The Priest River City Council and several residents discussed the city's proposed Area of Impact and what Bonner County Commissioners approved during a Dec. 2 special meeting at City Hall. Multiple residents who live inside the mapped area attended to ask questions about the boundaries and implications for their properties.
Planning and Zoning Administrator Gabell and council members reviewed the differing maps and fielded questions from attendees. The discussion focused on clarifying where the city's proposed boundary diverges from the county-approved version and what those differences might mean for residents inside the Area of Impact. The minutes record that several citizens present asked questions but do not show any motion or vote on the designation at this meeting.
