Hi, gang ‐
A few comments on this month's packet.
Great job on the summary of our study session with Council. I think it accurately captures the essence of the
Council discussion. (Thanks, Jen Bray.)
Great job on the letter to Council! The focus and tone are just right, IMO. One minor suggestion: add "address
aged infrastructure" to the list of reasons why we need those bathroom renovations. (Once a facility manger,
always a facility manager...)
Please convey my deep gratitude to Devin for his extraordinary work in both clarifying and simplifying the
formerly byzantine BPL budget. He is a wonder!
And congrats to the NoBo team for well‐deserved recognition from the peers!
Have fun on Wednesday ‐ I'll think about you while watching Hamilton. (Well, maybe not :>)
