Library millage renewal passes with wide support, council thanks volunteers
Summary
Council members thanked residents and poll volunteers after the library millage renewal passed with over 80% of the vote; the library director expressed gratitude and promised careful stewardship of the funds.
Councilmembers thanked voters and poll volunteers after the city's library millage renewal passed with a reported ‘‘over 80%’’ yes vote, which one councilmember said looked, on a cursory review, like the highest passage percentage among state millages on that Tuesday.
Library Director Miss Francis thanked residents and volunteers, describing the level of support as "extraordinary" and saying the library would not take the result for granted: "The support we received was extraordinary, and we are incredibly grateful. ... We're gonna work hard, so we really appreciate it." Councilmembers also thanked election volunteers and clerk staff for smoothly handling a spoiled absentee ballot during the count.
No spending decisions were made at the meeting beyond ceremonial thanks; future budget or implementation steps were not detailed in this session.
