During the public‑comment portion of the May 23 meeting, a citizen (reported by tourism staff) said property owners on Airport Road and at the corner of Fairpop observed a mountain lion twice over the weekend and feared the animal may be pregnant. The caller named neighbors Jerry and Judy Lloyd as eyewitnesses and asked that county staff be informed.
Commissioners and staff urged prompt reporting to Tri County Health or the county tip line so appropriate wildlife or public‑safety resources can respond. A county staff member said, "Quicker is better," when asked how to get the right personnel involved.
No formal action was taken during the meeting; staff said they would follow up with the property owners and provide contact information for reporting future sightings.
