Summary

During public comment a resident said shots were being fired within roughly 250 feet of homes and asked the county to investigate; commissioners said staff would follow up and requested contact information for the complainant.

During the public‑comment portion a resident raised an ongoing safety concern about people shooting on or near private property close to residential homes.

The resident said the nearest shots were about "250 ft from my house," described concern about stray rounds striking people or pets, and said prior assurances that the problem was resolved did not reflect that the activity continued. The resident told commissioners the issue created a safety risk and asked for further investigation.

A commissioner acknowledged the complaint, said staff had been contacted previously and that they would check again, and asked the resident for contact information so county staff could follow up. The commission did not take a formal vote; staff said someone would contact the resident to investigate the matter and report back.

The exchange was limited to the public comment record and the commission’s commitment to follow up with county staff for investigation; no enforcement action was recorded on the meeting minutes.
