Bonner County approves juvenile records destruction, surveillance system work and clinical-services agreement
Summary
At its June 10 meeting the Bonner County Board of Commissioners approved destruction of certain juvenile detention facility paper records, authorized payment for phase 2 of a surveillance-system replacement and renewed a memorandum of agreement that funds part of a detention clinician’s salary.
The Bonner County Board of Commissioners on June 10 approved three Justice Services items: a resolution to destroy certain juvenile detention facility temporary paper records, payment for phase 2 of a detention surveillance-system replacement, and a memorandum of agreement (MOA) to fund clinical services at the juvenile detention center.
Justice Services staff told the board the facility holds paper records the department considers temporary and eligible for destruction after the minimum retention period. Staff cited Idaho Code 31-871(c) as the authority for destroying temporary records. The board approved a resolution authorizing destruction of juvenile-detention facility temporary records as described by staff; the resolution text in the meeting record referenced records “2022 and older,” while staff earlier described review of records dating to 2016–2017.
The board also approved payment of $46,791.37 to complete phase 2 of the detention-center surveillance replacement; staff said payment will be charged to the Probation Services FY24–25 budget (account 660017900) and paid from cigarette-tax carryover funds. Commissioners who inspected phase 1 complimented the work’s quality and cleanliness.
Finally, the board approved an MOA with the Idaho Department of Juvenile Corrections that provides $35,968 for the 2025–26 fiscal year to pay part of the salary for a clinician assigned to Bonner County’s juvenile detention facility. Staff described the clinician program as a statewide initiative that began as a pilot and was later funded to place licensed clinicians in detention centers; the county’s remaining clinician salary is funded through Juvenile Corrections Act (JCA) funds, staff said.
Public comment included a question about the disposition of unspent state funds used elsewhere in county budgets; staff explained that unbudgeted receipts remain in the county’s bank account and cannot be spent until the board adds them into a budget appropriation. No commissioner votes against the Justice Services items were recorded in the meeting transcript; motions were made and passed by roll call.
The board directed staff to record the actions in county records and to proceed with contract payments and MOA signing as needed.
