Historic Preservation Commission
On July 28, 2026, the commission voted 3-0 to recommend designating the Boswood-Morris House as a Local Historic Landmark. The property is noted for its architectural integrity as an extended I-house and its association with prominent local citizens, according to the official minutes.
The commission also approved its agenda (3-0) and approved the August 6, 2025 minutes (3-0). The landmark recommendation will be presented to the Board of Commissioners at its August 17, 2026 meeting.
Senior Citizens Advisory Board
The Senior Citizens Advisory Board met July 28, 2026, and established a new visitor pass policy at the senior center, effective September 1, 2026. Under the policy, visits are limited to a maximum of 2 hours, 1 visit per guest, and 2 guests per senior per year.
The board also approved its meeting agenda and approved the April 28, 2026 minutes. Staff provided updates on senior center facilities and upcoming programming, according to the minutes.
