Summary
Commissioners approved a five-year Avista sublease renewal for Mount Spokane tower, a $268,000 contract for Centennial Trail asphalt replacement, a staging renewal with the Idaho Department of Juvenile Corrections, and a natural-gas service agreement for the coroner's autopsy lab with a county share of $8,247.86.
Kootenai County approved several infrastructure and service agreements at its April 14 meeting, including a lease renewal, trail work, juvenile-detention staging, and a gas-service contract for an autopsy lab addition.
Lieutenant Jeff Howard explained a five-year renewal (Amendment #2) to the county's Avista sublease for the Mount Spokane telecommunications tower used for radio communications; legal reviewed the amendment and the board approved it.
Parks and Waterways Director Nick Snyder (on the phone) presented a $268,000 independent-contractor agreement with Poe Asphalt Paving for Centennial Trail asphalt replacement. Snyder said funding will come from a combination of a state recreational trail program grant and joint powers account funds.
Juvenile Detention Director Eric Sheffield requested renewal of a staging agreement with the Idaho Department of Juvenile Corrections to house juveniles for staging requests; the rate is $250 per day and the term runs through April 30, 2027. Legal reviewed the agreement and the board approved it.
Facilities Director Jeff Fuller described the need to upsize a gas service line and install a new meter for the coroner's autopsy lab addition. Fuller said the true cost is about $22,000 but Avista credits reduce the county's portion to $8,247.86, to be paid from contract contingency funds (not general fund contingency). The board approved the service agreement.
