City Council - July 6, 2026

Council to Explore Installation of Audible Pedestrian Signals at Crossings
During the public comment period, Joe Thompson, representing the National Federation of the Blind, advocated for the installation of audible signals at street light crossings, particularly along Route 95. Councilmember Evans acknowledged the lack of such signals and pledged to discuss the matter with ITD (Idaho Transportation Department) counterparts. John Slyoom also spoke in support of audible crossing signals, highlighting their importance. The council expressed openness to exploring solutions for this issue.
City Council Approves Amendments to Zoning Code to Clarify Dwelling Definitions and Standards
The city council held a public hearing and deliberated on proposed amendments to the city code regarding single-family dwellings, two-family dwellings, and bed and breakfasts. The amendments aim to clarify definitions for bedrooms, dwelling units, kitchens, and open space, and to address issues arising from the functional use of structures as multi-family dwellings while being permitted as single or two-family dwellings. Concerns were raised regarding the impact on affordable housing, safety standards, parking requirements, and the city's ability to regulate existing structures. Ultimately, the council voted to approve the ordinance amendments, aiming to increase consistency and clarity in code enforcement, particularly concerning fire safety and ADA accessibility.
City Approves Lot Division for 924 Public Avenue, Including Land Donation and Future Roadway Consideration
The council considered a lot division application for a 5-acre property at 924 Public Avenue. The proposal involves dividing the lot into two buildable parcels and one unbuildable tract to be donated to the Palouse Clearwater Environmental Institute (PCEI). The division meets zoning standards for R1 low-density single-family residential, but a condition was recommended to modify property boundaries to allow for a potential future expansion of Cherry Blossom Lane, ensuring a 50-foot width. The applicants verbally agreed to this condition. The council ultimately approved the lot division with this condition.
City Approves Public Art Projects: Mural for City Shop and Sculpture for Police Department
The city council approved the artist selection and contract for a mural at the city shop and a sculpture at the police department. The city shop mural, titled 'Forged in Moscow' by Taylor Shaw, will celebrate the work of city staff and infrastructure. The police department sculpture, 'Eternal Watch' by Ken McCall, is inspired by the concept of 'end of watch' and community service, and will commemorate the 20th anniversary of a 2007 incident. Both projects involved public input in their theme and design development.
