City OKs purchase of Dub's site
Tables amendment to multimodal plan to refine changes
After an extended debate over amendment of the city's multimodal plan, Sandpoint City Council got around to what prompted the discussion — purchase of the Dub's property. After an hour-long discussion over how the purchase might impact the multimodal plan, the council voted 5-0 to approve the purchase of the property from owners Marty and Jeralyn Mire for $385,000. The site would then be leased back to the Mires for an initial period of two years with the option to renew the $500-per-month lease in six-month increments. The couple plan to sublease the business to Ryan and Bethany Welsh, who would run Dub's with the intent to purchase it down the road as well as relocate it when the time comes.
