BOCC eyes longer meeting
LAUREN REICHENBACH | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 2 years, 4 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. | May 12, 2024 1:00 AM
SANDPOINT — Short commissioner agendas weren’t going to last forever, and Tuesday’s meeting is expected to be lengthier than those put before the board during the past few months.
Only one commissioner has items on this week’s agenda — Commissioner Asia Williams, who plans to discuss sergeant-at-arms optics, review the language in an ordinance, and discuss the definition of electioneering.
Six departments have items on the agenda this week as well. The board is set to hear from the Clerk, Recreation, Solid Waste, Justice Services, Weeds, and Planning departments regarding topics such as final plats, cost shares, contracts, and loans.
The waterways advisory board will also talk with the commissioners regarding a resolution for advisory board bylaw changes.
Tuesday’s meeting will end with two executive sessions: One for the Planning Department and the other for Human Resources. 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.
