The board also approved reimbursement to the Idaho Department of Commerce for the first half of FY2026 EDPro grant.
Valley County commissioners voted to decline a Department of Justice Mental Health and Welfare Act award after Grant Writer Ken Schlegel reported operational issues at the Valley County Sheriff’s Office that would impede acceptance of the grant.
