Summary

A member of the public said agenda packet links failed for several devices and urged the council to engage with Timberland Regional Library (TRL) about budget cuts, suggesting a new building rather than funding the current library.

During public comment a resident reported technical difficulties accessing the meeting packet—saying the packet links “did not work on 2 computers and 1 phone”—and urged council follow‑up on Timberland Regional Library (TRL) budget cuts.

The commenter recommended the city consider a new library building rather than investing in the existing facility if TRL funding and staffing have been reduced. Council acknowledged the comment and noted follow‑up with TRL was appropriate.
