Scott said the event staff is carrying heavy workloads during a run of summer concerts and that the county should consider a one‑grade pay increase for two positions to recognize CDL responsibilities. He told commissioners the grade bump would cost about $2,974 per person plus benefits. \"Our folks are just busting their butts and I take it personal,\" Scott said, describing full‑time staff shouldering significant extra hours during concert runs.

He told the commission his overtime budget is typically $10,000 and that the department likely needs an additional $10,000 to cover sheriff patrol costs incurred while shows are running. Scott said the center hosted 11 concerts this year and described a programming goal of roughly 15–20 concerts annually to help the venue become a self‑sustaining regional destination; he and commissioners discussed the tradeoffs between pursuing more shows and the county’s labor and subsidy needs.

Scott explained how concert routing and promoter holds can compress events into short windows, increasing consecutive work days and overtime. He said the venue had a mix of show arrangements this year, including a venue rental, a 50/50 split show and other guaranteed acts; he noted the county sometimes gets favorable guarantees compared with the artist’s average market take. He recommended the county explore scheduling practices, temporary staffing levels and one‑time funding to smooth the burden on full‑time employees.

Commissioners discussed comp‑time caps, the difficulty of hiring stable temporary staff in prior years, and the option of using one‑time money to cover nonrecurring overtime. No formal vote was recorded; commissioners said they would continue budget review and discuss salaries later in executive session.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","07/28/2025 Bannock County Commissioners - FY26 Budget Meetings","oneSentenceSummary","The county event center manager asked the commission to reclassify two assistant park coordinators to require CDLs and move them to a higher pay grade, and requested more overtime funding after an unusually concentrated summer concert schedule increased staff comp time and patrol costs.","taxTitle","Bannock County, Idaho","taxId",5618,"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},6584840,"Landfill manager proposes cameras, kiosks and delays hiring third scale‑house worker pending automation",670,590000,1260000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5487162-95e58175839831470e02369d823123b7&start=590&end=1260","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5487162-95e58175839831470e02369d823123b7/thumbnail_590000.jpg","/articles/6584840/Bannock-County/Idaho/Landfill-manager-proposes-cameras-kiosks-and-delays-hiring-third-scalehouse-worker-pending-automation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6584840-afe1641cb32de93bbf8de904714490bd/orig.mp4?Expires=1773584043&Signature=cwYLKth-Wa5RZAAvmSPcpGoeeqH7vpiPvk3LqOz7MTTj4awuyg9Mm6H7C3mHhN-XVu0Y2BHUW2m7BEtZvBWBAw7QoY12xvm6bQdUS6uCwxe7tIONlM01z7Ai2ryyAb5FZMTv9KXvUUYZ1Zv-gUvVv2VVmH9YVkj8P2DvRg36zapVNVf3JkYuHDr~9fmuqABKKBVxrSTMWcjPIsC-CqlpvC2IrkHioPIbCorrHt9FLVSGPw0nJAtzsdZbLzH0VXIgr2d-pShELC7MqwCrdj2z5QKVXQnoGP7qWPJrFASSX7shQJhuY2jnb86rk3F-bh5tXG~ZND-H-HTKaWgj25zU1g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Dylan Evans, landfill manager for Bannock County, told commissioners on July 28 that new scale houses planned at the county landfill could be automated to handle many commercial transactions and improve load inspections, potentially reducing the immediate need for a third full‑time scale‑house employee.

Evans said roughly 40% of landfill transactions—commercial accounts with routable truck IDs—could be automated through a kiosk and batch processing, allowing those customers to weigh in and depart without a staff attendant. He told the board he wants to include overhead cameras in the new scale‑house design so staff can visually inspect loads remotely. \"I do wanna incorporate with the new scale houses to have overhead camera to look in,\" Evans said. \"That's one thing that I do wanna incorporate with the new scale houses to have overhead camera to look in.\" He added that a camera feed could be monitored from the office and help catch obvious contamination up front.

Evans estimated the cost of the additional scales and kiosks at roughly $300,000–$400,000; much of the project cost is for the scales themselves. He said commercial accounts that can be routed through the system would be able to print their own tickets at a kiosk and depart, while most other customers would still require load inspection.

Commissioners asked whether the automation would reduce staffing needs. One commissioner told the board, \"I think we're a year early in on an employee,\" and recommended the county allow time to implement new scale technology and monitor usage before adding a full‑time position. Evans confirmed remote inspection and a card‑only outbound lane are feasible design options but said the project as currently budgeted did not include money for an additional scale and kiosk on the outbound lane.

No formal hiring decision or vote was recorded during the presentation. Evans said he is interested in pursuing overhead cameras and other automation that could improve safety and efficiency; commissioners asked staff to consider timing and funding while balancing current employee wage adjustments and other county priorities.","Landfill manager Dylan Evans described plans to automate parts of the scale house using kiosks and overhead cameras, and county officials suggested delaying hiring a new full‑time scale‑house worker until system use and billing data are clearer.",{"_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},6584844,"Bannock County historical society seeks seasonal hire, proposes simpler fee split",524,55000,579000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5487162-95e58175839831470e02369d823123b7&start=55&end=579","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5487162-95e58175839831470e02369d823123b7/thumbnail_55000.jpg","/articles/6584844/Bannock-County/Idaho/Bannock-County-historical-society-seeks-seasonal-hire-proposes-simpler-fee-split","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6584844-d97bd8e8898c83a78b805f9cb4c9cf5b/orig.mp4?Expires=1773584043&Signature=h8l~haLUvLTK63D~TdDmRX23hXTuuits-U9gfavP8gsK~HIjQzpD31VSSLlLlv8T0rgpA~2P8ejC~ydA-4wt7rIavsCY2zziHiBclicICvj0KFaykdYzKXs48dwSYK6LHKZhls8Og5uF4~XR8vSZOh7DQIl-jg6dbQYmA6eG35QXEfXBiANq3~ju4rD-pdRkDvQH2wPBTUVTaVlXWARyMRsA~q7tgZbXautz3AlGze5BZysZ1tDrqD6lP1pNcRldaVM1sgY5DwoQxA3-7L0y~283h3YQrRbonlLdCB0weh1H31gzQWAX6E2VaKbrSbqH0RpVHPacjgs0c8PA799BrA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Mr. Eisenhower, a representative of the Bannock County Historical Society, told the Bannock County Board of Commissioners on July 28 that the society wants to simplify how admissions revenue is divided and hire one seasonal employee to cover heavy summer visitation.

Eisenhower said the society proposes moving to an 80%/20% split of all income in favor of the museum, replacing a more detailed, transaction‑by‑transaction allocation used in prior years. \"80% of everything goes to the museum,\" he said. He told commissioners much of the museum’s revenue arrives during a concentrated May–September season and argued the simpler split would reduce bookkeeping burdens.

The request to the commission included funding for a part‑time, seasonal worker paid about $15 per hour from May through September, which Eisenhower estimated would cost roughly $12,000 for the season. He said the hiring plan was intended to avoid adding a permanent third staff member; according to the materials he provided, roughly 60% of annual admissions and related income occur in the summer months and school groups accounted for nearly 1,000 fourth‑grade visits this year.

Eisenhower also noted the Fort Hall replica is a significant out‑of‑state draw; he said a 50‑person group from Brigham Young University would visit the museum this week. He told commissioners the City of Oakdale currently handles much of the fort’s maintenance and yard work but that the society could not place a firm dollar value on that municipal support.

Commissioners asked routine clarifying questions about the society’s financial breakout and copy distribution for the record. Eisenhower said he would provide copies of his materials to county staff and asked the commission for its consideration. No formal vote or other action on funding was recorded during the public presentation.

The commission signaled it would review the proposal alongside other budget items; officials said they would follow up with the historical society after further review.","A representative for the Bannock County Historical Society asked commissioners to approve a seasonal part‑time hire and to simplify the organization’s revenue split so the museum can cover increased summer traffic and school tours.","actionData","errors"]
