Residents ask for children’s cabinet, trafficking resources and question foundation‑repair ordinance

During public comment, a longtime resident urged the board to form a children’s cabinet to coordinate supports for infants and families; a Safe House Project leader offered county anti‑trafficking resources and events; and an Occoquan District resident criticized a December ordinance creating a countywide foundation repair fund, saying his survey showed strong opposition.
