Library fees, Resolution 26-02 (public hearing)
Continued · 5-0
Library Director Michael Sauers said about 140 non-resident household cards were sold last year, with revenue of about $18,000, and the Library Board proposed lowering the fee from $163 to $125. Council Member Simmonds feared a cut could hurt service to residents and preferred waiting for the county's decision on its library. Council Member Lee-Koven was torn between access and being a good neighbor. Chair Johnson worried a change could be the final blow to the county library. Council Member Dahle favored postponing. Library board members Kelsei Fittner and Christopher Scheer favored a lower fee; board member David Welch favored raising it to $135 to match the resident household fee. The council voted to continue the item to August 18, 2026, without a new hearing.
