Public comments, grant top BOCC agenda

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. | April 9, 2024 1:00 AM
SANDPOINT — Bonner County commissioners are slated to discuss a boating safety grant agreement and hear public comment at their regular meeting today.
Commissioners will discuss an Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation Recreational Boating Safety Grant agreement at the request of Bonner County Sheriff Lt. Doug McGeachy.
The planning department will present two action items concerning final plats, including Whiskey Jack Estates and Clagstone Estates.

The other will cover conversations regarding the trespassing of Dave Bowman and Richard Cramer, county responsibility to provide legal counsel to elected officials, citizen arrest, and payment of an invoice.
