This week’s Toledo City Council meeting started with Ryan Goodenbour. The coordinator for Tama County Emergency Management gave a presentation to the council explaining what he does and all that his department is responsible for.

Next up was the Toledo Public Library, which recently had a central air conditioner quit. As the library is getting older, the council and library representatives discussed plans to plan for future repairs. Money will be transferred from the city to the library’s budget to cover the cost of the approximately $7,000 air conditioner.
