Drone use tops BOCC agenda
LAUREN REICHENBACH | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 2 years, 6 months AGO
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. | March 10, 2024 1:00 AM
SANDPOINT — The use of drones to survey building locations on residents’ properties has been placed on the agenda by Commissioner Asia Williams at the Bonner County commissioners’ Tuesday meeting.
Williams hopes to discuss the issue as the Planning Department recently announced it had planned to use the technology.
Also on the agenda are contracts, maintenance agreements, project advertisements and resolutions from the county’s Planning, Justice Services, Road and Bridge and Emergency Management departments.
The meeting will end with multiple executive sessions: One regarding multiple human resources items and the other from the sheriff’s office about records exemptions. 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.
