COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho — The Coeur d’Alene City Council on Tuesday did not approve a resolution that called for supporting the Coeur d’Alene School District’s upcoming levy.
Instead, the council removed any words from the resolution that stated the city’s support of the two-year supplemental levy. While council members agreed that as individuals they supported the measure, they could not do so as public officials.
“The way this resolution is written right now, I can’t support (it) and don’t think it’s proper because we should not be taking a position pro or con,” said Councilman Dan English.
“We should not be in the position of using public resources when it comes down to a yay or nay kind of thing,” English added.
The council voted 5-1 to approve the resolution “urging all citizens to register to vote and to cast a ballot in School District No. 271’s supplemental levy election on May 16, 2023.”
