The Post Falls City Council on Dec. 2 approved a set of procedural and fiscal items including budget carryovers, a budget amendment funded by one-time salary savings, and several ordinances and annexations placed on single-reading votes under suspension of rules.

Key actions: the consent calendar was approved at the start of the meeting. Council approved fiscal year 2026 carryover items for previously-ordered equipment and projects (fleet, parks, street impact fees and a water master plan) and passed a related one-time budget amendment allocating salary-savings for selected capital needs. The council also approved Amendment 10 to the Panhandle Area Council contract to close out wage-compliance documentation related to the water reclamation facility upgrades.

On ordinances, the council approved the Warren Field Park alley/right-of-way vacation (vacating about 0.31 acres), and passed annexation ordinances for Painted Rock (ANX-25-3) and Linger (ANX-24-11). All items passed by motion and roll call.

Where votes were recorded in the transcript, the presiding officer reported the motions as passing; the transcript records motions, seconds and roll-call confirmations but in some cases reports the outcome as "motion passes" rather than printing a numeric tally in the spoken record. For administrative follow-up, staff will publish ordinances by summary where directed and process budget and contract closeouts per normal city procedures.
