Board approves Resolution 2025‑09 reauthorizing treasurer to waive penalties and interest
Summary
Chief Deputy Treasurer Jill Smith asked the board to authorize the treasurer to continue waiving penalties and interest on the board's behalf; commissioners approved Resolution 2025‑09, asking staff to send higher‑value requests back to the board.
Kootenai County commissioners on Jan. 14 approved Resolution 2025‑09, authorizing the treasurer's office to continue waiving penalties and interest on behalf of the board in routine cases.
Jill Smith, chief deputy treasurer, told the board she requested authorization so staff would not need to return to the board for every small matter. "I am here in front of our new board asking for you to, issue us authorization to continue to waive interest and penalties on the behalf of the board," Smith said.
A commissioner asked whether the authority covered amounts up to $1,000. Smith replied that if the amount were that large they would bring the matter back to the board, indicating larger waivers would be presented for board consideration.
Commissioner Eberlein moved approval of Resolution 2025‑09; the motion passed unanimously with Commissioners Eberlein and Duncan and Chair Metairie voting aye.
The meeting record does not include a detailed written threshold or policy language in the packet beyond Smith's remarks; the resolution number was entered into the record as 2025‑09.
