The fire department conducted 11 inspections and logged 26.5 hours on fire investigations. Chief Bullos highlighted the ongoing challenges with overtime, attributing it to staff shortages and increased vacation days during the summer months.

Additionally, the ordinance office reported 112 violations, primarily related to property maintenance issues, including overgrown grass and abandoned vehicles. Efforts are underway to address dilapidated buildings and improve community aesthetics.

The meeting also touched on media production efforts, with significant engagement on social media platforms, and preparations for compliance with upcoming live streaming laws.
