COEUR d’ALENE — Kootenai County residents may soon have an opportunity to weigh in on proposed impact fees to support the jail.
Last year, the county hired Boise-based firm Galena Consulting to calculate impact fees for the jail, as well as for the sheriff’s office and county parks and waterways. Commissioners ultimately scrapped the latter plans, focusing instead on the jail.
The county subsequently commissioned another study, this time by the firm TischlerBise.
