Councilors express frustration over the ongoing conflict, attempts at&nbsp;mediation&nbsp;that were rejected by the trustees, and the&nbsp;mounting legal costs&nbsp;to the town, ultimately passing a motion to&nbsp;take no action&nbsp;on appointing alternates, hoping that voters will resolve the matter in an upcoming election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Town Council Refuses to Appoint Library Trustee Alternates\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QvMZuERYNPw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related Posts:<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/townunderground.com\/?p=11086\">Leach Library Staff Vote No Confidence in Trustees<\/a><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Town Council discussion on 10\/6\/2025&nbsp;regarding a highly contentious situation involving the&nbsp;Leech Library Board of Trustees, which is apparently experiencing internal chaos and facing a statement of no confidence.
