Short BOCC meeting likely this week

I’ve spent most of my life in northeastern Washington and graduated from Eastern Washington University in 2021. After that, I spent roughly two years working for a small online newspaper in North Seattle before realizing big city living wasn’t for me. Me and my pup, Kodak, headed east, where we eventually landed in Sandpoint. When I’m not writing, you can find me spending time exercising and taking photos. I ran two half marathons in high school and after spending the past few years recovering from various injuries, I’m hoping to complete my first full marathon by the end of the year. I also love any outdoor activity, none of which would be complete without my dog. Kodak and I love going for walks and hikes, and I can’t wait to try to convince him to get in my kayak and spend the hot months of the year on Lake Pend Oreille. While he’s not a fan of baths, he sure does love chasing the ducks. | August 20, 2023 1:00 AM
SANDPOINT — No commissioner items have been placed on the Bonner County commissioners Tuesday meeting agenda, resulting in a hopefully speedy meeting.
Aside from the consent agenda, the commissioners are set to hear from a number of county departments regarding monetary requests and contract renewals. The Solid Waste department will also talk to the commissioners about scrap metal, wood-grinding waste and household hazardous waste disposal bid advertisements.
A representative from the airport is also expected to come before the commissioners to discuss an amendment to the aviation legal counsel engagement.
The meeting is expected to end with two executive sessions: One for human resource topics and the other for risk management. Executive sessions are closed to the public to give officials a chance to discuss confidential information; however, all decisions must be made in open session.
Board of Bonner County Commission meetings are held at the Bonner County Administration building, 1500 U.S. 2; and also are live streamed via YouTube. To access the streams, visit the Bonner County YouTube page at bit.ly/3NElj9X.
