Councilor rescinds direction on Camp Bonneville contract, leaving no majority to proceed
Summary
A councilor rescinded their prior direction to staff about renewing a training contract at Camp Bonneville, saying the balance of benefits and trade‑offs has shifted; the speaker said that leaves no majority to move forward with a future contract.
During council reports, a councilor who had previously supported renewing a contract allowing FBI training at Camp Bonneville told colleagues they were rescinding the prior direction to staff.
“I’m rescinding my, my direction to staff on that,” the councilor said, adding the decision was not a criticism of the FBI but a balance-of-benefits judgment. The speaker told the council that, after weighing community benefits and potential trade‑offs, they no longer supported moving forward with a future contract.
The chair confirmed that without that councilor’s support there would not be a majority to proceed with renewing the contract. No formal motion to approve a new contract was made; staff were not given clear direction to advance the contract at this time.
