Post Falls City Council members will meet at 6 p.m. today at Post Falls City Hall.
On the agenda are construction improvement agreements for three "Retail Villages." Retail Village I, II and III are the results of three separate minor subdivisions for three larger undeveloped parcels on the northeast corner of Poleline Avenue and Highway 41.
"The construction improvement agreements lay out the agreement between the developer(s) and the city as to what infrastructure is to be constructed related to the subdivision and subsequent private development of the site," Community Development Director Bob Seale said Friday.
He said the water, wastewater, road and other public improvements are addressed in the construction improvement agreements and associated plans.
Construction of the infrastructure is expected to begin soon, Seale said.
"In addition to the construction improvement agreements, we also have a pending site plan application for Grocery Outlet on one or more of the proposed parcels," Seale said.
Also on the agenda are the reappointment of Colin Coles and Christi Fleischman to the Post Falls Urban Renewal Agency; action regarding the Adams Annexation property south of 16th Avenue and east of Idaho Street; and new business regarding an award for the Water Reclamation Facility harmonic filter replacement at the recommendation of Post Falls Public Works projects manager Jaxon Fleshman.
Post Falls City Hall is at 408 N. Spokane St.

Lake City High Principal Deanne Clifford reflects on 30 years in education
In a 30-year career filled with profound joy, sadness, challenges and successes, Deanne Clifford pinpointed one moment that outshined the rest: 2011 graduation. She was sitting on the stage before the begowned graduates preparing for her next emcee task when the valedictorian, Mark Smyly, asked her up to the lectern to present her with gift. “This plaque right here is the epitome of just what a first-year principal would want,” Clifford said May 9 during an interview in her office, taking down a gleaming plaque from her wall. The plaque is engraved with the appreciation the Class of 2011 felt for their principal for her leadership, expertise and dedication in making their school so successful. "I was in awe of the room, in awe of the students," she said. "We had prepared so much for graduation, and I was just overwhelmed with emotion. And then to be celebrated, it was the epitome of my career. And I’ve had some incredible moments. This was something that I’ll never, never forget."

Athol Elementary, Timberlake High time capsule unearthed after 25 years
The suspense was palpable as people excitedly peered into the small pit Mikie Cutler was excavating on the Timberlake High School front lawn Monday afternoon. Through soil, rocks and thick tree roots, Cutler dug for two barrels that were buried 25 years ago, filled with items placed by Athol Elementary and Timberlake High students to celebrate the outgoing century while welcoming a new one. “I cannot stand it,” said an eager Patricia Wilson, a retired Athol Elementary teacher whose former students were among those involved in the time capsule project she also helped facilitate. “I want so badly for him to hit something that we know what it is," she said. "We have all been just on pins and needles the last couple weeks waiting for this day to come."
