The Post Falls Urban Renewal Agency convened on September 18, 2025, to address key financial matters and ongoing projects impacting the community. The meeting commenced with a roll call, confirming the presence of all commissioners, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.
A significant focus of the meeting was the approval of the consent agenda, which included financial reports and a legal services contract for the upcoming fiscal year. The total funds across all accounts were reported at $4,408,834.30, reflecting a decrease of $12,004.12 for the month. The consent calendar was unanimously approved, ensuring the agency's financial operations remain on track.
In terms of ongoing projects, the agency discussed a contract with the Metz Group for an impact assessment of two closed urban renewal districts. This assessment aims to evaluate the success of these districts and their influence on commercial and industrial growth within Post Falls. The agency plans to collaborate with the Coeur d'Alene Economic Development Corporation and the Kootenai Metropolitan Planning Organization to gather insights on the positive impacts of urban projects. The timeline for data analysis is set from late October to December, with a report expected for review in early 2026.
Additionally, the agency is awaiting proposed language changes from the health project in the Post Falls Technology District, which may be discussed in the next meeting.
The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, highlighting the agency's commitment to transparency and community engagement as it navigates important urban renewal initiatives. The next meeting is anticipated to further address these developments and continue the agency's mission to enhance Post Falls.
