At its March 24 meeting, the Valley County Board of Commissioners voted to authorize county staff to submit three grant or reimbursement documents and approved the March 17 meeting minutes.
Grants and motions approved
- Traffic enforcement (ITD mini grant) application: The board authorized submission of an Idaho Transportation Department mini grant application (traffic enforcement/office of highway safety) to purchase breathalyzer units. The sheriff’s office had budgeted matching funds. The motion was moved and seconded on the record and the board voted in favor.
- T‑Mobile Hometown grant application: Commissioners authorized submission of a T‑Mobile Hometown grant application to purchase prebuilt aluminum bleachers (project amount about $35,000; maximum award cap is $50,000 for the program). The county included letters of local support (City of Cascade, fair board, and several businesses). The motion was moved and seconded and the board voted in favor.
- Idaho Department of Commerce (EdPro) reimbursement request: The board authorized staff to submit a reimbursement request for the second half of the EDO/EdPro grant for the West Central Mountains Economic District (about $20,000). The motion was moved and seconded and the board voted in favor.
- Minutes: The board moved, seconded and approved the March 17, 2025 meeting minutes.
Votes and procedure: Each motion was moved and seconded; commissioners responded “Aye” on the record and the clerk announced approval. The meeting transcript records unanimous affirmative votes for each motion but does not list individual roll‑call votes by name. Where vote tallies were not enumerated individually in the transcript, the board recorded consent with “Aye.”
Next steps: If any of the grants are awarded, staff said they will return to the board to accept awards and proceed with procurement and purchases.
