Resident urges council to listen, help people experiencing homelessness and back the library
Summary
Holly McDorman of Ward 6 told the council some residents feel unheard, asked councilmembers to engage voters before elections, urged care and support for people who are unhoused as temperatures drop, and expressed strong support for library funding.
During the public comment period, Holly McDorman of Ward 6 told councilmembers many constituents "don't feel listened to" and that some residents are afraid to speak at meetings because they believe it is a "waste of 3 minutes." She asked councilmembers facing re-election to reach out and speak directly with residents.
McDorman also urged the council to ensure people who are unhoused get help as weather turns colder and invited a councilmember (Mister Miller) to assist with meals or shelter. She closed by praising the public library and urging continued funding and community support.
