The Emergency Plan was approved by the county commissioners in August of 2024. The city of CDA approved it a couple of weeks ago. Pastor Paul was the only person that showed up to speak against it. Dan Gookin was the only council member to oppose. County Commissioners now say they have concerns and Pastor Paul has assembled a team of folks going who are revising the plan and removing the concerning language and statutes. On 1/22 at 8am, the emergency ops folks will hear the new plan and county commissioners have committed to getting it approved. From there, Gookin has committed to bringing it up again for CDA. Sandy White has committed to trying to get Hayden to pass the new plan once written as well.
All that said, it’s important that we take these steps, but ultimately we need to fight this at the state level - our governor has ultimate authority according to Idaho statute and we need to change that. January 22 is just the first step. We need everyone to show up and show them we mean business!
