He also provided an update <br /> on the topic of illegal farm parties, which was originally mentioned during the April Board <br /> meeting. Mr. Bagby stated that there was a collaborative meeting including OCEMS, the <br /> Department of Aging, and law enforcement to discuss these parties occurring in OC. Some of <br /> these parties are starting to move to neighboring counties. The landowners are paid, <br /> sometimes erroneously told that the parties are for charity and that their ending time is much <br /> earlier than they are. There have been cases of aiding and abetting underage drinking. <br /> Education of property owners is key.
