Coeur d’Alene to host a public information meeting regarding the upcoming Western States Fuel Management Grant on Tubbs Hill on April 22nd from 6:00-7:00 p.m. at the Library Community Room

The City of Coeur d’Alene has collaborated with the Kootenai County Office of Emergency Management team and the Idaho Department of Lands to successfully apply for and receive a grant for fuel mitigation work to reduce the risk of fire on Tubbs Hill. This grant will fund nearly $600,000 worth of fuel reduction work on the Hill. This initiative will not only help reduce the risk of fire in this treasured natural area but also improve forest health. After a brief freeze on grant funding, the project is now in the planning phase and will soon go out to bid.  The city will host a public information meeting on Tuesday, April 22, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. in the Coeur d’Alene Library Community Room.  All interested parties are welcome to attend. 

All Coeur d’Alene community members and neighborhood groups are invited to attend the upcoming meeting to ask questions and provide input and recommendations to ensure that the draft code addresses neighborhood compatibility.  The meeting format will be a Zoom webinar with a presentation, live polling, and an opportunity for input and questions.  Attendees will have an opportunity to be called upon to speak, similar to council and commission meetings.     

The virtual meeting will be held Tuesday, April 22, 2025, in the Coeur d’Alene Library Community Room from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m.
