Asking for more information on traffic and other community impacts, the Polson City Commission last week voted to table a decision on a resolution to annex 79 acres north of the city airport that is the proposed site of a casino to be operated by the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes.

The decision to table followed more than an hour of commission discussion and public comment. Commissioner Carolyn Pardini was the sole dissenting vote. The Commission did not set a date to revisit the matter.

City staff had recommended the commission approve the resolution.

The Tribes have asked the city to extend water and sewer infrastructure to property located north of the Flathead River on the west side of U.S. 93 that they are planning to develop.
