METALINE FALLS – There will be two meetings hosted by the Town of Metaline Falls Monday, Sept. 30.
The first will be a public hearing on the Town’s adoption of the Pend Oreille County Growth Management Act (GMA). It will be held at 6:45 p.m. at the town hall. In order to meet Washington state requirements, the town council voted to approve the adoption of the Pend Oreille County GMA. A resolution on the vote will be taken at the Oct. 10 meeting of the council.
For any clarification on this issue, contact the Town Hall at 509-446-2211 during regular business hours.
At 7 p.m. there will be an open public meeting to discuss the Town’s work with Pend Oreille County on hazard and disaster mitigation. The meeting will be held on Monday, Sept. 30, at 7 p.m. in the Metaline Falls town hall.
Mayor Tara Leininger will chair the event, which will include not only information on individual preparedness but how the town and county will respond in case of any disaster, weather, or geological incident. The most relevant issue is wildfires, which are becoming more frequent and severe; certain northern Pend Oreille County is at risk.
