COEUR d'ALENE - Time for a vote one way or the other.

The Coeur d'Alene City Council will consider whether to put the conceptual plan for the McEuen Field redesign project out to a public advisory vote at 6 tonight.

The agenda item, scheduled under old business, was requested by City Councilman Ron Edinger.

Edinger requested a handful of times in 2011 that the multi-million park proposal be put in the hands of the voters to gauge the public's support on the project before any of the proposed changes are put in.

It never received a second in 2011, so the council members never had to vote up or down on the idea.

New city council members Dan Gookin and Steve Adams, who earned their seats after the November election, have said they plan to second Edinger's motion this time around, so that should change tonight.

The meeting is in the Community Room of the Coeur d'Alene Public Library, 702 E. Front Ave.
