Franklin County Commissioners approve courthouse work, transformer upgrade, subdivision and funding transfers
Summary
At their June 24 meeting commissioners received courthouse remodel updates, approved a Rocky Mountain Power transformer upgrade ($4,218), reduced a property valuation in Board of Equalization proceedings, adopted two resolutions (including a $5,000 transfer to the Fair Building Fund), approved a Class I subdivision, and signed the county Title VI plan.
Franklin County Commissioners on June 24 approved a series of routine actions including infrastructure agreements, a Board of Equalization adjustment, two resolutions and a Class I subdivision.
In updates to the board, Randy Henrie, building maintenance, said "the court floor has been framed, the plumbing has started, and waiting for the concrete to be cut," and that door frames and bulletproof glass are being installed and ductwork is expected in the next week or two. Clerk Camille Larsen will contact the Idaho Supreme Court IT Division about required courtroom equipment and wiring.
On infrastructure contracts, Commissioner Dirk Bowles explained a Customer Requested Work Agreement with Rocky Mountain Power to upgrade a transformer from 50 kVA to 100 kVA for $4,218; the board approved signing the agreement and directed payment from the Building Fund. Commissioners also heard that fiber to the Robinson Building at the fairgrounds will be completed this week, with the Rodeo Committee covering half the cost, and that S and T Electric will install power to the steer barn.
The Board of Equalization reduced the market value of parcel RP02314.01 (Shaun Thornley) after Assessor Chris Barton told the board the parcel's slope (40–70 percent) and lack of buildable level area warranted lowering the value from $90,000 to $38,000. Commissioner Boyd Burbank moved to change the value and the motion carried unanimously.
The board adopted Resolution 2024-06-24A to transfer $5,000 of unanticipated sales tax revenue to the Fair Building Fund to pay for cement for a new steer barn. It also adopted Resolution 2024-06-24B to terminate a local disaster emergency declared Feb. 26, 2024, after repairs to the Cache Canal.
Planning and Zoning staff presented a Kelly Veibel Class I subdivision located north of Twin Lakes on an unmaintained county road. Director Troy Moser reported required road improvements were completed and septic approval was in place. Commissioner Dirk Bowles moved to accept the subdivision; the motion was approved unanimously.
Deputy Clerk Sarah Layland presented the ITD Title VI Plan, required because the county received federal grant money; Commissioners voted unanimously to sign the plan.
The board approved bills, accepted corrected minutes for May 28 (changing "Consolidated Water District" to "Twin Lakes District" on one item), and adjourned at 10:30 a.m. The next regular meeting is scheduled for July 8, 2024.
