At the Jan. 7 Monroe County commissioners meeting, a representative identified as Dr. Toledo, speaking for the Community Partnership for Gun Safety, announced a free gun-safety event on Saturday, Jan. 17, from 10 a.m. to noon at the Monroe County 911 center. The speaker said the event is limited to 50 participants, registration is available at gunsafetymonroepa.org, and attendees will receive gun-locks and entry into a raffle for a biometric gun safe.

In public comment, a downtown business owner raised long-standing parking shortages and asked whether the county lot across from a local restaurant could be used as interim parking. County staff explained engineers are evaluating the site because previous building demolition left voids under the lot; the borough had asked for ownership but county officials said they are reluctant to transfer the lot because of potential future courthouse expansion. Staff also said opening the courthouse parking garage on weekends has caused vandalism and security problems in the past and noted major deck repairs scheduled for the coming summer.

Resident Teresa Pesch said she obtained coroner records through a Right-to-Know appeal (referenced in the record as document AT2025-1819) covering 2019–2024 violent deaths and summarized age distributions she said were returned by the county coroner's office. Pesch stated that for 2024 there were "no suicides, no accidentals with firearms" among youth (under 19) in the records she received and cautioned against overstating youth firearm incidents; she cited a 2023 media report about an 8-year-old fatally shot with a BB gun in Monroe County noted in public sources. The county did not provide a detailed coroner response during the meeting. Commissioners did not take formal action on parking or coroner records during the session.
