The Bannock County Board of Commissioners handled several routine items in a single session, approving donations, resolutions and a reimbursement memo and swearing in a returning member of the Bannock County Fair Board.

Christy Davenport reported that a caller had offered $250 for a parcel in Downey that had been offered at last year’s tax auction but not sold; she said the parcel is old enough that there is no tax history and that the starting bid could match the prior offer. Speaker 2 moved to accept the $250 offer for parcel identified as 'Partial RPRDCPD005210' and the board voted in favor.

The board approved a $2,500 payment from the county’s set‑aside $10,000 250th‑birthday fund to cover a ‘Christmas and nighttime skies’ invoice. Speakers clarified the local volunteer group is spearheading the event and that it is not directly run by Toys for Tots.

Speaker 1 read three resolutions: Resolution 2025-85 to reallocate funds (including about $30,000 for sheriff peer support/PTSD), Resolution 2025-86 approving a November 2025 alcohol license, and Resolution 2025-87 approving November 2025 salaries. Speaker 2 moved to adopt the three resolutions and the board approved them by voice vote.

Speaker 4 summarized a memo requesting reimbursement of approximately $1,330,000 tied to the Northgate Exchange project. He said the original funding included about $100,000 from 'Morgan Bridge' and roughly $1.2 million from the general fund across two fiscal years; the reimbursement would restore those funds to their original accounts. Speaker 1 moved to sign the memo and the board voted to authorize it.

The board administered the oath of office to Zachary Paul Dam, who repeated the oath to support the U.S. and Idaho constitutions and was welcomed as a member of the Bannock County Fair Board.

The meeting concluded with the approval of the consent agenda (accounts, commissioner reports, invoices, salary forms, an alcohol license and minutes for Nov. 25 and Nov. 26).
