During public comment Rose Nyman asked where funds raised by the Friends of the Library are being held; County Attorney Morgan Smith said she would check with county finance and report back.

During the public-comment period at the May 5 meeting, resident Rose Nyman asked commissioners where funds raised by the Friends of the Library are being kept, contrasting current practice with past projects where donations and invoices went through claims.

"Where are they keeping their funds?" Nyman asked. County Attorney Morgan Smith said she did not have an answer immediately and offered to consult with county finance officer Eric Hoiland to determine how the funds are being managed and to report back. John Sholey, a member of the public, said he had not heard of the group.

The commission did not take immediate action on the question; the county attorney said she would follow up with staff to clarify the handling of nonprofit funds associated with county projects.
