The update came during the commissioners’ June 9 session, where officials noted that the gathering is intended to open a more structured dialogue on shared concerns.
The commissioners said the meeting will focus on strengthening communication channels and addressing issues that affect both Amish residents and county departments. Road safety was mentioned as a key topic, reflecting ongoing conversations about traffic patterns, horse‑drawn vehicle visibility, and general coordination on rural roads.
While the transcript did not include additional details about the meeting’s format or participants, commissioners described it as the first organized effort of its kind. They noted that the session is meant to build a cooperative relationship and ensure that Amish residents have a clear avenue to share concerns directly with county leadership.
