Summary

The board discussed commissioner district balancing required by Idaho Code 31-704, noted only a small number of changes remain (about 65 people moved districts), and agreed to delay formal action for one week to finalize cleanup items.

The Kootenai County Board of Commissioners resumed discussion of item 7, commissioner district balancing under Idaho Code 31-704, and elected to postpone formal action for at least one week.

Board members said staff had presented the item previously and that only a few cleanup items remained. One commissioner observed about 65 people had their district assignments changed as a result of the balancing. With those outstanding cleanup items, commissioners agreed it was acceptable to return to the item at a later meeting rather than take final action immediately.

No formal motion or vote to adopt a district-balance plan occurred at this meeting; staff will bring the finalized material back for formal board action at a future session.
