According to the meeting's agenda, the board will vote whether to renew the lease for one year, by either using the October 16 lease agreement or by entering a new one. The lease would be paid by the district.

This change comes after the board voted to close the library without much public input, and the community rallied to keep it open, raising money to offer the city to supplement its funding.
