Several members of the public addressed the board on April 14, urging attention to small but tangible community services and infrastructure.

Ryan Murillo of the Wahkiakum Chamber of Commerce said the signs for the ferry landing "have been delivered and they will work on installation details," and asked the county to coordinate installation. Residents Suzanne Holmes and Megan Blackburn Friend spoke in support of the county swimming pool and the Cathlamet public library; Holmes emphasized the services' importance given the county's older population and urged cooperative approaches to sustain them.

Dan Turner of the Cathlamet Library described library programs and services, and Holmes specifically urged the county to work cooperatively to create sustainable models for the pool and library.
