Summary
The board approved a tentative public defender budget for FY2027 totaling $23,500 to be paid from a trust held at Cassia County; Minidoka County's share was recorded as half ($11,750).
The Minidoka County Board of Commissioners approved a tentative public defender budget for fiscal year 2027 at its June 15 meeting. The board voted to have the $23,500 budget come from a trust fund currently held at Cassia County; the minutes state that Minidoka County's share is half of that amount (Minidoka share: $11,750). Commissioner Schaeffer moved to approve the tentative budget, Commissioner Koyle seconded, and the motion carried.
The action was recorded as tentative and tied to the trust fund held at Cassia County; the minutes do not record additional funding sources or further conditions. Staff will include this item in forthcoming budget review sessions scheduled for July.
