Council decision
The Sandpoint City Council in Idaho approved starting construction on a modified version of the City Beach RV Park renovation this winter. According to one source, the decision was made on September 16; according to another, the vote was 4 to 2.
Scope and budget
The selected "essential RV park" option includes necessary infrastructure, utilities, traffic organization, operational improvements and basic landscaping. The restroom and shower building is deferred to a later date. According to one source, the base option is estimated at $1.1 million, exceeding available funds; to cover the difference, the council approved transferring about $269,000 from the park capital improvement fund. The upper option with amenities ("resort RV park") is estimated at $1.8 million. In 2024, the city received a grant of $950,000 from the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation with a local match of $50,000. Construction will begin in winter 2026 and be completed by the summer season of 2027.
