A public commenter told the meeting that they "haven't seen a ranger out there since ... the first of the year" and accused the "current administration" of having "fired everybody."
The comment was offered during the public-comment period and raised concerns about the absence of ranger patrols and who oversees the position. The speaker framed the issue as the result of broad staff cuts that have affected ranger presence.
"They fired everybody. Well, you know, this current administration, you got rid of all government workers," the public commenter said, later adding, "They continue that." The speaker then asked, "Is it a I thought it was a state," and immediately answered, "No, it's for service."
No officials or staff were identified in the transcript as responding to the comment, and no formal action or vote on the matter was recorded in these segments. The meeting transcript does not specify which agency or level of government is responsible for ranger staffing, nor does it include follow-up direction or a named official response.
