Sanders Beach Owner Makes Offer

Item: Owner makes Sanders Beach offer: Proposal would give control of 229 feet adjacent to Jewett House to the city/Lucy Dukes, Coeur d'Alene Press

Beach owner Jerry Frank: "The city should own the beach, it should be public, and that's one of the reasons that I made the offer. People should have a place to swim. Most of them are just families. If they can solve the problems, then why shouldn't families be able to go down there and swim?"

DFO: Jerry Frank has expressed a willingness before to open his portion of the beach. In the past, he has suggested a tradeoff in which the road in front of his place is closed to the public. Dunno if that's in play here.

Question: What will be the eventual outcome re: use of Sanders Beach?
