County prioritizing facility needs

With $15.5 million to spend on discretionary projects, including facility upgrades, Kootenai County commissioners are bantering and prioritizing numerous projects. With the hefty fund balance, commissioners are in the early stages of prioritizing needs to address issues without raising taxes. “I’m in favor of eliminating a fractured campus and consolidating programs,” said Commissioner Dan Green, referring to how he’s prioritizing wish-list items. Several county departments — including elections, part of the court system and the Extension office — are located off the main campus. According to a 2012 facilities report, the county spends about $500,000 per year due to off-campus locations. While commissioners have started to discuss and prioritize facility improvements, few final decisions have been made/ Brian Walker , Coeur d’Alene Press. More here.
