The free spay and neuter clinic will both help reduce the large number of feral dogs and cats on the island as well as provide families with an incentive to help keep pet overpopulation in control. In the past, families often let their pets breed because the cost of having them fixed was prohibitive. Due to an alarming increase in drownings, three new lifeguards will be added. This money will help fund programs for the elderly. The mayor schedules regular meetings to discuss the county budget and get the community's input as to what items should be added to the next budget.
Meetings take place in the neighborhood centers and are announced in The Garden Island newspaper.
