Before the meeting on Dec.15, Ronan City Council members and Mayor Chris Adler interviewed community members who had written letters of interest in Calvin Hardy’s seat on the council. Hardy and Lindsey Myers are the two representatives of Ward 2, and Hardy’s term ends Dec. 31. During the meeting, Public Works Director Dan Miller brought up “islands” of county property surrounded by city subdivisions and/or city streets.
Ronan City Council voted yes in a 4-2 decision to allow the annexation of 31 acres on Mink Lane for a new three-acre meat processing plant, as long as the City of Ronan can enter a cooperative agreement with the tribal council.
