Veteran Parking, Library Project Delay, and Lack of Sidewalk Discussed During Public Comment
During the public comment period, a resident requested the dedication of three veteran parking spaces in front of the new library, similar to those at the police station. The resident also asked to consider this for the new community center parking layout. The committee explained that the delay for the library parking was due to anticipated asphalt work.

The committee acknowledged this as a good idea and stated they would discuss it with the county as the roads appear to be county-maintained.
