Commissioners hold brief business meeting

Maybe not a record, but the weekly Bonner County Commissioner’s business meeting agenda was dispatched in four minutes including the invocation and the Pledge of Allegiance. With no public comments, commissioners approved the agenda with the addition of a litigation item added to the executive session.

The consent agenda which included the meeting minutes from November 29; liquor licenses issued to Matchwood Brewing Company, Stoneridge Golf Course, Popeye’s Lounge, Golden Dragon, The Falls Inn and DiLuna’s; and plat approval for Aurora Estates was unanimously approved.

Melissa Libbers, Operations Manager for Emergency Management requested terminating a resolution that declared a local disaster emergency, specifically at Rocky Point. Libbers said there was no longer a threat to life and the disaster no longer exists. The motion passed unanimously.

Also passing by all three commissioners was a request from Cindy Binkerd from Human Resources to recruit a replacement for the public defender who is leaving the county.

The county commissioners meet every Wednesday at 9 a.m. at the Bonner County Administration Building, 1500 Highway 2, Suite 338, Sandpoint. Citizens wishing to address the board regarding county related issues may do so during the public comment period.
