Coeur d'Alene — City officials and community members dedicated a conference room at City Hall to the memory of Ron Edinger, honoring what the program called “50 years of distinguished public service.”
A presenter at the ceremony said the room will serve as “a lasting reminder of his service, his leadership and his commitment to the people of Coeur d'Alene.” The presenter asked Nancy and her daughters to come forward for an unveiling during the program.
Edinger’s service record was read at the ceremony: he served as a council member from 1968 to 1974, as mayor from 1974 to 1978, and again on the city council from 1980 to 2020.

The dedication took place during a regular gathering at City Hall; the transcript does not specify a calendar date for the ceremony.
