is necessary to address what might happen with the land use of Cougar Island, but the letter is also
great as is. Council Member Thrower agreed with the concern of what could happen with land use
issues on Cougar Island and questioned if the Sewer District boundary includes Cougar Island.
Michelle Groenevelt, Community and Economic Development Director noted that the Sewer
District boundary does not include the lake; however, Manager Spickard noted the Sewer District's
ability to annex property.
Council Member Thrower noted some grammatical changes to the letter. Council Member Nielsen
echoed the concern of noting what happens with the land use of Cougar Island once the auction is
complete and the urgency to maintain public access for both Cougar Island and other endowment
lands. Council Member Thrower urged focus on Cougar Island as it is the current priority for
endowment lands.
Council Member Nielsen asked to request Idaho Department of Lands to make clear in their
advertisement what the land use and regulations would be once the auction is complete. Attorney
