Top Story: City Mulls Substation

Today’s Top Story …

A multi-million dollar public safety bond and establishment of a police substation on East Sherman Avenue received strong support from the Coeur d’Alene City Council this week during a 2014-15 budget strategy session. The city is considering going to voters in May 2015 to seek support for a General Obligation Bond that would fund capital needs for the police and fire departments for the next 10 years. The measure would replace a $7 million public safety bond approved by voters in 2005. Officials have not determined the amount of the proposed 2015 bond, but it will be less than the previous measure, said city finance director Troy Tymeson/ Keith Erickson , Coeur d’Alene Today.
