City Service Notice to Spencer re: Architects West Visit

re: text of a letter sent by the city of Coeur d'alene to activist Larry Spencer Friday.

Larry Spencer
3711 E. Tobler Road
Hayden, Idaho 83835

It has come to my attention that last week you visited the offices of Architects West, Inc. and may have held yourself out as a representative of the Mayor and/or the city of Coeur d'Alene. Your conduct, whether intentional or not, certainly led the people you spoke with to believe that you were there on city business. As I'm sure you are aware, you are in no way authorized to hold yourself out as a representative of the City of Coeur d'Alene or any of its officials. (In) some situations such conduct can be a criminal offense. Please be advised that in the event that a person wrongfully holds themselves out as a representative of the City, the City will take all necessary steps to protect the safety and integrity of its citizens and employees. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Warren Wilson
Chief deputy city attorney

Update: The letter came back to the city today b/c the address was incorrect. However, Wilson read the letter to Spencer Friday, so Spencer knows the content.
