Commissioner Corn reported authorized inspections and photographs after the board could not visit the site as a full board due to noticing constraints. He said risk and another commissioner identified immediate safety issues at the swine wash rack and that he had removed exposed screws and nails ahead of the fair. He noted fire hydrants at the site were in poor condition, with perhaps only one of four functioning and not well, and recommended prioritizing hydrant work.

Corn described other needs: grading and drainage around the parking lot to mitigate flooding; commercial doors on the main building that do not lock and may require a commercial door company bid; and a rear deck made of composite decking that is uneven and could be a safety issue for disabled attendees. He suggested replacing the deck with concrete and regrading to reduce interior flooding on the north side of the main building.

Risk manager Christian Jocelyn also inspected the site and noted the fair board-built stadium seating had saved tens of thousands by building to manufacturer instructions and that the seating \"passed\" inspection and was built to a high standard.

Public comment raised concerns about fair fees and a forthcoming public hearing on rate increases; a resident urged greater public participation at that hearing. Commissioners said they will continue dialogue with the fair board, work through legal questions about responsibilities, and prioritize infrastructure and safety items in future budget conversations.","Commissioners discussed recent site inspections of fairgrounds buildings and prioritized infrastructure repairs and safety concerns ahead of the county fair.",{"_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},6493475,"Bonner County defers decision on contract with Boundary Security for juvenile bedside transport",614,1369000,1983000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5565136-f29018a6cc55685557f5a0e13dde01ab&start=1369&end=1983","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5565136-f29018a6cc55685557f5a0e13dde01ab/thumbnail_1369000.jpg","/articles/6493475/Bonner-County/Idaho/Bonner-County-defers-decision-on-contract-with-Boundary-Security-for-juvenile-bedside-transport","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6493475-b6a9ee3ffd68b7e8c292d8139554f1f9/orig.mp4?Expires=1771011763&Signature=SevHcqJKkKe~BNsg8JtSYX9cWixa7JdTO2w6a6yoZfg1qYNl1-VlL8QNRJp8WeZUkFWGQXwhBQPINJVpVE0svfBhO77U9wAhQZfPhwmRfumYPxvXO8yD4u~nXeZhxdzoAN0b~OrUhyObCNKO1AbCjH7mmks9bqg3rRSoyRaVkrnG~Uoy5TBH6l8s6ZKUZn3PHCwrRBpQcIkIMu1wyqxk6Qn3vAerw5RcWmbjor4d1CBX2X5lhHeQwdhUIsPZ9t6H7XQxyNffSEuwGhp3zDuXq98awyegX9RzLan7sMA4mI4suB3HLYiR-IbEQbCQBg6zap9rHe8y69ywmLkk5UqgOA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The board declined to approve a proposed emergency services contract with Boundary Security for juvenile bedside transport and monitoring and asked staff to return with clearer contract language on travel and mileage charges.

John Stulz, director of Justice Services, said the agreement would allow use of Boundary Security for rare emergency situations when staff are unavailable to provide bedside monitoring at a hospital. He said the vendor\u000027s hourly rate in the agreement is $36 per hour on a regular day and $54 per hour on a holiday, plus reimbursable travel expenses stated at $0.75 per mile.

Commissioners raised questions about whether the county would pay mileage from the vendor\u000027s home base (Boundary County) to Bonner County sites and whether the contract should limit mileage charges to travel incurred once the vendor is on Bonner County premises. Commissioner Corn said the distinction matters because county employees are not paid for commute time from their homes, but contractors often charge door-to-door. Several commissioners asked staff to seek a contract modification limiting reimbursable mileage to travel while on county assignments or to specify the mileage calculation.

Commissioner Corn moved to decline approval of the contract at this meeting and ask that the item be brought back next Tuesday with the requested clarification; the motion passed. Public comment included contractors and residents urging the board to scrutinize costs; a resident noted it is common for contractors to charge door-to-door travel but supported getting clearer contract language before approval.

Justice Services will return with clarifications on mileage and travel expense language before the board takes a final vote.","The board declined to approve a proposed contract with Boundary Security for juvenile hospital services and directed staff to return next week with clarification on mileage and travel charge language.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6493479,"Bonner County reallocates $100,000 in solid waste budget to repairs and vehicle maintenance",252,1096000,1348000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5565136-f29018a6cc55685557f5a0e13dde01ab&start=1096&end=1348","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5565136-f29018a6cc55685557f5a0e13dde01ab/thumbnail_1096000.jpg","/articles/6493479/Bonner-County/Idaho/Bonner-County-reallocates-100000-in-solid-waste-budget-to-repairs-and-vehicle-maintenance","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6493479-dd6a11b7eddccfb82a43892f78fcfb63/orig.mp4?Expires=1771011763&Signature=i4MPVeojQEuO62tHRwzPm7UN6DDkAumDUQJtnThGHbrJ~AluWkrMDNNtScAJD4NziJRsCHiWDXumGwvQfKhf2hF6HrKAJlgROm5Tsks05ofudR4fep4gBYIn5UFqOB6V8Fb-qkjV1V3Bp-mGb~-uMCJrH-A26mrV3aoPNPTjlLmupMtX4JBDDe85CvSLUUu9W0DhFVfYhAWUH1-XvRm3Uy~ySfLNwX2rJbNpi6L-6cQLRGgHKUFZoSNnXP1sLXWxmmXS8G-h~kFCsk57khOdsfNjAhrH8imEeZIzBF9YyCbKJshxZJbgMUCVldbx-iEkQWMT3gdIaBj3zFZgysTccw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Bonner County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved Resolution 2025-50 to reallocate $100,000 in the solid waste budget to address maintenance and repair needs.

Jessica, the county comptroller, introduced the claims earlier and the solid waste director told the board the reallocation moves $60,000 to site repairs and maintenance (account 0237530), $38,000 to vehicle maintenance and repairs (account 0237040) and $2,000 to tipping floor maintenance (account 0237423). The director said the transfers will allow the department to complete necessary repairs during the fiscal year and noted the change was reviewed by legal, auditing and risk.

The director outlined examples of work covered by the reallocation: installing a culvert for stormwater mitigation at a site that flooded last year; concrete repair and replacement of eco blocks and walls at sites including Duford and Dickensheet; and setting aside funds for tipping floor repairs where concrete walls and surfaces are wearing and could become safety hazards.

The board moved and approved the resolution. The motion on the record read: \"Based on the information before us, I move to approve resolution number 2025-50: the reallocation of $100,000 from line item 023-9470, capital land improvements to the following line items $60,000 to 023-7530, $38,000 to 023-7040 and $2,000 to 023-7423.\" Roll call recorded the motion as passing.","The County approved Resolution 2025-50 moving $100,000 from capital land improvements into site repairs, vehicle maintenance and tipping floor maintenance for the solid waste division.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6493484,"Bonner County approves purchase of three sheriff pickup trucks after moving consent agenda",2434,953000,3387000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5565136-f29018a6cc55685557f5a0e13dde01ab&start=953&end=3387","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5565136-f29018a6cc55685557f5a0e13dde01ab/thumbnail_953000.jpg","/articles/6493484/Bonner-County/Idaho/Bonner-County-approves-purchase-of-three-sheriff-pickup-trucks-after-moving-consent-agenda","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6493484-d3886510d955683f54bf94142c55e598/orig.mp4?Expires=1771011763&Signature=RP-Y~2f~VV0AKd74S1cIkBhyhHLcbfOj0-wwdtk4MYYdXkXgzZH9ysXnHmG8~vQh0VanifeNQgaUoMOWBoJloGklFaxSN0iVgLmcFwJlBZHQdpVk2hJuy7H8d8DZKMRW4K2NNG-Rk2OVRShGk3e9gp0NrQdJmMtGu3Gbyvrg0nLfovjIWzdquKDgKlaw6P0GQChbHo~SFuoFftxBk56kj9AYZ7temUkj4EQv0VHWYjrnTYUK7lNP5vJzj1R0oxXRtbgTpKUYPFM1-zMtFhpnFzZzDPwiJVv43mouiZXEdQplzfsHftCnUEwfZABeK2nG2D0vZzsND3PiJzu3Uro65A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Bonner County Board of Commissioners voted to amend its agenda to take up the consent agenda after other business, then approved the consent agenda that included the sheriff\u000027s vehicle purchase request.

The board first debated whether an invoice and vehicle purchase request from the sheriff\u000027s office should be pulled from the consent agenda for separate discussion. Commissioners cited the item as time-sensitive and said they wanted the sheriff or a representative present to answer questions. Commissioner Williams said it would be \"wise to have the sheriff's office present the item\" because \"it's a significant purchase,\" and asked that the item be discussed rather than simply approved in a batch.

Legal counsel Bill Wilson advised that items on the consent agenda may be pulled for discussion and still be approved as part of the packet if the board is satisfied after questioning. After debate and an unsuccessful effort to remove the sheriff\u000027s invoice from the consent agenda, the board voted to amend the order of the agenda so the consent agenda would be considered after BOCC items; the motion passed on roll call.

Sheriff Wheeler (present later in the meeting) told the commissioners the request was to \"approve the purchase of 3, Chevy, 4 door short bed, 4 wheel drive, service vehicles\" for patrol and estimated the cost at roughly \"$46-ish each.\" He said the vehicles were available through Taylor and Sons on state contract but were not on-site, and the dealership could not hold them indefinitely without board approval.

Commissioners and members of the public asked questions about fleet strategy and mileage. The sheriff described a shift away from Tahoe-style patrol vehicles toward pickups for payload, clearance and operational reasons and said the newer 4-cylinder turbo pickups were averaging a little better fuel economy than the older Tahoes, though still under 20 mpg in heavy use.

After the sheriff\u000027s presentation and public comment, a motion was made and the board approved the consent agenda as presented, which included the vehicle purchases. The invoice referenced earlier in the meeting was described by a commissioner as \"Taylor and Sons at $139,263.30,\" which aligns with the sheriff\u000027s description of three vehicles priced in the mid-$40,000 range.

The board also agreed to put future vehicle purchases on the regular agenda when possible to allow fuller discussion.

The discussion over the consent agenda placement, the sheriff\u000027s explanation for the type of vehicle sought and the subsequent approval completed without recorded amendments to the purchase request. The board did not specify a follow-up implementation timeline during the meeting.","After debate over placement of a sheriff\u000027s invoice on the consent agenda, the Bonner County Board of Commissioners moved the consent block, heard the sheriff and approved the purchase of three pickup trucks from Taylor and Sons.","actionData","errors"]
