Summary

Members reported lending libraries are full and discussed outstanding steps on a T‑Mobile grant application, including a needed letter of endorsement that may require updating after a change in city commission membership.

Members reported the youth lending libraries are well stocked and that backup books are available. The council reviewed next steps for a T‑Mobile grant and said one required letter of endorsement has not yet been returned by a potential supporter.

A member said the local chess club recently responded and can provide a letter of support; another noted that a prior letter of recommendation came through a city commission seat that has since changed and may need updating for the application. The clerk said there are a couple of outstanding items to finalize the grant entry and that staff can help with the process and required partners.

Members discussed a youth showcase and whether the city would provide booth infrastructure or whether partners would supply tables and displays; the clerk advised partners would likely supply their own tables but the city could help with electricity and space coordination.
