Valley County commissioners approved multiple land‑use items and administrative claims at their Dec. 22 meeting, authorizing signatures and placing conditions on recording where necessary.

Tamarack Resort (Montalago): The board approved the final plat for the Tamarack Resort planned unit development. Speaker 4 read a motion that included vacating the original Blue Mountain Subdivision plat where the Montalago boundaries apply, acknowledging private roads and utility declarations, and accepting a financial guarantee (escrow/holdback) in the amount of $24,500 payable to Warren Drake/Drake Diversified LLC to ensure completion of the connection of the fire system to a water supply in 2026. The motion included that build permits will not be issued until a water supply is connected and approved by the Donnelly Fire Department. The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.

Lake Fork Reserve: The board approved the final plat as a replat of a previously platted subdivision but directed that the plat not be recorded until an updated Central District Health letter confirming utilities is received and the county surveyor and planning commissioner sign the documents.

Lakeport Preserves Subdivision No. 2: The board approved the final plat and acknowledged a development agreement approved on 10/08/2025 that must be executed within 12 months. The board authorized the chairman to sign the plat.

Past work construction and claims: Commissioners approved a maximum payment of $250,000 for past construction work pending a further breakdown of invoices and backup; they also approved claims and board orders presented by the clerk.

Attribution and next steps: Motions were presented and moved by commissioners as recorded in the meeting transcript (e.g., Speaker 4 moved the Tamarack plat motion and Speaker 2 seconded). Where the transcript recorded only a voice 'Aye', individual roll‑call votes were not recorded in the transcript. Several approvals are conditioned on receipt of required signatures or updated health department letters before final recording or issuance of permits.
