Summary
The Bonner County Board of Commissioners approved several routine financial items and a partial release of a development surety during its Oct. 29 meeting. The board approved FY25 and FY26 claims batches, a weekly demand payment, and a 50% partial release of a construction surety for project SS0006‑2022 after engineering sign‑off.
Bonner County commissioners approved multiple financial and planning items on Oct. 29, including claims and a partial surety release.
The board approved payment of fiscal year 2025 claims in batch No. 55, totaling $47,071.14. The clerk noted a $25,510.95 self‑insurance payment as the largest line item. The motion to approve was adopted by roll call (Commissioner Williams: yes; Commissioner Matthews: yes).
The board then approved fiscal year 2026 claims in batch No. 4, totaling $346,616.05. Staff highlighted large items including a $116,342.57 self‑insurance medical payment and other scheduled capital lease and liability items. The motion carried by roll call.
Separately, the board approved a fiscal year 2026 demand batch totaling $6,298.64 (a weekly payment to Regence Blue Shield). The board approved the motion by roll call.
In planning business, Dave Fisher of Bonner County Planning presented the partial release request for project SS622 (Fisher Haven). The applicant had posted a surety for required stormwater and road improvements in 2023 equal to 150% of the engineer’s estimate (total surety $104,079.30). Bonner County Engineering inspected the completed work and recommended returning 50% of the surety.
