IT Director Mr. Wilcox told commissioners the proposal began with the front door already converted and that departments identified four internal doors that would benefit from badge access; he and commissioners identified a back stairwell door as a likely additional candidate, bringing the total to five. Mr. Wilcox described the locations as doors between the public lobby and interior hallways that access the assessor, planning and zoning, DMV and break-room areas.

\"Carrying around a bunch of keys to try and get in your doors, that really doesn't work,\" Mr. Wilcox said, arguing badge access is both more secure and easier to control. Commissioner Caldwell said the installation is costly but added that, from a security standpoint, it is reasonable to have locked access to back-office areas: \"It's a lot of money. I wish this would have been budgeted for in the beginning. But I think on a security side, it's not a bad idea to have, a spot where people can go behind a locked door easily.\"

Mr. Wilcox gave a preliminary cost range of about $3,000 to $6,000 per door depending on required components, which led the board to estimate total installation costs of roughly $20,000 to $30,000 for four or five doors. Commissioners discussed funding the project from remaining ARPA funds but said staff would confirm available balances. Board members asked staff to return with an updated, official quote and to review the very back door from the stairwell in person to confirm whether the county needs four or five doors.

Commissioner move and second were not recorded by name in the transcript; the motion was made and seconded, and the board recorded two audible \"Aye\" votes and carried the motion. Staff will obtain final quotes and report back before work begins.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Valley County Board of County Commissioner Meeting August 20, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Valley County Board authorized up to five badge-access doors for interior and back-stair doors at the Cascade Annex to improve security and convenience; estimated cost range discussed was $20,000–$30,000 and staff will return with firm quotes.","taxTitle","Valley County, Idaho","taxId",51032,"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},6504489,"Valley County to draft MOU allowing Ignite Idaho to operate senior center and child care space in Cascade",88,128000,216785,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5607375-23c5763d9387e3960896e8460ffab600&start=128&end=216","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5607375-23c5763d9387e3960896e8460ffab600/thumbnail_128000.jpg","/articles/6504489/Valley-County/Idaho/Valley-County-to-draft-MOU-allowing-Ignite-Idaho-to-operate-senior-center-and-child-care-space-in-Cascade","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6504489-6f5286225878dfffe897b82045e4aab8/orig.mp4?Expires=1775881063&Signature=Uzbh5G~issuuLh3xSbhSfp5mrRRBOnhnFstNxEI5Jn2EB7QxysLlZjwJ7-rQYtiN3EndQHU7JWCeTthZiPKcew4py0ERA~QQLV8KIVrgZGuLn48KWJuL~t~fUPxilZLLi~75rVB5oc~jeRVCumo2dBqCHrXnr~qcYHs--fGjfcwzwIZ7C7xUUuJEY-hYeaL5DKwuy1AAb9ieGHjugDSuK54yAIPhjGpgd1aj4ZWkYJtkZimAy9RaR09H7KWySDZwca5Z0FQFxMFdTbEQwrIbkOZn2Oyk0LBeYzKbrzTXW-C4NnXwuop7vlT5lcCY5y6pg5UOhPu4W94mptDsqI7Lmg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Valley County commissioners on Aug. 20 agreed to instruct staff to draft a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that would allow Ignite Idaho Family Resource Center to occupy the county-owned building in Cascade and operate a child care center, youth assessment services and family resource functions while preserving senior-center programming.

County leaders said the senior center has been closed for about a year and that reopening a licensed child care program is urgent for Cascade’s workforce. Ignite Idaho representatives told commissioners they would take over the entire building, charge $1,000 a month in rent for the organization’s side, and coordinate a calendar so the senior center could continue lunches and programming on its portion once the church now using part of the site vacates in December.

\"We are in full support of our senior community. Our seniors are very important to us,\" said Madam chairman during the discussion, which opened when staff explained the church occupying adjacent space had delayed an earlier move-out. Ignite Idaho said it has completed required building upgrades for fire inspection and is awaiting Central District Health for licensing of the child care operations.

Commissioners and staff discussed the allocation of maintenance, utilities and other operating costs. County staff said the county would remain responsible for major building systems and exterior structure repairs while tenant improvements (for example, interior painting) would fall to the tenant. Commissioners said that because Ignite Idaho would occupy the entire building for the proposed monthly rent, the organization should cover utilities, snow removal and routine interior maintenance. The county said it would have buildings and grounds inspect the facility and produce a written condition report.

County staff said the county’s grant writer will investigate whether the building’s changed use under a joint MOU might strengthen eligibility for Idaho Department of Commerce grants, including possible furnace replacement funds that had been discussed when the site was considered for senior-only use. Ignite Idaho said it would also seek private or donated short-term storage if seniors need to move belongings before the church vacates in December; county staff said no county storage is currently available.

Commissioners directed staff and county attorneys to begin drafting the MOU immediately so the agreements can be reviewed and signed as soon as practical. County staff said they would aim to have a draft ready within about a week, depending on attorney timelines, and that final signatures would follow review by the senior board and Ignite Idaho.

The discussion included requests for clear language about how annual funds that the county provides to the senior center would be handled if Ignite Idaho rents the building; commissioners said the MOU should specify that funds intended for the seniors would flow to the senior organization under the agreed arrangement. Buildings and grounds will inspect the heater and other systems; staff noted heating issues reported earlier and said the county would handle building-system repairs because the facility is county-owned.

No formal vote was recorded; commissioners agreed to proceed with drafting the MOU and to return the proposed document for review and signature.","Valley County commissioners agreed Aug. 20 to begin drafting a memorandum of understanding that would let Ignite Idaho occupy the Cascade senior center building, operate a child care program and host a family resource center while preserving senior programming.","actionData","errors"]
