Gary Ingram wants an Open Session to mention the new Cop Shop in City Park that was apparently used for the first time yesterday. See his comment posted below.

The online agenda for the Coeur d’Alene General Services Committee meeting today shows that Parks Director Doug Eastwood plans to ask the Council to include a line item in the City financial plan to help the Coeur d’Alene City Parks Foundation pay its expenses.
