PAYETTE â The Payette City Council saw a change in its ranks on Tuesday night, as former Councilor Craig Jensen returned to his former post. Jensen, who was present at the councilâs regular council meeting, was appointed by Mayor Jeff Williams, after Khalia Morin announced her resignation from the council citing that she would be relocating outside of Payette. Morin held a two-year position on the council.
Upon hearing Williamsâ recommenation, Councilor Lori Steiniker raised concerns about Jensenâs return to the council, citing issues which were ongoing when he retired from the council in Jan. 2020.
âItâs nothing personal, I think Mr. Jensen is a very upstanding person,â Steiniker said. âI worry about the message weâre sending to our citizens.â
