***Monday, September 18, 2023, at 9:00 a.m., Commissioners met in regular session with Chairman Tim Bertling, Commissioner Wally Cossairt, Commissioner Ben Robertson, Clerk Glenda Poston, and Deputy Clerk Michelle Rohrwasser.
Commissioners said the Pledge of Allegiance.
9:00 a.m., Dave Wenk, Olivia Drake, Scooter Drake, Jacob Hinrichs, Tim Dillin, Kevin Cossairt, and Jeff Hood joined the meeting to discuss issues pertaining to snowmobiling routes and trail grooming permits. Chairman Bertling said the county already has an agreement with Idaho Department of Lands (IDL) and Stimson for this. IDL had sent an email and they’re making it to where they would pull the brush out and put it in the road so the groomer can get over it and he mentioned getting an agreement for 50-inches and less for ATVs. Mr. Wenk said they’re putting it on hold due to the date issue. Mr. Hinrichs said he talked to Todd Wernex with IDL and he has budget for gates, signage and kiosks. Mr. Wenk said Mr. Wernex was not aware of the email from Mr. Luhnow. Chairman Bertling said what’s frustrating is that we already have an agreement. Mr. Wenk asked if we need to go above Mr. Luhnow. Mr. Hinrichs said he thought Stimson was going to pull the kelly hump out. Mr. Wenk said he doesn’t know what the hold-up is. It was said that IDL doesn’t communicate with the Snowmobile Grooming Board; they just communicate with Stimson and when the group met on site with IDL and Britt Madison with Stimson, Mr. Madison was okay with brushing it out as long as Foust did the work. Chairman Bertling said he will write a letter to IDL. Mr. Wenk said he would hate to lose another snowmobile season. Chairman Bertling reiterated that he will draft a letter to IDL and Mr. Madison and explain the plan using an excavator and point out that Mr. Wernex has gates that he can put in. Ms. Drake said IDL wants a maintenance plan before they let the snowmobilers in that area. Mr. Drake said IDL wanted Boundary Backcountry to put up signage, but he doesn’t feel they should put signs up if they’re not allowed to go in there. It was said it might only be a couple miles total to brush. Mr. Hinrichs said he can see a kiosk being a good thing, but it’s what you put on it and he mentioned doing this, but then getting push-back. Mr. Drake said they’re just trying to get a route for snowmobiles. Ms. Drake said we need to get an agreement in place for snowmobiling first then address other issues, but IDL is confused because they’re blaming the snowmobilers for issues occurring in the summer months. Mr. Wenk explained going up Ruby Creek and seeing that Stimson had put up signage saying the area is closed and he said last year people were asked to leave when they went for a walk in that area. Ms. Drake said it sounds similar to the Potlatch where they’re asking people for a fee to walk the properties. Mr. Hinrichs questioned paying a fee when the timber company doesn’t allow you to walk there.
The meeting to discuss issues pertaining to snowmobile routes and access ended at 9:20 a.m.
County Civil Attorney Tevis Hull joined the meeting at 9:33 a.m.
Attorney Hull discussed an issue that was raised by Road and Bridge Department Superintendent Renee Nelson about Tractor Supply building approaches for their new business, but the issue has been since rectified. Until the Tractor Supply’s parcel has a parcel number, Ms. Nelson can use a copy of the deed and attach it to the approach permit. The parcel number can be substituted in for the deed once it has been assigned. Attorney Hull briefly explained public records requests being received by various departments.
Attorney Hull explained needing to go into executive session in an emergency.
9:41 a.m., Commissioner Robertson moved to go into executive session pursuant to Idaho Code 74-206(1)f, to communicate with legal counsel for the public agency to discuss the legal ramifications of and legal options for pending litigation, or controversies not yet being litigated, but imminently likely to be litigated.

10:27 a.m., Kootenai Tribe of Idaho Administrative Director and Kootenai Valley Resource Initiative (KVRI) Facilitator Theresa Wheat joined the meeting to update Commissioners on KVRI meeting topics. Ms. Wheat said Rob Morris with the Idaho Department of Fish and Game and Austin Terrill with the Office of Species Conservation will present their upcoming bear event to include having an apple cider truck and press, discuss electric fencing and provide a demonstration on it. It’s all in the name of cleaning off fruit trees in order to not entice bears, etc. Ms. Wheat discussed updating the KVRI logo.
Ms. Wheat said Cindy Lewis with the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) has funds that they would like to put into wildlife access corridors, which is different than the Wildlife Auto Collision (WAG) Committee. Ms. Lewis needs to know where the access corridors are.

10:48 a.m., Chief Probation Officer RJ Webber joined the meeting.
11:00 a.m., Mr. Webber reviewed the number of cases of people on various forms of probation. There are 10 people are in the Diversion Program. The telephones in the Probation Office have been down for the last few weeks, but they have a temporary phone to use in the meantime. Mr. Webber said he’s not sure what happened, but it occurred when the generator at the Annex was rebooted. The Probation Office has one position open for a part-time probation assistant. Mr. Webber commented on having submitted the firearms policy for Commissioners’ review. Commissioner Robertson said carrying on a volunteer basis is okay to him, but he’s not sure he is in favor of putting it in a policy that Probation Office employees need to carry. Commissioner Robertson reiterated that he is 100% okay with the probation officers carrying and Chairman Bertling and Commissioner Cossairt agreed. Commissioner Cossairt added that if the employee is confident, he doesn’t have a problem with it.
The Probation Department report ended at 11:15 a.m.
11:30 a.m., IT Director Matt Hodges joined the meeting to update Commissioners on phone issues the Probation Office is experiencing. Chief Probation Office RJ Webber was also present. Mr. Hodges said he contacted the tech company and there is a way to break into the phone system for $150.00. The tech had come up to repair another phone issue and thought he could get into the Probation Office’s system, but he didn’t have password for that system. The person at Ziply who installed the phone system was on vacation and so far the password hasn’t worked. Mr. Hodges has tried many variations of the password. Mr. Hodges spoke of looking into doing away with the current phone system and getting a Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) system, but the county wouldn’t want to make that switch until he gets the settings off of the old system. The charge to have Mitel connect in to break into the current phone system is $150.00 and you just need to fill out some paperwork. Clerk Poston said travel time will also have to be paid. Mr. Hodges said he’s hoping to remote in and do it that way so there may not be a travel charge. The travel charge is $1,000.00, per Clerk Poston. The phone company is no longer providing support for the current system, but they will sell the VOIP. Mr. Hodges said he doesn’t have an estimate for VOIP other than using the phone company system now, but it’s supposed to be cheaper than what the Probation Office is currently using. Chairman Bertling suggested Mr. Hodges get a quote.
Mr. Hodges said with the Assessor’s Office moving to the former Extension Office, VOIP would be a lot easier than having to rent a boom truck to relocate and connect the current existing phone system to the new office. Clerk Poston said the county could use ARPA funds for this cost. Mr. Hodges will also get a quote for updating the Courthouse telephones.
The meeting with Mr. Hodges and Mr. Webber ended at 11:36 a.m.
Commissioner Cossairt moved to sign the Ambulance Service Contract for fiscal years 2023-2025. Commissioner Robertson second. Motion passed unanimously.
Commissioners recessed for lunch.
1:30 p.m., Commissioners reconvened for the afternoon session with Chairman Tim Bertling, Commissioner Wally Cossairt, Commissioner Ben Robertson, Clerk Glenda Poston, and Deputy Clerk Michelle Rohrwasser.
1:30 p.m., Road and Bridge Department Co-Superintendent Renee Nelson and Road Foreman Brad Barton joined the meeting to give the Road and Bridge Department report. Ms. Nelson presented a written department report.
Jim Dyck and Calvin Dyck with Dyck’s Oil and Auto also joined the meeting.
Commissioners held a bid opening for the county fuel supply for fiscal year 2023-2024. Present were: Chairman Tim Bertling, Commissioner Wally Cossairt, Commissioner Ben Robertson, Clerk Glenda Poston, Deputy Clerk Michelle Rohrwasser, Road and Bridge Department Co-Superintendent Renee Nelson and Road Foreman Brad Barton, Personnel Director Pam Barton, and Jim Dyck and Calvin Dyck with Dyck’s Oil and Auto. The bid opening was recorded.
One bid was received from Dyck’s Oil and Auto. Chairman Bertling reviewed bid details for unleaded gasoline, ultra-low sulfur diesel 2 dyed, and diesel #1 for the County’s Road and Bridge Department, Sheriff’s Office and the Solid Waste Department as well as the markups. The bid total is $456,405.00. A bidder’s security was provided in the amount of $22,820.00. Ms. Nelson said over the last couple of years the markup was $0.20 to $0.22 so an increase of $0.02 over those amounts seems like a reasonable increase. Ms. Nelson said the total falls within the budget.
Mr. Dyck explained the difference in the markup per gallon in that $0.22 is using the card lock system and $0.24 is for delivery to the Road and Bridge shop and to the landfill. It’s the same fuel, but one price has the delivery cost.
Commissioner Cossairt moved to accept the bid for the county’s fuel supply for fiscal year 2023-2024 from Dyck’s Oil and Auto totaling $456,405.00. Commissioner Robertson second. Motion passed unanimously.
The bid opening ended at 1:40 p.m.
Jim Dyck and Calvin Dyck left the meeting at 1:41 p.m.
1:41 p.m., Commissioner Robertson moved to go into executive session pursuant to Idaho Code 74-206(1)b, to consider the evaluation, dismissal or disciplining of, or to hear complaints or charges brought against, a public officer, employee, staff member or individual agent, or public-school student. Commissioner Cossairt second. Commissioners voted as follows: Chairman Bertling “aye”, Commissioner Cossairt “aye” and Commissioner Robertson “aye”. Motion passed unanimously. The executive session ended at 1:50 p.m. No action was taken.
Ms. Nelson said for the employees who are helping with the construction of the Road and Bridge Office, the extra work equates to 30 hours, but policy only allows 24 hours. Clerk Poston asked if anyone will have the issue of having 120 hours of overtime or more at the end of the year. Ms. Nelson said no. Mr. Barton said it was mainly the newer employees who want to do this work, because they don’t have a lot of comp time built up. Commissioner Robertson said it’s a savings in dollars, but if we make an exception here, you would do it for the other employees. Commissioner Cossairt said it’s just two working days, but they work 10-hour days instead of 8-hour days. Ms. Nelson said she’s always made sure that the employee only had up to 48 hours of comp time and then the employee had to use overtime. This comp time is in addition to the employees’ regular week. Mr. Barton said it would consist of working two Fridays. Chairman Bertling asked if the employees could work two 8-hour days instead of 10-hour days since he’d rather they do that. Ms. Nelson said work the 24-hours of comp time and the rest would be overtime.
Ms. Barton left the meeting at 1:55 p.m.
Ms. Nelson said she and Mr. Barton met with Waterways Board member Brion Poston last week about possibly using ecology blocks for the overflow parking area at the Rocky Point/waterways boat launch. The area was measured out and they came up with 30 ecology blocks. Road and Bridge would need to haul the blocks and put them in place. Mr. Poston knows something will be happening with Idaho Forest Group sometime in the future, so the county could enter into an agreement so that when the blocks need to be moved, Road and Bridge can come and take them. Commissioner Cossairt and Chairman Bertling said they had no problem with that.
Ms. Nelson mentioned having shelving available for county departments if they can us it. Mr. Barton explained that it’s metal shelving similar to what a grocery store would have. Chairman Bertling asked about the ability to store what shelving is not taken at the fairgrounds during winter.
Ms. Nelson said she has quotes for the Westside Road emergency repair project to discuss with Commissioners tomorrow. Mr. Barton reviewed the department report. The newer chip spreader is up and running and he’s hoping to be chip sealing by the end of this week, but if not, the weather looks good for next week. Road and Bridge has a little more rock to haul to Brown Creek Road. The crusher is running. Commissioner Robertson said he’s heard a lot of the rock is off of the fabric on Brown Creek Road and Mr. Barton said he wants to get that taken care of before winter. Road and Bridge will apply magnesium chloride on Brown Creek Road this fall so it will hold over for the winter.
The meeting with Ms. Nelson and Mr. Barton ended at 2:20 p.m.
The quarterly jail inspection was postponed to tomorrow.
There being no further business, the meeting recessed until tomorrow at 9:00 a.m.

The elected officials/department heads meeting ended at 10:30 a.m.
10:39 a.m., Restorium Administrator Karlene Magee provided a department report and reviewed revenue and costs for the months of June through August 2023. Ms. Magee gave examples of methods of outreach in order to attract more residents. Ms. Magee informed Commissioners that she’s having issues with the heaters in the Restorium and the memory boards aren’t the issue.
Ms. Nelson updated Commissioners on the documents for the Westside Road emergency repair project. HMH Engineering sent out three written email requests for quotes to contractors. Wink Inc. replied that they could provide a quote, but they wouldn’t be able to get to the project until the end of year 2023. Ms. Nelson said Road and Bridge wants to get this project fixed prior to snowfall. CE Kramer Crane and Contracting submitted a quote of $118,614.50 and J7 Contracting submitted a quote of $99,777.00. Ms. Nelson said she didn’t find any irregularities in the quotes. J7 Contracting will do wire gabion basket/walls. Ms. Nelson said the quote of $99,777.00 is acceptable and Road and Bridge has $100,000.00 to use and any funds left over can go to fixing Ruby Creek. Ms. Nelson recommended Commissioners accept the quote from J7 Contracting. J7 Contracting has stated they can get started in a week or two, according to Ms. Nelson. The road will be closed for five days to get the repairs done.
