During the public hearing on updates to the Clark County Stormwater Code and Manual, commenters questioned the inclusion of light rail regulations and criticized the county's public outreach efforts. In the open public comment period, residents overwhelmingly opposed the joint appointment of Richard Mayhart to the Fort Vancouver Regional Library Board of Trustees, citing his past statements on library funding, equity, and potential censorship. Additionally, other citizens utilized the public comment period to criticize the Interstate Bridge Replacement project, specifically advocating against the light rail expansion in favor of additional auxiliary vehicle lanes.
