However, as I wrote a few weeks back, the deal is already done. The feds have already prepped the ground to overrule all local city and county zoning and land use ordinances. I was shocked that not one reader bothered to comment. Please do go to the public meetings about the proposed changes, just don’t be surprised when you are ignored and when a federal judge imposes a completely different set of “approved” standards and restrictions. See Idaho’s Federal Affordable Housing and Community Development program where “it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public (read state and local) policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment.”

The school superintendent and board haven’t presented us with enough facts and figures such as square footage of the structures, floor plans, blueprints, material to be used, bids or estimated costs for each school, a timeline for completion of construction and other information necessary to make a responsible financial decision of such magnitude. There is no way to know if construction is staying within budget and being completed on time.

After reading the guest opinion in the Daily Bee (Aug. 21, 2016), I’m wondering if I should be extremely concerned about Bonner County’s part-time residents’ financial well-being.

Yard signs, bumper stickers and pamphlets in the mail remind us that there are issues and elections needing our attention. Regarding the LPOSD school levy, I urge all county residents to pay careful attention to the proposed tax increase. “Our taxes will double” is not an accurate description of levy impact on Bonner County residents. For example, if your 2015 tax bill was $1,200, it will not be $2,400 if the levy is approved.

Although Sandpoint has excellent teachers, programs and athletics, school facilities were not something to brag about.

There seems to be a lot of concern about the price tag on the upcoming levy. $55M over six years is a lot of money and yes, there is no denying that it will impact property taxes. It is, however, long overdue. This is a situation that has been many years in the making, and we are the community of citizens that is being asked to change the pattern. The state of Idaho contributes no state dollars to the upkeep of school buildings, leaving it to the community members to maintain. The maintenance costs for these old schools becomes more cost prohibitive every year. We are putting good money into a downward spiraling situation.

I support the $55.1 million plant facility levy for LPOSD because it is necessary and vital to maintain a safe and healthy environment for our students to learn.

Several buildings have been rated unsatisfactory; Sandpoint Middle School currently has the lowest physical condition score of all the schools in the district. Problems have mounted due to failed attempts to pass levies over the years, not because the administration has mismanaged funds.

Support the future, vote yes on LPOSD levy
On Aug. 30, our community will have the opportunity to address the aging LPOSD facilities. Three of these buildings were originally constructed in the 1950s: Sandpoint Middle School, and Northside and Washington elementary schools. Clearly the students of the 21st century are not best served in these half-plus century old buildings with failing infrastructure, inadequate lighting, including but not limited to sub-par electrical systems, are not sufficient to feed the minds and power the technology demands of a 21st century student.

The school board decision to rush-to-pass a $55,000 million levy without further study and community input is totally wrong. The levy amount and methods employed to bring it before the voters are highly suspect. I would ask, what are we teaching the very children it is to benefit? That it is proper to use whatever devious method necessary to attain the objective, including limited study of needs or options; excessive spending on election costs instead of including it with the general election; or that private correspondence to parents and school personnel is being forthright? Is it the end justifies the means? Also, considering the amount of money involved, isn’t a bond issue the right course of action? And how does declining enrollment fit in this proposal?

Our county commissioners are proposing a significant change in the regulations for subdividing land in Bonner County from “Ag 20 to Ag 5.” This may sound good in theory, allowing people with larger tracks of land to sell some of it and make a little extra money, but what’s the big hurry? I would venture to guess that because Mr. Sudick lost in the primary he’s pushing through his agenda of less government regulations before he leaves office. What will Bonner County look like cut into parcels 5 acres or less — more people, roads, traffic, accidents, noise, pollution, construction, wells, septic systems and emergency services? All of this “more” will result in less farmland, trees, wildlife, ground water and serenity.
