SANDPOINT — The members of Sandpoint Eagles Auxiliary decided Thursday that their preference is for the Ten Commandments monument to stay in Farmin Park.

The order required less than a half-hour’s time to arrive at the unanimous decision following discussion over the monument’s placement on public property. Members based their preference around the monument’s inclusion of several different religious symbols — not all of them connected to Christianity — and its 40-year history in the downtown Sandpoint park.
