Manning said IIIA is a self-funded health trust created in 2011 by a group of cities; it covers about 6,500 members including dependents across 14 agencies in Idaho.

Key figures Manning reported: total program savings of nearly $2.3 million from new programs (including telehealth, maternity management, medication infusion programs, digital at-home physical therapy and Rx co-pay assistance); prescription rebates approaching $2 million for the year; a 16% increase in stop-loss premiums (catastrophic insurance the trust is required to buy under Idaho Department of Insurance rules); and 31 members who met the trust’s high-claimant threshold (claims above $100,000) during the plan year. Manning said one very large claim paid nearly $4.2 million and the trust received almost $4.0 million back from stop-loss coverage on that claim.

Manning highlighted utilization and program metrics: telehealth handled 4,185 calls in the year and—she said—avoided about $305,000 in additional urgent-care claims; EAP and mental-health services logged 2,794 EAP visits; the trust provided a first-responder helpline and seven critical incident debriefs; and 30 members received inpatient behavioral-health care last year (11 employees, 3 spouses and 16 children under 26). Manning said the trust’s mental-health program has grown quickly and last year became the largest benefit administered.

Manning said the trustees aim to manage inflation-driven medical trend (Idaho medical/drug inflation was given in the presentation at roughly 6–7.5% annually) and strive over five-year cycles to keep renewal increases below statewide medical inflation. She also described member-facing services: on-site wellness screenings (which identified elevated lipids and skin cancers in prior events), a CPAP/BiPAP program, and regional mental-health wellness teams to improve response times.

Councilors asked several follow-ups; Manning said trust staff will be available locally for questions and will hold the trustees’ quarterly meeting in Hayden the next day. Manning noted website changes and a new enrollment/billing system and encouraged councilors and residents to contact IIIA with benefit questions. No council action was requested or taken on the report.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Hayden City Council Meeting 2025-04-22","oneSentenceSummary","Amy Manning, executive director of IIIA, presented the trust’s annual report to the Hayden City Council, highlighting nearly $2.3 million in savings from new programs, membership growth to about 6,500 covered members, a 16% increase in stop-loss premiums, and expansion of mental-health services.","taxTitle","Hayden City, Kootenai County, Idaho","taxId",51752,"location","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6575567,"Hayden staff outlines proposed changes to area-of-impact map after Idaho law revisions",466,2398000,2864000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3090885-fb3ce2b44f2537c827fcc97d7b82eb05&start=2398&end=2864","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3090885-fb3ce2b44f2537c827fcc97d7b82eb05/thumbnail_2398000.jpg","/articles/6575567/Hayden-City/Kootenai-County/Idaho/Hayden-staff-outlines-proposed-changes-to-area-of-impact-map-after-Idaho-law-revisions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6575567-fc2229ca8a373b212fd679f0b73cc496/orig.mp4?Expires=1771212105&Signature=bCvVtiL7fC29SjY4nxLZO94KFr2HwlIRWz60bMfoxrCrC1hiFQ7qIjUbS4v677NdI-qv37qENR9qdAA3yWSDVNX-sorb1H3tE1XV3AFPJvN00zMK7HYvCNwxQSGysqHi~X~KsDTGMQjSb9r2r0Cu~5BQFoEhufIKo7fon8VIG38hcpvwy1~3g6cvl3L4Zz-RZaLeCgAvVeYvt4XsuxIum4SQ49TIaA3XQnr4Q3Eq-ShxVit7qBCkJnn4zC8ZEmeB0gAJWaE5y9FrIZgt~LG9g6JhGfMjYXOcBqLf2xC9x-8SO31AJACrZUufdvN5ThPJPwlM~7LBVP6LhX-4q71NGA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City planning staff briefed the Hayden City Council on April 22 about proposed revisions to the city’s area-of-impact map prompted by changes to Idaho law that took effect July 1 (state year not specified in transcript). The presentation was informational; staff said Planning & Zoning will hold a public hearing first, then the City Council will hold its hearing before the county makes a final decision.

Donna (planning staff) said the state statute changed the term from “area of city impact” to “area of impact” and removed the prior “shared tier/exclusive tier” structure. Under the revised statute, counties have primary authority to set the final area-of-impact boundary, and annexation statutes were also revised to greatly limit forced annexations: staff reported the annexation statute now requires two-thirds owner consent in certain instances and removed the prior implied-consent provision that had been a frequent source of litigation. Staff said these changes have caused confusion and that the current effort is to clarify Hayden’s anticipated five-year annexation area but not to initiate annexations themselves.

Staff presented a proposed map that removes some previously included parcels (for example, areas annexed by Dalton Gardens and parts of a Kootenai County park) and adds areas deemed more likely to be served by Hayden in the near term (the presentation identified a yellow/orange shaded proposal on the map). Staff noted specific pockets such as Emerald Estates (described in the meeting as fully developed but on septic and largely surrounded by city limits) and areas west of Hutter near the airport; rationale included service proximity and existing infrastructure. Donna emphasized that the changes are informational at this meeting; Planning & Zoning will hold a public hearing on May 5 and an executive summary will be posted to the city website in advance of the council public hearing. Staff said the county must approve final area-of-impact boundaries by Dec. 31, 2025.

Councilors and staff spent time explaining that the area-of-impact process does not itself force annexation, and staff said Hayden has not forcibly annexed properties during the staff member’s 28-year tenure. Staff encouraged councilors to act as communicators to neighbors about the distinction between area-of-impact designation (a planning boundary) and annexation (a separate process requiring owner request or consent). The presentation included a recommendation to remove pockets that are already served and maintained by other jurisdictions and to add enclaves where city services are the closest logical provider.","City planning staff described proposed adjustments to Hayden’s area of impact prompted by recent Idaho legislation that changes 'area of city impact' rules and gives counties final authority; Planning & Zoning will hold a public hearing May 5 and the county must approve new boundaries by Dec. 31, 2025.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6575571,"Hayden council directs mayor to negotiate new law-enforcement contract with Kootenai County Sheriff",543,3411000,3954000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3090885-fb3ce2b44f2537c827fcc97d7b82eb05&start=3411&end=3954","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3090885-fb3ce2b44f2537c827fcc97d7b82eb05/thumbnail_3411000.jpg","/articles/6575571/Hayden-City/Kootenai-County/Idaho/Hayden-council-directs-mayor-to-negotiate-new-law-enforcement-contract-with-Kootenai-County-Sheriff","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6575571-4871158d16f2bef10945471387b07868/orig.mp4?Expires=1771212105&Signature=ajNPB762XuZxVl658UZpNDqWUq5iVxqQzf7z3wQ-yH~IoXH0JPSnnypnj3Mkl8Juim0xq6UqUAuI57-PctM1roKIf-L9vU1P~op72FG8Ugu0b18R9Cb-w3JdAi42EuB-7DQQTyeHgAVUfeEhP4faVu2Se0-K1Tha6uGFmsKKIDApSYa33IpDEascfjpJZDjOTkVp3PjC3m78HL4KaRkDfPRfH~oL5qwE67AEXyILf31Q6UZp3GtxgYheYZ4fdlGeQZAudQt87rJ8a9e0gLmmLKAqN2caBA5qB0LSHWwhXQ2BMYLPH4KMpLC8bM7MAK~tf4dD9FK4-hVo9zKf5mkQQg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Hayden City Council on April 22 approved a motion authorizing Mayor Alan Davis to engage with the Kootenai County Sheriff to negotiate a draft FY2026 contract for law-enforcement services and bring a proposed contract back for council approval. The roll-call vote was unanimous.

Staff told the council they plan to renegotiate the contract around four priorities: staffing levels and how officers are deployed (manpower), eliminating specific references to a school resource officer in the contract, funding a lieutenant/quasi-police-chief position to provide on-site leadership, and strengthening accountability and reporting requirements. City staff said they will coordinate negotiations with the sheriff’s office and county commissioners and route draft language to county legal counsel as part of the review process.

Council members discussed the need for a shared vision for law enforcement and clearer numerical details on staffing and costs before finalizing a contract. Several councilors said they want to minimize increases to the city’s FY2026 budget; staff said the work is still in a negotiation phase and no final dollar figure has been proposed. One councilor noted that funds associated with an existing school resource officer position could be repurposed toward an internal lieutenant/chief role, but staff cautioned final cost implications remain to be worked out with the sheriff and county.

Staff said a working group would be formed to develop precise staffing and budget numbers and that the city’s counsel and county civil counsel would review any final draft. The mayor and staff said the goal is to maintain or improve current capabilities while guarding taxpayer dollars and seeking cost-effective arrangements.

The council directed staff to pursue talks and return with a draft contract for formal council consideration.","Council voted unanimously to authorize the mayor to negotiate a draft FY2026 law-enforcement contract with the Kootenai County Sheriff focusing on manpower, accountability, reporting and cost, and to return the draft to council for approval.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6575575,"Hayden council approves $2.10 million land purchase from Kootenai County for public works site",117,1200000,1317000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3090885-fb3ce2b44f2537c827fcc97d7b82eb05&start=1200&end=1317","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3090885-fb3ce2b44f2537c827fcc97d7b82eb05/thumbnail_1200000.jpg","/articles/6575575/Hayden-City/Kootenai-County/Idaho/Hayden-council-approves-210-million-land-purchase-from-Kootenai-County-for-public-works-site","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6575575-09312e594667c21d44b2018c61ccc04d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771212105&Signature=Nn4DR2VJjA6TaawM~x6kn~-E246Oq-Om7lTMG8NxfZ7Y3T6MHPVhdy1y36g-A2JwFwB3sqT2L2xZQ11HuUPwZZ3vp2df~W6K-UEkLwY9eSF6YdRhLamJjWPnYWk1Iw7gS3EU9upiyebjWDyBZoNHNSX2Ggt5W9EvQNon~Ouh8s21LWGvR8laHEq3CyGuTwJ2KL43fKhdU~E30KF3zQW0QD6q5i~m~IIwQob0zRZ2nLJXeIFEN9bU0dS1m5dmLZBqskau64VnSTcCPvm4jn9lE1DQFm5gN9uvXip~bHj7cypZuomGpQ5XZFFpZtA5g5Gq8S5zQC6lA1PN6H1J9fZnBw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Hayden City Council on April 22 authorized Mayor Alan Davis to sign a purchase-and-sale agreement with Kootenai County to acquire two parcels totaling 7.518 acres for a Public Works facility for $2,098,993. The motion passed by roll-call vote with all council members voting yes.

The matter had been discussed at prior council meetings; staff told the council a few typographical errors in the draft contract were corrected before final authorization. Council and staff said the county indicated a willingness to coordinate timing—allowing the city to use proceeds from the planned sale of a 5-acre Dakota Street property to help fund the purchase.

The authorization was moved during the unfinished business portion of the meeting. The purchase price was stated on the record as $2,098,993. Council discussion included confirmation that the contract template had been edited to remove an incorrect reference to a right-of-way acquisition.

The council approved the full consent calendar earlier in the meeting by the same unanimous roll call. That consent calendar included: approval of March 2025 meeting minutes and April 8 special and regular meeting minutes; a 2025 Breakthrough T1D ride event permit; a partial purchase and sale agreement for Leisure Park right-of-way related to the Honeysuckle/Ramsey intersection; change order No. 06c for the Ramsey Road gravity sewer and water main extension project (stormwater fixes discussed during consent, described as roughly $28,000 in additional stormwater work to address ponding at Lacey and Ramsey); written decision PZE 240129 (Hayden Skye PUD); authorization to publish the FY2025 Q2 financial report; and approval of bills for payment. The council took a single roll-call vote to adopt the consent calendar as presented; the same four council members voted yes.

The purchase-and-sale item is a contract-level action; the city attorney and county legal staff will complete the closing process after the mayor signs the agreement. Staff noted the county expressed flexibility on timing tied to the city’s Dakota Street property sale; the city characterized that arrangement as effectively a contingent sale tied to that closing.

The council did not set an implementation timeline during the public motion; next procedural steps are internal closing and title work before site preparation and any required permitting for a Public Works facility.","The Hayden City Council authorized the mayor to sign a purchase-and-sale agreement to acquire two Kootenai County parcels totaling about 7.518 acres for a new Public Works facility for $2,098,993; council approved the consent calendar that included several related items.","actionData","errors"]
