Dam bond issue

BONNERS FERRY — The city of Bonners Ferry hopes to ask voters for permission to issue a bond that would finance $4.1 million in repairs to the aging Moyie Dam.

At a recent meeting, the Bonners Ferry City Council discussed the proposed repair plan for the 70-year-old Moyie Dam and took the first steps toward a May bond referendum. This follows a September rate increase for city electric customers which would pay for the debt service on a proposed bond.

The 9.5 percent rate hike for Bonners Ferry electric customers was the first time the city increased electric rates in more than 10 years.

Sandpoint Fest

director sought

SANDPOINT — Love music? Enjoy helping others discover new bands and don’t mind taking long walks around Memorial Field?

If you answered yes to all of these question, the Festival at Sandpoint Board of Directors wants to talk to you. The board is accepting applications for a full-time executive director.

The board hopes those interested apply as soon as possible with the goal of starting quickly, FAS board member Bob Witte said.

The position will be open until the new full-time executive director is chosen, ideally in early March. The Festival at Sandpoint has been without a permanent executive director since the summer music series parted ways with former longtime executive director Diana “Dyno” Wahl following her arrest on a drunken driving charge.
