SANDPOINT — Bonner County prosecutors will now be required to attend all Bonner County commissioners’ regular business meetings, including executive sessions, after a motion was approved Tuesday morning.

During the meeting, Commissioner Luke Omodt read Idaho Code 31-2607, which states the prosecuting attorney is the legal advisor for the board, and must “attend their meetings when required and must attend and oppose all claims and accounts against the county when he deems them unjust or illegal.”
