Assessor’s office staff told the board the county has administered street naming and addressing for about 15 years and proposed several clarifications to improve wayfinding, reduce conflicts between developers and reviewers, and clarify the appeals process. The changes were described as aimed at improving efficiency for citizens, commercial operations and first responders.

Why it matters: County staff said clearer rules reduce delays for developers, improve navigation for delivery services and — critically — make it easier for emergency services to find addresses.

What staff said

- The assessor’s office presented changes intended to streamline review processes, remove unnecessary alignment requirements where appropriate, and provide more explicit direction on where appeals should be filed.

- Staff noted concrete benefits for residents and commercial services: “Amazon delivery should find you a little easier” was offered as a practical example during discussion.

- Emergency services reviewed the proposed changes and had no objections, according to the assessor’s office.

Board action and next steps

Commissioners held a public hearing on the ordinance; no members of the public objected. The board closed the hearing and approved Ordinance 1001. Staff will publish ordinance changes and update internal addressing procedures.

Ending: County staff said the updates will reduce contention with developers and improve response and wayfinding for residents and first responders.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board of Ada County Commissioners – Open Business Meeting – September 9, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Ordinance 1001 updated Ada County Code Title 2, Chapter 1 to clarify roles, streamline review procedures for developers and clarify appeals; county staff said emergency services reviewed the changes and raised no objections.","taxTitle","Ada County, Idaho","taxId",2612,"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},6475086,"Ada County raises landfill disposal rates, adds asbestos processing fee",148,1038000,1186000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5738138-c980f50ec8f264d415fe89f0947fae82&start=1038&end=1186","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5738138-c980f50ec8f264d415fe89f0947fae82/thumbnail_1038000.jpg","/articles/6475086/Ada-County/Idaho/Ada-County-raises-landfill-disposal-rates-adds-asbestos-processing-fee","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6475086-5944b92da662c8741fb5d26f3e9781b8/orig.mp4?Expires=1773567705&Signature=eArsfhp4h~Mbxp6joPLIQjOQqifw7s0x11v4oP-hSEaTSjMzJxpVX6rKV0Puf6dtRUHdG5wD4NBf0zA~R-2T~9eaIYBUBnqZ535AXt7RNPZNBese9bDjVVAYabOjdNzicm2SKVDeTzD71FkFnwumq~2mixlUJSeVc53h-1WtCbgJuwsBYx2nOfkcoeYifPS1ud0nmEnKE7UTm0yNkq5Rv3ocpNofyql8WQvYLKQ4HHCB7-AsMibK2Vqjurk5laRDP6NeE0KYU5pMVQSsR1zQQFyL8Vg0QXV~ANyKugE~htwes0J7WDDoIwoiQlJ9Bx5H0rOLBabv~Rv0uh4lJuUc3w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","BOISE, Idaho — The Ada County Board of Commissioners on Sept. 9 adopted Resolution 31-30 to raise landfill disposal rates and set a new fee for asbestos processing.

The resolution increases the county’s general refuse disposal rate for in-county waste from $32 per ton to $33 per ton, and increases the out-of-county rate from $39 per ton to $40.25 per ton. The county also established an asbestos processing fee — $48 per ton for in-county asbestos waste and $58.50 per ton for out-of-county asbestos waste — to reflect the greater airspace and handling required for that material.

Why it matters: Solid Waste Director Herb Cantu told the board the fee adjustments are modest and were calculated to cover costs; he said the change equates to roughly $0.95 per resident per year based on a county population figure used in the presentation.

Details presented to the board

- Rate increases: In-county general refuse — $32/ton → $33/ton; out-of-county general refuse — $39/ton → $40.25/ton.

- Asbestos processing fee: In-county — $48/ton; out-of-county — $58.50/ton. Cantu explained asbestos requires isolation and uses roughly twice the airspace compared with typical municipal solid waste, which informed the fee calculation.

- Resident impact: Based on the county population number cited (approximately 535,000 residents as of Feb. 2024), the director estimated the per-resident impact at about $0.95 per year (described in the meeting as “roughly a dollar per year” or “95¢ per year”).

Board discussion and context

Commissioners thanked the solid-waste staff for due diligence and noted some cities are increasing their own rates, which the director said ranges from about 6% to 8% in neighboring jurisdictions. The board also noted that the landfill receives no property-tax support and operates from reserve fees and charges, a point repeated during discussion.

Ending: The board closed the public hearing on the resolution and approved the rate changes by voice vote. Staff was directed to publish the new rate schedule and update billing systems.","The Board of Ada County Commissioners approved Resolution 31-30 raising general refuse rates by $1 per ton for in-county waste and increasing out-of-county rates; the board also established new fees for asbestos processing and staff estimated the change would cost residents about $0.95 per year.",{"_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},6475091,"Ada County treasurer warns likely Fed rate cut will reduce investment income by millions",252,2214000,2466000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5738138-c980f50ec8f264d415fe89f0947fae82&start=2214&end=2466","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5738138-c980f50ec8f264d415fe89f0947fae82/thumbnail_2214000.jpg","/articles/6475091/Ada-County/Idaho/Ada-County-treasurer-warns-likely-Fed-rate-cut-will-reduce-investment-income-by-millions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6475091-5d7327819d6626bf7a01eb77bb3c8365/orig.mp4?Expires=1773567705&Signature=L45LB-DbjTOhTpY96bGFXe~TSJrPXRh95L1SjJTRdekLvaVJOXwiLKp6OLaTTbSB8-Ysu2ZzFFf2hBmPRRiJ0mPmtN8jFLoKRsocwDjVyD0iRluv1mxh9eC7mtPejykshCOwrzGwwwsw9PiqKQyC-i938HqEqxKIBCLMubvsHGBPQKiCjKl13RqkbxMR2Tv2qWwFZqLn6yWO2S0e7Z~PAioSZV98E0futZKy6~1V6TCJDkcl89pZJOsaKS8Pkn~gAWGdhyyddmv-g-az15yvWSUw-8O5Hs8wN8Bf8UEpjDxT5zKnoPYExdJJI3VO6cVZYkRC3oO7cYVhkWRVdzqI0A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","BOISE, Idaho — Ada County Treasurer (Pittman) told the Board of Commissioners on Sept. 9 that while the county is close to meeting this fiscal year’s interest-income estimate, an anticipated Federal Reserve cut could reduce next year’s investment income by several million dollars.

The treasurer said the county has recorded roughly $11.3 million in investment interest 11 months into the fiscal year and expects to reach about $12 million for FY25. For FY26, the treasurer and staff independently forecast approximately $9.3 million in interest income, an estimated drop of roughly $3 million driven primarily by an expected 25-basis-point cut at the Fed’s next meeting.

Why it matters: Interest earnings fund operations and reduce pressure on property taxes and other revenue sources. A multi-million-dollar drop in investment revenue can affect budget planning and discretionary spending for county departments.

What the treasurer told commissioners

- Portfolio performance: The treasurer reported no maturities or new purchases in the report month and noted the portfolio is “right on target” for the current fiscal year. The county’s money-market holdings — chiefly a Vanguard money-market fund — yielded about 4.2% in the month cited; that rate was as high as about 5.22% in August 2024 ahead of Fed cuts.

- Fed sensitivity: The treasurer said market consensus strongly favors a rate reduction at the Fed’s next meeting and that such a move would reduce short-term yields and overall portfolio income. The county’s FY26 forecast of $9.3 million assumes lower short-term yields and reflects independent estimates prepared by the treasurer and staff.

- Management steps: County staff said they are monitoring money-market balances (about $11–15 million during the month) and expect to redeploy some funds into fixed-income instruments to lock in yields before rates fall further. The treasurer noted that falling yields can raise the market value of existing bonds (increasing present value), which provides optionality if the county needs to access cash by selling securities.

Commissioner context and questions

Commissioners asked about monthly variation in interest receipts, and the treasurer explained that differences reflect timing of bond coupon payments (monthly, quarterly, semiannual) and large tax-collection inflows that are temporarily redeployed into higher-yield accounts. The treasurer observed that certain months show lower receipts simply because no portfolio instruments had a scheduled payout in those months.

Ending: The treasurer advised the board that staff will continue to look for opportunities to redeploy short-term funds into longer-dated instruments to stabilize yield as the Fed’s policy path becomes clearer.","Ada County Treasurer reported the county is on track to meet FY25 interest estimates but forecasted a drop in investment income for FY26 to about $9.3 million if the Federal Reserve lowers rates as expected, reducing county portfolio yields by roughly $3 million compared with current year receipts.",{"_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},6475096,"Ada County commissioners approve slate of routine items, award sheriff radio battery contract and raise landfill rates",2400,725000,3125000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5738138-c980f50ec8f264d415fe89f0947fae82&start=725&end=3125","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5738138-c980f50ec8f264d415fe89f0947fae82/thumbnail_725000.jpg","/articles/6475096/Ada-County/Idaho/Ada-County-commissioners-approve-slate-of-routine-items-award-sheriff-radio-battery-contract-and-raise-landfill-rates","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6475096-2d6b551b92fcbb75b32d4295a9df365d/orig.mp4?Expires=1773567705&Signature=htm1OIM8wCBKHDqLNi1ItrIPIyiAEWASlHsYHW3w81QkRYKPooKiAM2ye5tXRYURThOK5mQKoVCM6f2L-VxNk5JRsX55MHnotVRiOH7W2r4QI3Fg8MinU4oVvO~i158DOB27bfJD9qrzUhW~YEZJnJfXpDaf7JCRfu~R-vv8HZ~brQcWbKBQfmJX7-HnZ4pO-Btsswv6h5SnKbRi-ULX3913BLm903J7lmTL3jrO~19moLjCFq2J1rDqYrR-zg4KHJTe1ExJ995sF9BabvU-naoRh2whjfZeX7OpbsPM3enaC~gN4rZuURBavDnmUIXXm3DbA0WkHpgBAUKk8c4fQA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","BOISE, Idaho — The Ada County Board of Commissioners approved multiple routine appointments, contracts and budget adjustments at its Sept. 9 open business meeting and took final action on several items the board said were time-sensitive.

The board reappointed Pam Hickman and Laverne (Laverda) Jones to the Board of Community Guardians with terms to expire Sept. 30, 2029, and approved routine licensing, claims and personnel items. The board also approved a provisional property-tax exemption under Idaho Code 63-1305(c) for Calvary Chapel Star Inc., and adopted a variety of annual contract renewals and service agreements.

Why it matters: The bundle of administrative approvals keeps county operations funded and services running into the fiscal year end. Several procurement items were tabled for further review, which defers awards but preserves competition.

Key actions and outcomes

- Appointments: Reappointments of Pam Hickman and Laverne (Laverda) Jones to the Board of Community Guardians (terms to expire 09/30/2029) — motion approved.

- Procurement/action tabled: The board removed unfinished business from the table and then voted to retable the award recommendation for Ada County generator replacement (bid 25071) to the Sept. 18 open business meeting for further evaluation.

- Award: Bid 25072 (Ada County Sheriff’s Office radio sites power system battery replacement) — the board awarded the contract to Stationary Power Systems, Inc., as the lowest responsive bidder in the amount of $78,019.85 — motion approved.

- Resolutions and ordinance: The board approved Resolution 31-28 (adjusting the county budget to reflect receipt of unscheduled revenue to the prosecuting attorney’s budget), Resolution 31-29 (amendments to the county deferred compensation plan, including an update to the normal retirement age in plan documents), and Ordinance 1001 (amending County Code Title 2, Chapter 1 regarding street naming and addressing). All motions were carried.

- Provisional exemption: Approved a provisional exemption under Idaho Code 63-1305(c) for Calvary Chapel Star Inc., authorizing the chair to sign documents on behalf of the board.

- RFP and bid scheduling: The board opened the RFP submissions for armored car services (RFP 25073) and noted three proposers — Brent’s Incorporated, Cashman Services and Loomis US LLC — then tabled final ranking and award recommendation to the Sept. 23 meeting.

- Permits, claims, personnel and tax items: The board approved 8 catering permits, one new license and a license transfer; authorized payment of claims on the claims journal dated 09/05/2025; approved personnel actions including six automatic grade/step progressions and one internal recruitment; and approved 13 tax-cancellation/adjustment items as listed on the agenda.

- Agreements: The board approved 58 agreements listed on the agenda. Commissioners discussed examples in public — including DMV service agreements that allow Ada County offices to serve residents of neighboring Canyon County, juvenile services contracts, and fire-dispatch agreements with Eagle, Meridian and Whitney fire districts — and described the approvals as routine renewals that support service delivery across taxing districts.

- Indigent services: The board accepted the recommendations of the county’s indigent-services staff as listed on the summary dated 09/09/2025.

From the administrators: Procurement staff told the board that several evaluation teams required more time to complete reviews before bringing final award recommendations; the board agreed to reschedule those final awards to preserve competition. The county clerk and other department heads summarized routine community events and services tied to multiple agenda items.

Ending: Several items were tabled for additional review; the board scheduled follow-up consideration for those procurements at upcoming open business meetings in September.","At its Sept. 9 meeting the Ada County Board of Commissioners approved routine appointments, multiple contract actions and budget adjustments, awarded bid 25072 for sheriff’s office radio-site battery replacement, and adopted a landfill rate increase.
