Thomas, representing Troop 189, stated the Boy Scouts of America organization is
requesting troops find service projects as a part of the tenth anniversary of
9-11. The local troop would like to
set a flagpole at the southwest corner of the main city park.
After questions arose over the length of time of the display and the
responsibility for the flag, the Boy Scout leaders felt further study was needed. TRAFFIC Bob Davis met with the city
council to express his dismay with non-local truck traffic abusing West City
Limits, First Street, and Washington Street.
He felt that type of truck traffic should be limited to the State
highways and to the truck bypass recently constructed by Stevens County.
He felt a heavy fine and stringent enforcement would keep those trucks
off the city streets. IMPROVEMENTS USD 210 Superintendent Mark

the location and provide dirt work in the area.
