A county official said the policy has been refined for more than a year with input from legal counsel, the county engineer and staff. The presenter described the policy as guidance rather than an ordinance and said it sets expectations for developers — including that development agreements should be in place before significant site work begins so road construction or other site improvements do not precede a formal agreement on off‑site infrastructure responsibilities.

The presenter said the policy is an internal document and had not been released for public review; the board discussed making the policy available on the county website under planning and zoning and the road department. The board approved the policy by voice vote and then approved signing Resolution 2025‑06 to record the action; the presenter confirmed signatures would be collected on both documents.

No ordinance change, fee schedule, or implementation timeline was discussed during the recorded item. The presenter asked staff (Laurie or Mackenzie were named in the discussion) to publish the policy online so developers could find guidance when considering projects in Valley County.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Valley County Board of County Commissioner Meeting February 3, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","After more than a year of drafting, Valley County commissioners approved a development agreement policy (Resolution 2025‑06) to guide developers on timing and requirements for off‑site infrastructure and site work; the board decided to record the resolution and post the policy on county planning and road department web pages.","taxTitle","Valley County, Idaho","taxId",51032,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6669032,"Valley County adopts West Central Mountains regional housing needs assessment",58,164224,223084,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2214951-a4e491fe27571703bae66562af3219d6&start=164&end=223","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2214951-a4e491fe27571703bae66562af3219d6/thumbnail_164224.jpg","/articles/6669032/Valley-County/Idaho/Valley-County-adopts-West-Central-Mountains-regional-housing-needs-assessment","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6669032-bb051c2223d8ce415bef9ac9ca9d167c/orig.mp4?Expires=1775401215&Signature=XMQZItsJ9J~P1are6J4o7ZREpTVwgcr-MziN~7Jj205gu3dLzoMIC3xgXdk8qJ2TjCielfzYY4HSZ4RLu5XQ4AOW8Q42UDmfbLoG0ePmYk0Gwe8~~bLJQ-ZPWEdGKhcD~IqEZazgX9q-0xNtZzA87Xex6bJVtbyFmt0lLleqnotUI0CvLqIwRZCjZvBsEWcPCo5gpXgCnYKS~x4YXIuZS9q9ejKS5VVJpQoGgV2RI5ikRSNuD7zFlytX7UIyUyT4wVpaw3siUYbe8VscaQNI0Iu5Tl6sl3EJJLqPSjj6CgDWGWrxeGKzYR7CgSz4xp7YP-wVeA24ROxeCWWI9oz~lw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Valley County commissioners voted Feb. 3 to adopt Resolution 2025‑05, accepting the West Central Mountains Regional Housing Needs Assessment.

A county official told the board that commissioners Caldwell and Thompson had requested additional time to review the document and that the requested changes to the addendum were made before the meeting. After that explanation a commissioner moved to adopt the resolution, a second was recorded, and the board approved the resolution by voice vote.

The motion and vote were brief; the transcript records no further public comment or debate on the assessment at the meeting. The county official said the document had been cleaned up as requested and was ready for approval.

No implementation timeline, budgetary implications or follow‑up tasks for housing programs were discussed during the recorded item.","The Valley County Board of Commissioners voted to adopt Resolution 2025‑05 to accept the West Central Mountains Regional Housing Needs Assessment after staff said requested addendum changes were made.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6669036,"Valley County approves $81,000 broadband planning MOU with Imagine Idaho Foundation",113,1041,114095,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2214951-a4e491fe27571703bae66562af3219d6&start=1&end=114","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2214951-a4e491fe27571703bae66562af3219d6/thumbnail_1041.jpg","/articles/6669036/Valley-County/Idaho/Valley-County-approves-81000-broadband-planning-MOU-with-Imagine-Idaho-Foundation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6669036-91d28e28c48a92beef1f52c18deb1a39/orig.mp4?Expires=1775401215&Signature=iTQuvnzRENYdAZcOLrRJTDNo2Y-ksQEGhSZ8hpr3IgM~pJRd-BecEMQpieTnymVE9lr--JF2Et5io5GFEVG0odq48fB7PQDMOAMSLQdDfNUzpsoaidUJ6w8h952LbRJlmT6qHs4ewCeaCYsZSru7xDLBAJiMo~CKQ~rwBiZ~z-mhVxl6rM3PdCv7pPyiqLaxDYRlqNswocS4JkXmKRN66V~DwtYX27qqp7OohfxR1Hwd245a~RRKMygoyGM2-3c5z8fnNBpOduVCotbjb~1TMgBv1BxdWehHvBWdCVx22KhTMaSpmJwwX7iDaP~Q1~k8a0IfUCEjXtVTfNNFPrEHLA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Valley County commissioners on Feb. 3 approved a memorandum of understanding with the Imagine Idaho Foundation to accept an $81,000 broadband planning grant and to develop a plan that would identify how local providers could use a new middle‑mile connection to expand service.

The board voted by voice to approve the MOU after a staff overview that described Imagine Idaho as a regional broadband convening group that applied for and received the planning grant “on our behalf as a greater project.” The presenter said the plan will be used to show potential users where the county’s footprint needs to expand.

The presenter said the funding “doesn’t cost the county anything” and that the foundation’s work may include legal review and assistance building the plan. The presenter also noted that nearby backcountry communities including Yellow Pine, Warren and “CSASH” are expecting improvements from a separate federal award Midvale Telephone received; the presenter said that award was “I think it’s $12,000,000,” attributing that figure to the meeting remarks rather than asserting it as a verified fact.

Commissioners conducted a voice vote; the motion passed by verbal “aye” with no roll‑call tally recorded in the meeting minutes. The county official said they would sign the MOU, send it back to Imagine Idaho and provide copies to the board once executed.

The planning grant is intended to guide how local providers and the county can leverage the incoming middle‑mile pipeline to expand broadband reach. No additional county funding or budget appropriation was recorded during the discussion.","Valley County commissioners approved a memorandum of understanding with the Imagine Idaho Foundation for an $81,000 broadband planning grant intended to map use of a new middle‑mile line; the county said the agreement carries no direct cost to taxpayers.","actionData","errors"]
