Post Falls City Council Meeting - June 16, 2026
Published: Jun 16, 2026
Heaven View Zoning Approved: R1 and R2 Districts Deemed Consistent with City Plans
The council discussed the proposed zoning for the Heaven View annexation, specifically R1 and R2 designations. Council members debated the consistency with the comprehensive plan's goals and policies, including promoting compatible development, improving pedestrian connectivity, and providing diverse housing types. While acknowledging concerns about shared park space for the large development, the council ultimately found the zoning consistent with comprehensive plan objectives, particularly regarding housing variety and planned transportation network improvements. The zoning was also deemed not to create adverse impacts on service delivery.
Fenicus Right-of-Way Vacation Approved for Heaven View Development
The City Council approved the vacation of a portion of Fenicus right-of-way related to the Heaven View annexation. Staff confirmed that the right-of-way is no longer needed by the city for utility purposes, as sewer and water lines have been relocated to the roadway. The vacation allows this area to be absorbed into the adjacent development. No concerns were raised by notified agencies regarding adverse impacts. The council voted unanimously to approve the vacation.
City Council Approves Clean Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Report with No Audit Findings
The City Council reviewed and approved the fiscal year 2025 annual comprehensive financial report. Finance Director Jason Falner presented the report, detailing various financial statements including the statement of net position, statement of activities, and cash flow statements for water, wastewater, and sanitation. The audit revealed no findings or adjustments to the financial statements, presenting them as fair and correct. The report covers governmental funds and enterprise funds, showing a net position of over $312 million for business-type activities and a significant asset base for governmental activities. Discussions also touched upon fund carryover, reserves, and the distinction between governmental and business-type activities in financial reporting.
City Approves Consent to Annexation for Sewer Connection at 200 South Sequoia Court
The City Council approved a consent to annexation agreement for a property at 200 South Sequoia Court to allow connection to city sanitary sewer. The property, part of the Pine Estate subdivision and currently an 'island' outside city limits, has a failing septic system. The city has a sanitary sewer line on Maplewood Avenue adjacent to the property. This agreement permits the property owner to connect to the city sewer, with the formal annexation process to follow at a later date at the city's discretion. This move is seen as beneficial for environmental protection by removing failing septic systems near the aquifer and provides a more reliable utility for the homeowner.
Council Debates User Licenses and Cost Savings in Traffic Data Agreement
During the City Council meeting, a discussion arose regarding the proposed agreement with Urban SDK for traffic data acquisition, specifically concerning the cost and number of user licenses. Council members debated whether three user seats were necessary, given that engineering might not use the software daily and that the police department's usage was uncertain. Concerns were raised about the $5,500 cost per additional user seat and the potential for savings by starting with fewer seats. The City Engineer suggested exploring options for two seats (one for engineering, one for police) or a single seat initially, with the possibility of adding more later. Council member Stigler expressed significant discomfort with the speed monitoring aspect of the data, ultimately voting against the proposal. The motion to approve passed, but with a strong suggestion to seek cost reductions, particularly regarding user licenses.
