I'm taking this opportunity to introduce myself to vision 2020 recipients
and ask for advice. I'm president of Rural Kootenai Organization in
Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. We're experiencing the same kinds of subsidized,
poorly planned growth that you are in Moscow. At the moment, RKO has
appealed our City Council's approval of a PUD and annexation of a portion
of Blackwell Island. The Island sits in a 100 yr. flood plane and the
annexed portion was used as an area dump from 1946-1967 and the landfill
was not adequately tested before the PUD and annexation were approved.
The Island is located in the Spokane River above the northern tip of the
Spokane/Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer. This gives you some background as to
why we've decided to appeal the Council's decision. We must raise about
$10,000 to pay for the appeal and we've received about $5,000 in local
donations and gifts. Any other ideas???? I've written the Brainerd
and Bullitt Foundations but they will require a 501(C)(3) and we've been
fighting the IRS for about 2 years to get one. I hope some of you may be
able to provide me with some funding suggestions other than going
directly to the community for support which we've already done. Thanks!
Denise Clark, President
RKO, Inc.
