Commissioners direct staff to write BNSF after county continues paying for vacated SAR building
Summary
Sheriff Myers told commissioners the Sheriff's Office is still paying annual fees on a SAR building it vacated and that those fees rose to about $10,000—$14,000; the board directed staff to send a letter to BNSF and assigned Charlie Smith to continue handling the matter.
Sheriff Myers informed the board that the Sheriff's Office is still paying a yearly fee on a Search and Rescue (SAR) building that the department vacated, and that the annual charge recently rose to an estimated $10,000 to $14,000. "We moved out and vacated the building, but we are still paying," the minutes record as the core point of the discussion.
Miko Tempski told the board he had consulted the county Risk Pool about the lease; the Risk Pool suggested sending a written letter to BNSF, the property owner. Chairman Cory Wright directed Miko to move forward with that letter and confirmed that Charlie Smith would continue to handle the project. The item was recorded as direction to staff; there was no formal vote recorded at the study session.
