The resolution directs the public-works engineer to work with parametric engineers to update cost estimates that would be used for development agreements and potential levy planning.

Planning and zoning director Cindy Herrick told the commission staff discovered the county had previously adopted a 2023 Roadway Capital Improvement Program resolution (23-04) but no longer performs development agreements in the same way; the new resolution renames the book to \"Valley County development agreement cost estimates for the Valley County Road System\" and provides an approach to update unit costs for road improvements. Commissioners moved, seconded and approved the resolution.

Separately, the commission approved a request to provide a county phone for Todd Costello (code compliance) so he can use a county line in the field instead of his personal number. Cindy Herrick said the phone cost is roughly $35 per month and that her department budget can absorb the expense. The motion to provide the county phone was moved, seconded and approved.

Herrick also told commissioners about a large mailout of notices for the McCall impact area; staff said roughly 1,500 notices will go to affected recipients and that publication in the newspaper will run the following two Thursdays. She asked commissioners to expect additional work on impact-area ordinances and comp-plan adjustments in July.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Valley County Board of County Commissioner Meeting June 9, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Valley County Commissioners adopted resolution 2025-12 to replace a 2023 roadway capital improvement reference with an updated development-agreement cost-estimates document and approved a county phone for code compliance staff.","taxTitle","Valley County, Idaho","taxId",51032,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":42,"_43":77,"_45":77,"_46":78,"_48":79,"_50":80,"_52":81,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":82,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":83,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6525030,"Facilities update: transfer-site construction proceeds, DEQ liner required; new solid-waste staff introduced",2510000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3798503-3a338bcfef321be2e1922675feb2547f&start=2510&end=2510","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3798503-3a338bcfef321be2e1922675feb2547f/thumbnail_2510000.jpg","/articles/6525030/Valley-County/Idaho/Facilities-update-transfer-site-construction-proceeds-DEQ-liner-required-new-solid-waste-staff-introduced","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6525030-4e6dc04a2bfbcc6b06f1f63fafac7d90/orig.mp4?Expires=1775336433&Signature=h8qTn1wpE9CICbniwjKOlPE49rR786R2gn~eUYrLVUQJAI5NoBqNcSQGICg-tSlY0G3P3gqrtIXi94Kc~bWJOSQCwV5Iz2kVwpjjUa5LW~fAtzl6Ci45FQrLgX9wEIdFBNsj365u6rQPQCksnPc74ysei-PbnsyVAsohZ569n~a9T~ppZRLI0qYJkKCd9bo3rlxIuzCZ2uHwp9gU6KITo7fiZdbsUs19q6DznxPTCX1FfExD4nZ2uBg7LcKSu5y6p07cDNXlsFW2lxeAdB9uNuCI07DKZtauoeTBlVSl-Sk4Kykc9p4I2U7oZuQbQzSbj95fqz4ZVcFMaYLG2X6ziQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Valley County facilities and solid-waste staff updated commissioners on ongoing work at the county transfer site on June 9 and introduced new solid-waste staff member Terry Canada, who the county said began work that day.

Facilities staff reported that footings for the Z wall were poured and that the temporary transfer site will require a buried pond-style liner under a prepared sand base at DEQ’s request; the county has purchased a liner and will install it per the regulator’s conditions. Staff said they have multiple pending change orders, including additional liner work, structural footers for snow sheds, repainting and sandblasting of columns, relocation of a fuel system pad and other items.

Staff outlined the temporary site layout: roll-off containers with covers and lighting will be used for household loads, and a separate building (when completed) will be used for large commercial haulers. Temporary site staging, erosion and containment measures were discussed; staff said they will manage material containment and consider eco-blocks or stacked concrete barriers. Commissioners and facilities staff discussed scheduling major pours tied to planned site closures (for example, Juneteenth) and additional bids for sidewalk replacement and capital improvements (bulletproof wall/glass for the sheriff’s department were mentioned as forthcoming capital improvement requests).

Facilities director Scott (surname not stated) introduced new employee Terry Canada and said IT and onboarding were in process. There was no formal vote recorded for the personnel introduction.","Valley County facilities staff updated commissioners on transfer-site construction progress, required DEQ conditions including a buried liner for the temporary site, several pending change orders and introduced new solid-waste staff member Terry Canada.",{"_33":85,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":86,"_41":87,"_43":88,"_45":89,"_46":90,"_48":91,"_50":92,"_52":93,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":94,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":95,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6525035,"Recreation director says $200,000 donor offer could seed Warm Lake groomer project; Horse Thief business plan to be reviewed",186,1068000,1254000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3798503-3a338bcfef321be2e1922675feb2547f&start=1068&end=1254","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3798503-3a338bcfef321be2e1922675feb2547f/thumbnail_1068000.jpg","/articles/6525035/Valley-County/Idaho/Recreation-director-says-200000-donor-offer-could-seed-Warm-Lake-groomer-project-Horse-Thief-business-plan-to-be-reviewed","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6525035-089e6d50ff466f9da017513cef849be6/orig.mp4?Expires=1775336433&Signature=VJFK13wC5ERJbhAiKKFEx3AZ1vbJmWF0ZCG2Bp7Us6hc-ZuOJOxtIdvYcywkCDYPgAKTHOTnRewNhCDuIh-sbuBy6sT72DgRxq5Sd4JZ-xyvoPNMSqF2sQ5kukfLdYkeCLnlyXMWOq0-D7SqlzIHz5Wc0pDcPstX6L8kU~Dc~EXTh6AKUI9o9FfCpyZmrc39n0yk2GPu9-z8jOJfhJfpqWKqPpnmZvXQn6DpTvwPgO977LEXrUDHQhJPPgXYXGms3Jb8EhRQxQhk220peeGJzg3AaV2iShTUVwuZCrZVJrlKiQimDsREG1g7IOJpzHjS0TKm-Na5KaUsN8EmH9rZlw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Valley County Recreation Director Larry Lacks told commissioners on June 9 that a private donor has offered $200,000 toward purchasing a permanent snow groomer to be based at Warm Lake, and that the county cannot move forward with grant applications until the donation is secured in writing.

Lacks said the county may use a Forest Service campground as storage and that the donation would serve as a match for grants. He characterized groomer costs as significant, citing an on-record estimate: \"We're running around 400,000,\" which he used to explain why the $200,000 would be a material contribution toward a larger purchase or match for a grant application.

Lacks also discussed trail maintenance plans, including trail remarking in burned areas (Anderson Creek, Sheep area) and a research project to evaluate shifting plow responsibility on Clear Creek’s lower six miles to an alternate higher trail to preserve low-elevation groomed trail access. He said staff will ride the alternative route to evaluate feasibility and that a grooming budget will be submitted after July 1 when county numbers are available.

On parking, Lacks said the county is working to move a launch-parking fence out about 15 feet to create additional vehicle space and reduce overflow onto adjacent private property. He said the recreation advisory board and staff will pursue signage to educate users about private-property boundaries.

Lacks said the recreation advisory board has prepared a business plan for taking over operations at Horse Thief (the plan will be emailed to commissioners); he recommended a work session including Idaho Fish and Game and the advisory committee to review the plan. Commissioners agreed the plan should be circulated and followed by a work session.

No formal vote was required for the discussion items; Lacks asked the commission to note that items will come back for action once grant or donation details are finalized.","Valley County Recreation Director Larry Lacks reported a $200,000 donor offer toward a permanent groomer at Warm Lake, told commissioners of parking and trail-safety projects and said a business plan for taking over the Horse Thief site will be circulated for a work session with Fish and Game and the recreation advisory board.",{"_33":97,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":98,"_41":99,"_43":100,"_45":101,"_46":102,"_48":103,"_50":104,"_52":105,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":106,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":107,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6525040,"Commissioners approve Boise State evacuation survey, extend Mitchell Excavations contract and fund 44 Firewise grants",468,1663000,2131000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3798503-3a338bcfef321be2e1922675feb2547f&start=1663&end=2131","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3798503-3a338bcfef321be2e1922675feb2547f/thumbnail_1663000.jpg","/articles/6525040/Valley-County/Idaho/Commissioners-approve-Boise-State-evacuation-survey-extend-Mitchell-Excavations-contract-and-fund-44-Firewise-grants","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6525040-92e711a6b7a4d626e8b0cd0d0248bb2a/orig.mp4?Expires=1775336433&Signature=RO-Ip1Q06uPCz4WB3p~nvSCrx3Uy4oA8fpW~ECi6AEw6L4sFSnpoNJhizyabmFt-NjjhJO8RlebqyXjUthoWppKokj-8Xi53dIDQco~cTCaBWAEYaQ1xf1IGC9U9eObLo1cGROzkkiftvi7O3zFMsDMT96TbTpWDY-7uomUFSxG1wMDCYzWrCSe1IMQfn6emzIYdPJgeOubNJZM06FWo7xMiuAMpuxXkaPm-fkgCYFS7pVas3d8d8NenTUZlMeKmTwDug91n0lgvAXQAnlwwr94XvnPDrkmjA1ThUZe-3Oby~YoHXu4~G3VHMcnIEx7szsyIkhb-AcLg9WQuXZAolQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At the June 9 meeting Valley County Commissioners approved multiple items from the county’s fire-mitigation program: an extension of a contractor deadline, county participation in a Boise State University (BSU) evacuation survey, two landowner agreements, and the awarding of 44 Firewise grants from 70 applications.

Fire mitigation director Mara told commissioners that Jeffrey Miller Excavations’ contract would be extended to June 30 to allow completion after a late snow and wetter spring. The commission moved, seconded and approved the one-month extension.

Mara asked for approval to distribute an evacuation survey prepared by Boise State University that will carry the Valley County logo. She said BSU will mail the survey to landowners in the zones that evacuated during last year’s wildfire and will also host an online survey option. Commissioners approved the county’s participation and the use of the county logo; Mara described the survey as a tool to evaluate whether social media, CodeRED and other channels provided adequate evacuation information and to inform future planning and grant opportunities.

Mara presented two landowner agreements—one referenced as \"Andher Durie\" for work near Kings Pine and one tied to an East McCall parcel off Elo Road (referred to as \"East McCall Claro\" during the meeting). Commissioners approved both landowner agreements and Mara said more acreage amendments will follow when parcels are finalized.

On the Firewise grant program, commissioners approved funding for 44 projects from a total of 70 applications, a program Mara said has run five years. If all funded work is completed as proposed, the funded grants would cover about 118 acres. Mara said the county allocated funds to community efforts, including work adjacent to a heavily used trail near Leisure Park in Cascade (noted as a City of Cascade project). She reported 21 awarded grants in the Cascade area this year, six in Donnelly and 17 in McCall and said the program is seeking sustainable funding options as federal allocations are uncertain.

Actions recorded: the commission approved the one-month contract extension for Jeffrey Miller Excavations, authorized the Boise State evacuation study with the county logo, approved two landowner agreements, and approved the 2025 Valley County Firewise grantees. Each motion was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.

Mara and commissioners noted the outputs of the BSU survey could support future emergency funding requests and help guide evacuation routing improvements, including West Mountain Road concerns.","Valley County approved a Boise State University evacuation survey to be mailed to landowners, extended a contractor deadline, approved two landowner agreements and funded 44 Firewise grants out of 70 applications, covering an estimated 118 acres if completed.",{"_33":109,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":110,"_41":111,"_43":112,"_45":113,"_46":114,"_48":115,"_50":116,"_52":117,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":118,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":119,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6525045,"Valley County commissioners approve sheriff requests, sign Thunderbolt tower permit and allow temporary dispatcher PTO payouts",208,355000,563000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3798503-3a338bcfef321be2e1922675feb2547f&start=355&end=563","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3798503-3a338bcfef321be2e1922675feb2547f/thumbnail_355000.jpg","/articles/6525045/Valley-County/Idaho/Valley-County-commissioners-approve-sheriff-requests-sign-Thunderbolt-tower-permit-and-allow-temporary-dispatcher-PTO-payouts","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6525045-648d744aa460b88f4f713566d8201e85/orig.mp4?Expires=1775336433&Signature=K1iQq5DXP-7Poy~VxylM1eeDysHf9fA8XrzbsK4p0slAYUqhinRM-iFKNm-DESC0X6G0HM7wQQ6wHJo2hGMaz6SOpiSEJV0W8IhicUIdJ-uqHHJLWCQjfts1Zb1n6paKscUgvjRjFg~P6Rmsqj0sMFJIs2QJDYVkKuiT~x9SU4hVI02YNYRGG1aA8a8opUEK37mka3aTHJgHmnRycikttb~LE9RfiFj0wYOpRawH4urhXXHWzhtNl5AuTgcWcqbWWpQjVi~t0OWS-GwcECDCg8sgusnQr1dWNB103slBnYCPW4JssO5B0I6hG8lwo1RJXM~stS0NwBH-GDWrYPiicg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Valley County Commissioners approved several requests from the sheriff’s office at their June 9 meeting, including a modification to an existing service-patrol grant, renewal of radio repeater arrangements with the U.S. Forest Service, execution of a special-use permit for the Thunderbolt radio tower and a temporary policy to allow dispatch employees to cash out paid-time-off (PTO) until dispatcher staffing reaches 80 percent.

The modification to the service-patrol grant was described by Sheriff Perry as a continuation with no increase in funding; he said the county will begin billing in July for the extended service. Perry told commissioners that equipment and manpower costs remain high and that staffing in some units remains thin. The commission moved and approved the grant modification.

Commissioners also approved continuation of long-standing radio repeater arrangements with the U.S. Forest Service. Perry said the repeaters have been in place for years and that the county incurs no direct cost for the extended lease.

The commission signed a special-use permit described at the meeting as related to the Thunderbolt tower, a high-elevation radio site the sheriff’s office uses to reach remote areas beyond Big Creek Summit, including approaches toward Yellow Pine and Deadwood. Sheriff Perry noted the site is solar/battery powered and requires helicopter access for maintenance. The motion to approve the special-use permit was moved, seconded and approved.

On staffing, commissioners approved a countywide accommodation requested by the sheriff’s office to let dispatch employees choose to be paid out their PTO until the county reaches an 80 percent dispatcher staffing level. County discussion said dispatch had four certified dispatchers currently on duty, three in training and additional candidates in background checks; training to full solo dispatch certification was described as roughly nine to 10 months. The commission approved the temporary payout policy, with the intention that it would sunset when the 80 percent staffing benchmark is met.

Actions recorded at the meeting indicate the commission voted to: approve the service-patrol grant modification, approve the special-use permit as presented, and approve a temporary PTO payout policy for dispatch staff until 80 percent staffing is achieved. Each motion was moved, seconded and approved \"all in favor.\"","Valley County Commissioners on June 9 approved a grant modification for service patrols, extended use of Forest Service radio repeaters, signed a special-use permit for the Thunderbolt radio tower and agreed to allow dispatchers to cash out PTO until dispatcher staffing reaches 80 percent.","actionData","errors"]
