CLN accepts URD money, decreases base by same amount
Community Library Network trustees unanimously approved accepting $42,256.90 in urban renewal district funds during a special meeting Friday at the Post Falls Library. At the same meeting, the board majority — Chair Rachelle Ottoson, Vice Chair Tom Hanley and Tim Plass — diminished funding for the network by the same amount, despite objections from Trustees Katie Blank and Vanessa Robinson and several words of caution from Library Director Alexa Eccles.
