After months of deliberation, the City Council voted Wednesday to leave the Selkirk Joint Powers Association, with Mayor Jeremy Grimm breaking a tie in favor of leaving.
Lengthy discussion and dense public comment were followed by a motion to continue in the Selkirk Fire joint powers agreement for another year at a special council meeting Wednesday.
An already short agenda became even shorter when Councilor Deb Ruehle asked to remove two items at the beginning of Wednesday’s council meeting.
The first item involved the city’s continuation in the Selkirk Fire Joint Powers Agreement and the second was a proposal to amend city code to include the community planning and development director and the public works director.
Included on the Sandpoint City Council agenda on Wednesday, Feb. 7, is an itemized list of bills that the council generally approves without discussion.
