SANDPOINT — Following a seemingly successful Monday night Bonner County Fair Board meeting, the Bonner County commissioners unanimously voted to approve the auditing process for the board at their Tuesday morning meeting.

Commissioner Asia Williams brought the motion to the table, saying she felt an audit is absolutely necessary to move forward in a harmonious way with the fair board. Williams said if the motion passed, she would figure out which external auditors are available to take on the work, get a contract set up and bring it before the other commissioners.

Multiple public commenters asked for clarification on what the audit would entail — if it would only cover the last fiscal year or if it would also encompass the alleged fraud of fair board funds in 2022.
