- The Board of Health is meeting to decide whether to revise the dog-leash law in parks. Currently, the Juniper Park Civic Association is trying to get rid of off-leash hours, by pointing out to a judge that the city's health code says all dogs must be on a leash.

The Board of Education is investigating whether or not Matson should repay the school for the fake sick days and they are "seeking her termination."
