Janet Heath informed the council that the Woodbine Public Library had donated books to the Camden County Jail.
Andrew Heath raised multiple maintenance and safety issues on the Riverwalk and nature trail: nails popping up on many boards, a need for more frequent tree trimming, more regular trash pickup, and potential barriers to deter ATVs from using the trail.
