County staff request executive session to discuss landfill floodplain options; notice disputed
Summary
Planning staff briefed the commissioners on landfill floodplain options and one commissioner moved to go into executive session under code 74206F; commissioners then debated whether the session was noticed and whether the cited code applied.
Planning staff briefed the Bannock County commissioners on landfill floodplain work at the March 31 meeting and suggested the issue may warrant confidential deliberation.
Tristan Borkwin identified himself as assistant planning director and introduced planning director Al Jensen and Dylan Adams, who is listed as a LIFO manager. Staff recounted a prior on-site meeting with the state floodplain coordinator and outlined options for addressing floodplain issues at the landfill.
At least one commissioner asked to pause the public discussion and move into an executive session to address the circumstances. "Or let's go into an executive session to talk about this with the circumstances that are around this," a commissioner said. A procedural exchange followed about whether the executive session had been properly noticed; a code number, "74206F," was cited on the record and commissioners exchanged brief verification about whether the notice had been posted.
The transcript ends with that procedural exchange; the board did not record a completed vote on whether to enter the executive session within the captured segments. Planning staff indicated the matter involves ongoing coordination with the state and that further closed-door discussion may be necessary to protect sensitive site or legal details.
