Several members of the public used the meeting’s public comment period to press the city on homelessness response, police interactions with unhoused residents, and the need for a local cybercrime response.

Olivia Fisher told commissioners she requested an update at the June 7 meeting on the city’s plan to “end homelessness” and said the public had been promised at least 55 housing units by June 1. She said she had found only 22 secured units in the action plan published the week of June 18 and raised concerns that outreach teams are not reaching unhoused residents because many lack phones. Fisher also said the city’s downtown resource center (“the deck”) was under‑staffed and had closed unexpectedly on weekends, leaving people with fewer options. She said the action plan itself notes racial disparities in services to Indigenous people and added that police harassment of unhoused people downtown is a problem.

Brian Brockner described ongoing cyberattacks on his devices and said the Fargo Police Department told him it lacked capacity to respond to the scale of cyber fraud; he asked the commission to consider funding or seeking grants to create a local cyber unit. “This is a crime that’s becoming more prevalent,” Brockner said, noting identity theft and camera‑system intrusions.

Ryan Netterville described repeated law enforcement and probation interactions that he characterized as harassment, including an incident he said involved probation officers and multiple officers at a probation office. He said he faces ongoing scrutiny related to a drawing he posted on social media and asked why police and probation treated him differently than other meeting attendees.

Commissioners did not take immediate action during the meeting; several commissioners and staff listening to comments said they would follow up with department staff and requested written details where appropriate.
