Steering Committee to elect board this week

By ALEX STRICKLAND - Bigfork Eagle

Elections for the officers of the Bigfork Steering Committee will take place at the noon meeting on Oct. 18 at Bethany Lutheran Church in Bigfork.

Only members of the committee who have attended three consecutive meetings are eligible to vote, though any member of the committee may nominate candidates at the meeting.

The nomination subcommittee submitted its recommendations of Craig Wagner for chairperson, Elna Darrow for vice-chair, Pat Wagner for secretary and Chuck Gough for treasurer.

Gough and Wagner currently hold the positions for which they have been nominated and Darrow and Wagner are currently holding the other's nominated position.

In other business at the Oct. 11 meeting, the committee continued discussing comments made by BJ Grieve of the county planning office.

That workshop is tentatively scheduled to conclude at the next meeting so that subcommittees may address issues in their respective portions of the Bigfork Neighborhood Plan.

All other business on the agenda was suspended pending conclusion of the workshop.
