Commissioners approve EMPG grant, warrants, permits and a retail liquor license
Summary
At the June 8 meeting the board approved a $23,731.62 EMPG grant, authorized warrants for election and general expenses, signed rock‑crusher relocation forms and approved right‑of‑way and retail alcohol licensing requests.
Washington County commissioners approved a series of routine financial and permitting items on June 8, including the Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG), vendor warrants, right‑of‑way and equipment paperwork, and a retail alcohol license.
On motions by Commissioner Jim Harberd, seconded by Commissioner Gordon Wilkerson, the board approved a demand warrant to Badge Frame, Inc. for $617.05 and authorized the Auditor to issue warrants totaling $16,586.05 for election expenses and $170,247.52 for general expenses. Emergency Manager Johnny Biddinger presented the EMPG from the Idaho Office of Emergency Management; the board approved the EMPG agreement in the amount of $23,731.62. The board also approved signing the Rock Crusher Portable Equipment Relocation Forms (RCPERF) and granted a right‑of‑way permit for Duane Fairchild to widen access on a county road. Additionally, the board approved a Retail Alcoholic Beverage License for Kilee Saldivar doing business as The Market.
Why it matters: the EMPG provides federal funding for emergency‑management capacity in the county; the road permits and crusher paperwork clear the way for local public‑works operations, and the warrants cover recurring county expenses.
What happened next: motions were made and carried unanimously; no dissent or conditions were recorded in the minutes.
