Cascade County commissioners reviewed two land-related items during the March 4 work session: a proposed amendment to county zoning regulations and an agreement to purchase property for a transfer site.
Michael Harris, the planning director, presented background for Resolution 26-10, a resolution of intention to amend the Cascade County zoning regulations (Ref: Resolution 21-79). The presentation introduced the proposed regulatory changes and prompted commissioner questions during the work session.
Separately, Les Payne of Public Works presented Contract 26-22, an agreement to purchase three acres and an existing transfer site structure from Rimrock Valley Preserve LLC. The agenda lists a per-acre price of $40,951.61 and a total contract cost of $122,854.83. Trista Besich, the county chief financial officer, spoke about funding and budget implications; Commissioner Eric Hinebauch and Chief Deputy County Attorney Carey Ann Haight asked clarifying questions about terms and procedures.
The meeting record documents the presentations and clarifying discussion but does not show a final approval or statutory action on Resolution 26-10 or the purchase contract during the March 4 work session. The minutes indicate the matters were reviewed and discussed; further action or formal vote was not recorded in this session's written summary.
