The county will place the item on the agenda next week for formal action and asked staff to draft a memorandum of understanding that will specify responsibilities and costs.

Tracy, speaking for Ignite Idaho, said the organization had consulted local partners and concluded child care should be the first priority. “Well, I've been talking to all of the community partners, both Cascade, Don Lane McCall, and we've realized the lack of childcare ... now we're realizing that the need and high demand for the child care, so we feel like we would put that in first,” she said. Tracy said the facility would operate as Ignite Idaho Early Learning Center and that an in-home child-care provider is willing to close her current operation and bring three experienced staff into the new space.

Commissioners noted the Community Center is shared with senior programming and a commercial kitchen. County staff said the building is about 6,000 square feet total and approximately half — roughly 3,000 square feet — could be used for the child-care operation. The current county tenant pays $5,000 a year (about $425 a month) in rent. Tracy said the group expects to renovate part of the space to meet licensing standards and is pursuing funding: she reported that community donor Jim Lamon has offered $50,000 toward the project.

The board discussed potential grant sources and partnerships including the West Central Mountains Early Learning Collaborative, Central District Health, Central Idaho Counseling, Youth Advocacy Coalition and the Workforce Development Council. A county official said Department of Commerce criteria for some grants emphasize maintaining a senior center; commissioners said staff should examine whether available grants could accommodate the shared-use plan.

Madam Chairwoman Logan said the item should have been listed as an action item at this meeting and directed staff to place it on next week's agenda: “It’s not an action item, which it should have been probably, but, we'll put on for next week, an action item that we can actually vote on this.” County staff said they will draft an MOU, review funding avenues and bring additional details for the commissioners to consider.

No formal lease or rental agreement was approved at the meeting. Commissioners asked staff to return with a business plan, draft MOU and that the county attorney review terms before a final decision. The transcript records no specific timeline for licensing, remodeling scope, or exact rent terms for a new tenant beyond the $5,000-a-year figure cited for the current occupant.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Valley County Board of County Commissioner Meeting June 30, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Tracy, representing Ignite Idaho, proposed using roughly half of the county-owned Community Center building to launch an Ignite Idaho Early Learning Center.

“No money's, were spent or received, so it's just a status update signature,” Schlegel said. He told the board, “We have 46,000 left in the grant, and I'm working with Scott on getting invoices for work being done currently through the end of this month, to be able to collect and and send off. So, yes, we can submit for the balance of what we spend, up to the 47,000.”

A commissioner moved to sign the quarterly federal financial report for USDA Woody Debris; the motion was seconded and approved on a voice vote. The transcript records the motion as moved and seconded and the chair called “Aye.” The record does not include a numeric roll-call tally.

Schlegel said he is coordinating with county staff to collect invoices for work completed through the end of the month so the county can submit reimbursement requests for the remaining grant funds.

The contract award followed a staff recommendation and a brief motion on the consent agenda.

Maraj, the county director for fire and land mitigation, presented the contract and told commissioners, “I have the contract for Elliot with Silver Creek Brush Management. He just won the bid for East McCall Unit 4, which was 19.9 acres, for a total of $29,850 for the project.” Maraj asked the board to sign the contractor agreement so the contractor could begin work on the parcel.

A commissioner moved to approve the agreement and a second was made. Madam Chairwoman Logan called the vote and said, “Moved and seconded all in favor? Aye.” The meeting record shows the motion passed; the transcript does not include a roll-call tally.

The contract covers brush removal and related fuel-mitigation work on the specified 19.9 acres in East McCall Unit 4. The agreement was presented as a standard contractor service arrangement; no additional conditions or amendments were recorded during the meeting.

No timeline for work start or completion, permit requirements, or project monitoring details were given on the record. Maraj offered to delay the signature if the commissioners preferred to wait, but the board approved the agreement so the contractor could begin work.","The Valley County Board of Commissioners approved a contractor service agreement with Silver Creek Brush Management for fuel-mitigation work on 19.9 acres in East McCall Unit 4 at a cost of $29,850.","actionData","errors"]
