Sequim staff report summer youth services, library programs and new cybersecurity steps
Summary
Youth liaison and library staff highlighted summer lunches, reading programs and childcare options; the city manager outlined forthcoming cybersecurity measures and thanked the police chief for assistance in a recent barricade incident.
Luthie, Sequim's youth liaison, told the council that Sequim schools released students on the 12th and that the Boys and Girls Club is offering free summer lunches to youth up to age 18; the local food bank is distributing weekend bags with sign-up details available on its website.
Malia Nelson, speaking for NOLS (North Olympic Library System), said the library has launched summer reading programs and additional community events for children, and she noted that the YMCA and the Boys and Girls Club are offering full summer childcare programs for families in need.
Matt, the city manager, described recent intergovernmental meetings and several administrative steps. He said the city recently met with Steve Thuringer and other state and county officials regarding what he described in the meeting as "floor acres," and that state officials expressed interest in Sequim's approach. Matt also said the city is developing a new cybersecurity plan: staff will receive an email about using 1Password, and the city has closed a contract with a vendor described in the meeting as "fish firewall" to deliver employee training on phishing and email security.
Matt thanked Police Chief Hillback for his assistance in a recent county incident involving a barricaded suspect; Matt said he was grateful that no one was injured.
These items were reports rather than formal council actions; no policy votes were taken on the summer programs or cybersecurity steps during the meeting.
