Ms. Dorothy Owen spoke under “Citizen Public Input” expressing gratitude for the Healthy Me Employee Clinic, which she can still use as a retiree. The clinic saves both her and the County money. She also thanked the Council for keeping the Community Access Technology (CAT) labs open. The CAT program is an excellent program and a lot of people use the labs. Since retiring, she has even taken a class. She asked that the Council keep the public informed about what is going on with the CAT labs because many people still think they
are closing, and she suggested the Council issue a request-for-proposal to get the community’s input.
