The library's security push — cameras, staff training, walkie-talkies — cut police calls by 33% compared to pre-2020. It's asking for $15,000 more to add badge locks on staff doors that currently can't be secured.

Prairie Home Cemetery is seeing surging demand for natural burial — sales jumped from 18 in 2022 to about 50 by July 2026 — so it's budgeting to plat a new natural burial section. The cemetery gets just $88,661 in tax support, unchanged for over a decade.
