Council accepts sanitation‑board resignation; schedules outreach on ambulance service and meets with CN railroad
Summary
The council accepted John Bremer’s resignation from the North Area Sanitation District board and said an existing councilor will serve temporarily; in open forum a resident urged inviting county commissioners to discuss ambulance service, and the council agreed to arrange a meeting with CN railroad and the bridge contractor.
The Rain City Council accepted the resignation of John Bremer from the North Area Sanitation District board and agreed that a council member could serve temporarily while the council identifies a longer-term replacement.
A council member moved and the council voted to accept the resignation; the council thanked Bremer for his years of service. The mover said they could fill in temporarily while the council considers suitable candidates.
Nut graf: The appointment covers board continuity on a utility‑adjacent board; councilors also used open forum to highlight near-term public‑service discussions and outside‑party meetings the council plans to pursue.
During open forum a resident asked that the council invite the two county commissioners who represent the city to an April meeting to discuss the future of ambulance service and to advertise the meeting so residents can offer input. The resident said, “maybe in April we should invite our two commissioners from the county that represent us,” noting the community would face new billing if changes proceed. Council members agreed this was appropriate and directed staff to work on scheduling and notice.
Separately, council members reported they had been contacted by CN railroad (represented by Patrick) and that CN and the bridge contractor will meet with the council and staff to discuss upcoming bridge work; the council discussed possible April dates and emphasized the need to have key staff (including Cheryl) available for the meeting.
The council adjourned after the scheduled business.
