Bannock County commissioners approve two indigent cremation aid cases, accept assessor notices and move to executive session
Summary
At its June 10 meeting the Bannock County Board of Commissioners approved two indigent cremation-assistance applications, accepted notices from the assessor and voted to enter executive session to discuss a sheriff’s vehicle purchase, personnel matters in public works and a 911 communications matter involving the Kimpore Tower.
Bannock County Board of Commissioners voted Tuesday to approve two indigent-assistance applications for cremation expenses, accepted notices from the county assessor and moved to enter executive session to consider three separate matters.
Shantel, indigent-services staff, told commissioners the board had two applications before it: case 20250036, an application for cremation expenses presented as $1,200 to “Corning Wilson Theatre Home,” and case 20250037, an application described in the record with an amount referenced as “minimum of $14.” Shantel said both applicants met eligibility criteria and payment plans were discussed. A commissioner moved to approve both cases; the motion carried with the board voting in the affirmative (recorded as three ayes). The transcript does not identify which commissioner made the motion or record individual member votes by name.
The board then accepted notices provided by Anita, assessor (last name not specified), on a motion by a commissioner; that motion passed on an aye vote. The transcript does not specify the contents of the assessor notices beyond that they were presented to the board.
After those consent-type items, the board’s presiding official moved that the commission go into executive session to discuss three matters under Idaho’s open-meetings exemptions: (1) a proposed purchase of a replacement vehicle for the sheriff’s department under Idaho Code §74-206(1)(d) (records exempt from public disclosure), (2) personnel matters in public works under Idaho Code §74-206(1)(a) and (b), and (3) an offer related to the Kimpore Tower involving Adam McKinney of 911 communications under Idaho Code §74-206(1)(c). The presiding official said the board would discuss each item individually in executive session and make separate motions when they returned. Commissioner Hough was recorded responding “Yes” when called; the transcript does not record the final voice vote to enter executive session or any subsequent outcomes.
