The full story

Planning staff presented a community tool-lending program intended to support property repairs and community projects. Mister Hutchison described how the program would operate: "They will come in, sign a waiver. We'll get a copy of their driver's license, and then we could go out there and up load up and take the tools that they need." The tools would be stored on village property, tracked with asset tags, and loaned to village residents over 18.
