Council hears downtown Wi‑Fi/QR portal update and resource center staffing announcement
Summary
Chair described a new downtown Wi‑Fi QR landing page to promote local businesses and events; the chair also announced that, in closed session, the board decided to hire Steven Bryan as executive director of the Resource Collaborative and noted ongoing food-distribution dates.
The chair described a new downtown Wi‑Fi initiative that will link to a QR-code landing page designed to promote restaurants, hours and local events. The chair said Benjamin Bluecaster created the QR code as part of marketing for K Springs and credited Kate Clover for helping get the page live; residents who scan the code will reach a portal showing downtown businesses and events. "This is the QR code ... that will go ... show the next 1, please," the chair said while describing the landing-page content and downtown Wi‑Fi access.
The chair also announced resource-center operations and personnel news. He said the resource center will be open on multiple days to distribute turkeys and hams to qualified residents and reported that the board decided in closed session to hire Steven Bryan as executive director of the Resource Collaborative. The chair described the broader goal of expanding the portal beyond the city to promote Siskiyou County tourism and local commerce. No formal motion on the QR portal was recorded; the announcements were informational.
