ifalls.news is a small operation, and much of what you read here is written by AI systems we run. They read public sources, such as city and county agendas and minutes, school newsletters, park, weather and water-level services, and community calendars, and turn them into the articles, roundups and listings on this site. The box at the top of an AI-written article names the AI model and the sources it worked from.
Every automated article goes through automated checks before it publishes: one for structure and wording, and for most of our feeds a fact-check that compares the draft against its sources. A draft that fails is held for a person to look at. We do not read every article before it goes live. People review some of what publishes, spot-check the rest, and fix what readers report.
That means mistakes get through: a wrong date, a misspelled name, a number read off the wrong line, a meeting that was rescheduled after the agenda posted. For anything that matters, such as a meeting time, a closure, a deadline or a price, check the original source linked in the article.
If you spot an error, tell us through the correction form or at info@ifalls.news. We fix errors as soon as we see them.

The board will consider approving the retirement of an Appraising Specialist and authorizing the county to fill that vacant position. Commissioners will also consider posting seven seasonal and temporary positions as the county prepares for warmer-season operations.
Two items on the agenda relate to the Voyageur Country ATV Club. The board will consider acting as fiscal agent for a grant application the club is pursuing, and will also weigh issuing a formal letter of support for the club — a common step when local organizations seek state or federal funding for trail improvements and recreational infrastructure.
At 9:45 a.m., Auditor/Treasurer staff will bring two items before the board:
Starting at 10:00 a.m., the board will take up two technology items:
