Sandpoint City Council is an exciting position. We are the legislative body of the municipal government. As our City is a focal point for the region, Council decisions often affect a greater number of people than those living within the City boundaries.
At times it is an uncomfortable position. We live in a small town with a close community. Sometimes, we cannot please everyone. Often I live near these people or work with them. My decision may directly impact my neighbor. For this reason, it is a serious responsibility.
I hope through this blog to highlight the facts important to my decision and the reasons for my determination. People may not agree with my choice but I hope they understand my logic. I believe that on many of these issues, reasonable minds will differ.
Where possible I will follow a legal format. The issue will be presented first. The rule, statute, or ordinance will be presented second. Third will be the analysis of the situation which will parse the facts and apply the rule. Finally, I will present my conclusions and the reason for my vote.
I hope to update this blog after City Council meetings and important decisions. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Stephen.
