Hospital gaining ground

Coulee Medical Center is beating its budget for the year, having gained $1,166,551 more than it’s spent to operate through August, Chief Financial Officer Kelly Hughes reported to hospital district commissioner Monday night.

A good August helped, with CMC posting three times the gain for the month that Hughes had budgeted. That $384,329 gain for August put the facility past its budgeted gain for the year by an extra $290,913.

Councilmember

steps down

Coulee Dam Councilmember Marcia Warnecke resigned that position last month, Mayor Bob Poch announced at the council meeting held Sept. 25.

Warnecke cited personal and family reasons in her note dated Sept. 16.

Her resignation leaves an immediate opening on the council, plus one coming up in January when Councilmember Ben Alling leaves his longtime seat, for which he decided not to seek re-election.

Town revamping

pet laws

Coulee Dam’s town council has been considering changes to its ordinances related to pet ownership and control. Following complaints about a dangerous dog, by neighbors who say the owner is not complying with the current ordinance on such animals, the council has been looking into outdated wording.

Now, it’s looking at all parts of its ordinance that deals with regular cats and dogs, not just dangerous ones.
