During the meeting’s public‑comment period and during several agenda items, dozens of residents urged the board to restore remote webinar speaking for the public, questioned the handling of library materials for minors, and pressed the board on election vendor transparency.

Several participants said the county allows only in‑person public comment for most items while board members use webinar tools, which they called unequal access that disproportionately affects disabled or distant residents. "When the board approves budget priorities for flood control, you're not just approving numbers, you're determining how this county prepares for emergencies," said Jamie Martin, who urged more transparent public processes and corrective‑action structures.

Concerns about library materials were widespread. Multiple speakers cited instances of sexually explicit passages in books labeled in the teen or juvenile sections and asked whether the county would fund relabeling or expand parental controls. County Manager Jennifer Pokorski told the board that juvenile explicit books have been moved into adult sections where applicable and that a parental‑choice opt‑out program expanded from a pilot to all libraries.

Other commenters sought clarity about election vendors. Mary Ziola and others asked whether Liberty Vote is a rebrand of Dominion Voting Systems and whether software or staff remained the same; they requested documentation and assurances about secure code and access controls. The board did not take immediate action on vendor contracts during the meeting but public records and contract processes are an ongoing area of scrutiny.

Board members acknowledged the public's concerns and encouraged follow‑up with staff. Some supervisors expressed frustration with state mandates and noted the board lacks authority in certain areas, while others promised continued engagement and oversight consistent with county procedures.
