Library Director Amy Long presented an illustrated handout and outlined staffing priorities and the rationale for a reduced request. After discussion of staffing, priorities and questions from commissioners, she reduced the library's requested budget to $1,625,000.00. Commissioner Mike Arzy moved to approve the library budget at that amount; the motion passed 4–1 (Arzy, Haswell, Siddle, Wright in favor; Jennings opposed).
