During public comment at the Nov. 5 City Council meeting, a resident identified in the transcript as Mr. Tasmith criticized city spending priorities and questioned purchases tied to police and fire projects.

Mr. Tasmith told the council the proposed spending for a police annex and related items was excessive and said certain line items could be reduced and redirected to street repairs. He referenced line-item amounts read in the meeting packet and described the proposed expenditures as "a disgusting amount of money." He also criticized city security arrangements at past meetings, alleging heavy-handed treatment of speakers, and told the council, "I'm gonna run against you if you run. Trust and believe that, and for the next 2 years, I'm gonna constantly come up here campaigning against you." The transcript records those comments as part of the public-comment period.

The remarks were not followed by a recorded council response or formal motion. As public comment, they represent individual views submitted on the record and do not constitute council action.

Ending: The transcript shows the council proceeded to routine business after public comment; there was no public staff response or apparent follow-up recorded in the meeting minutes to the criticisms presented.
