COEUR d'ALENE - Coeur d'Alene City Councilman Woody McEvers will seek a fourth term on the council.
McEvers, first elected in 2001, holds seat 4.
Since joining the council, McEvers has seen a number of projects take shape in Coeur d'Alene, including the construction of the Coeur d'Alene Public Library, the Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community Center and the development of the education corridor.
He was also instrumental in voting to move forward with the McEuen Park reconstruction project, and is the only incumbent up for election who declared he will run.
McEvers has also been active in other city projects, such as expanding CDA TV, the channel that broadcasts city governmental meetings. He spearheaded the construction of the city's BMX park, which was built on donations and volunteer time.
The owner of Rustlers Roost in Hayden, McEvers moved to Coeur d'Alene in 1977.
He said this week that he will be his own treasurer.
The official filing period for declaration of candidacy for city elections is from Aug. 26 to Sept. 6. Three council seats and the mayor's seat are up for election. Kiki Miller, seeking seat 6, and Amy Evans, seeking seat 2, have also declared they will run for city council.
