Nearly two dozen items on BOCC agenda

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. | January 21, 2024 1:00 AM

SANDPOINT — Twenty-one items, covering seven topics, have been placed by Commissioner Asia Williams on Tuesday’s Bonner County Board of Commissioners’ agenda.

Each item has been placed on the agenda three times, labeled a different way — action chat, discussion chat and decision chat.

Last week, six of Williams’s seven items were removed for being listed on the agenda incorrectly, although the District 2 commissioner claimed there was nothing wrong with them. This week, they are listed as each, presumably to prevent them from being removed again.

Williams hopes to discuss legal opinions, commissioner chat guests, events, community issues, projects, open meeting rules, and the fair investigative report.

Also on the agenda are items from the Clerk, Emergency Management, Human Resources, airport, Sheriff-Marine and Board of Community Guardians departments regarding monetary requests, resolutions and lease agreements.

The meeting is expected to end with an executive session about human resources issues. 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.
