However, after a lengthy discussion between the commissioners, Kennedy, and a resident living near the proposed area (west of Grangeville), the motion failed to receive a second, and the request was denied. The meeting on Tuesday, June 25, was a continuation of the public hearing at the previous week’s meeting. In attendance were commissioners Lindsley, Skip Brandt and Denis Duman, Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Matt Jessup, and County Clerk Kathy Ackerman.
