Drone use tops BOCC agenda

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.
