Council members used the liaison-report portion of the agenda to update the council and community on work by local nonprofits, agencies and town committees, and then debated whether those verbal reports should remain part of regular business meetings.

Reports included a recap of Trax trail work, museum display updates, Chamber of Commerce board elections and a new phone app, community center food distribution and Thanksgiving support, Humane Society facility upgrades, planning-and-zoning vacancies, and an upcoming grand opening for the Arizona Alpine Trail. Several council members said these liaison reports surface useful community activity and funding connections; others described the segment as sometimes veering into special-interest territory and suggested a more uniform selection process for which organizations receive liaison representation.

Members of the public addressed the council on the topic. DJ Westley praised liaison reporting as a sign of civic engagement. Leslie Wessel asked how nonprofits are selected for council liaisons and recommended written reports or posting updates to the town's "Talk of the Town" or Facebook page so citizens can access more information than a short verbal update.

Councilors proposed alternatives including distributing routine reports through the town's communication channels, placing select items on the manager's report, or bringing specific items back to the agenda when they require action. The mayor proposed a short work session before a regular meeting to develop criteria for selecting liaison reports and to streamline the process; council agreed to schedule that session.
