Farris says he'll check with the Sheriff's office about parking, particularly on the south shore near Lakeside Park, with people parking their vehicles on the sides of the highway, where they're not supposed to park.

Farris also says some strides have been made in billing for building permits:



Farris mentioned that permit applications have decreased, something that's expected with the higher interest rates and construction costs. The good news, he says, is that sales tax revenues are up.
