Troy Dispatch News Today

Maybe residents using the library should pay for the service instead of always expecting the property owners to pay for it!

District 1 Commissioner Brent Teske said the commissioners wanted to hold the session after he said he received quite a few questions from voters about ballot problems and other issues.

At the county level, registered voters will decide if the county will be able to collect a 3% tax on sales of recreational and medicinal marijuana.

The ballot box for Troy absentee voters will be maintained in the former office of the now defunct dispatch center.

But with word that a video camera would be installed in the former dispatch center, it was decided to maintain the drop box at its current location.

After discussion at a Sept. 22 meeting, Troy Area Dispatch Board members John Righter, Heather McDougall and Hank LaSalla voted unanimously to dissolve the Troy Area Dispatch District and permanently transfer dispatch services to the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office.

The center has struggled to maintain necessary staffing for quite some time with the county Sheriff’s Office handling calls in the Troy area in the interim.

The meeting will be held at 6 p.m. in city council chambers at 301 E. Kootenai Ave.

Emergency and non-emergency dispatch services for the Troy Area District were transferred to the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office Dispatch on Monday, July 17.
