I graduated from California Baptist University in April 2021 and was ready for a change of scenery, which is what brought me to North Idaho. Currently, I’m enjoying being newly married. My husband and I spend our weekends huckleberry picking, working on home improvement projects, taking my husky Judah on walks, spoiling our kitten Opal, and making plans to travel while we earn the means to do so. I love hanging out with family, studying indigenous arts and culture, going on outdoor adventures and creating wood-burning projects. I’m also always down for a casual debate about anything from philosophy and politics to the best local coffee shops. My childhood was filled with dreams of working in almost every field — archeologist, architect, writer, historian, aviator and mathematician were just a few titles I hoped to hold one day. After my first semester in college, I found myself wondering how choosing a major was ever going to be in the cards for me. But, with a little help from friends and family, I realized that the title of “journalist” is a good title for someone who is interested in a little bit of everything. When you can’t be everything, you can always write about everything. | November 15, 2023 1:00 AM

SANDPOINT — The Sandpoint City Council will only have a few items on its agenda when it meets today, including authorization of a grant application supporting child pedestrian safety, and a  revealing of the final Downtown Waterfront Design Competition report.

The council will also be acknowledging Nurse Practitioners Week at the beginning of the meeting

Council members are expected to authorize submission of an application for Children Pedestrian Safety Program grant funding through the Local Highway Technical Assistance Council. They will consider the city’s application for funds that would go toward reconstruction of the east side of Division Avenue between Superior and Pine streets, according to the agenda. 

The Westpointe Place preliminary plat, which has been an item at the past two meetings, is on the agenda again with a request to postpone the public hearing relating to the proposed four-lot subdivision in the vicinity of Ontario Street and U.S.. 2, until Dec. 20. Following the public hearing during council’s Oct. 18 meeting, council voted to postpone action to allow more time for deliberation and consideration. With a few postponements, city staff has determined Dec. 20 to be an appropriate date to reopen public hearing.

Lastly, GGLO-Bernardo Wills, the final team for the Downtown Waterfront Design Competition, will present the revised final competition report incorporating changes discussed at the council’s Oct.18 meeting. Next, potential steps and implementation will be presented, followed by council consideration of accepting the report. 

The meeting will be held at Sandpoint City Hall, 1123 Lake St., starting at 5:30 p.m. The public can attend in person or online at sandpointidaho.gov.

Commenting on the city's public meetings remotely will no longer be permitted as of the June 5 council meeting. This decision was made by Sandpoint Mayor Jeremy Grimm after “disturbing” comments were made by remote commenters at the May 15 meeting regarding the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. That meeting marks the second occurrence of such comments since last fall.
