Whole-community town hall rescheduled

A whole-community town hall has been pushed back a week to Saturday, May 4.

The meeting will still take place at the Coulee Dam Town Hall Ballroom at 10:30 a.m. and feature all four local mayors and most council members from each jurisdiction. The Star’s editor and publisher, Scott Hunter, will moderate the event. The event is being organized by the Regional Board of Mayors.

The agenda and format is still being determined, but attendees can expect to hear updates about regionally relevant projects, including road chipseal repair jobs that span multiple town boundaries, animal control, and the possibility of asking voters to authorize creation of an emergency medical services district and a regional fire authority in the future.

Residents who wish to address the collection of local elected officials on regional issues will have time to do so, the mayors decided last month.
