Rob Owen, owner of a business at 337 S. Washington, used the March 16 Newport City Council meeting public comment period to question how the city bills Oldtown, ID for use of Newport's sewage treatment plant and to suggest business license fees be used to benefit Newport businesses. The minutes record his question but do not record a staff answer or follow-up.
City Administrator Abby Gribi's remarks at the meeting noted staff are "focusing on getting City business completed on time," but the minutes do not show a direct response to Owen's request about billing or a commitment to study his proposal on business license fees.
