tick-borne illness in cattle, raising it as an item for attention though the transcript records no diagnostic data or specific mitigation steps. Second, Prince stated that the Dead Animal Removal program "is dead," indicating the program is no longer operational; the meeting record did not provide reasons, funding details or an immediate plan to restore or replace the service.
