Commissioners approve consent calendar: payables, Title 3 transfer, tax‑deed authorizations and annexations
Summary
The board approved its consent calendar including payables, a $26,113.82 Title 3 transfer to the sheriff's search-and-rescue account, authorization to record tax deeds for certain 2022 unpaid parcels, annexation of multiple parcels into Eastside Fire District, and small asset deletions and resolutions.
The Kootenai County Board of Commissioners approved a slate of consent items on July 14, including payables, a Title 3 reimbursement, tax‑deed authorizations, annexations and small asset deletions.
Payables and jury payments: the board approved county payables for the week of July 16, 2026; the amount read aloud for payables was $2,589,853.66. The clerk also read a figure for jury panel payments that was presented aloud with slight uncertainty; the board voted to approve payments as presented.
Title 3 transfer: Jolina Hildreth of the auditor’s office requested authorization to transfer $26,113.82 from the Title 3 fund into the sheriff's Title 3 account for search and rescue (KCSO). She said a 45‑day publication period had passed with no opposition. The board approved the transfer.
Tax deeds: Treasurer Kelly Weist reported that the county's 2022 tax‑deed process began with 353 parcels; certified notices and publications were completed and affidavits of publication and compliance were recorded in June. She requested permission to issue and record county tax deeds on remaining unpaid parcels, with options set for 09/08/2026. The board moved to approve tax‑deed recordings for the listed parcels and carried the motion.
Annexation: David Ferguson presented multiple parcel annexations into the Eastside Fire District on behalf of private trusts; he said the fire district published notice and approved the annexation. The board approved the annexation request.
Asset resolutions: Community Development Director Mike Beharie requested resolutions to delete an older Ricoh copier and to remove 36 code books from inventory; the board approved both resolutions.
What this means: these routine fiscal and administrative approvals move forward without separate hearings; implementation and recording actions will be completed by county staff in the treasurer, auditor and development offices.
