***Monday, August 29, 2016, at 9:00 a.m., Commissioners met in regular session with Chairman Dan Dinning, Commissioner LeAlan Pinkerton, Commissioner Walt Kirby, Clerk Glenda Poston, and Deputy Clerk Michelle Rohrwasser.

Commissioners gave the opening invocation and said the Pledge of Allegiance.

9:00 a.m., Road and Bridge Department Superintendent Clint Kimball joined the meeting to give his departmental report. Mr. Kimball presented a written report.

Mr. Kimball reviewed his department report with Commissioners. Mr. Kimball spoke of his experience using the rented chipper, which is being returned today; the meeting with the engineers for the Federal Lands Access Program (FLAP) project went well; a portion of the roof structure is done on the sand shed; grading is finished; and Road and Bridge is applying water to Smith Lake Road to keep the calcium chloride working.

Mr. Kimball said Road and Bridge trimmed a few trees on vacant property near the corner of Blume Hill Road and Shingle Mill Loop as these trees knock the power out during wind storms and people have called about it.

Mr. Kimball said he is going to check on the Deep Creek boat launch as when equipment was used to clear the sediment, it may have actually created a hump of sediment in the water. The boat launch should be clear and ready for Labor Day Weekend, according to Mr. Kimball.

Mr. Kimball mentioned clean-up is taking place at the District 15 pit.

Mr. Kimball informed Commissioners the Naples Bridge was hit by an over-height truck again last Monday and he added that he has spoken to Ryan Comer with Alta Mill and he thinks they are making some headway on this issue. It was said there needs to be an over-height detector at the mill’s entrance and the trucks shouldn’t be loaded over 14.5 feet. Mr. Kimball said if the Naples Bridge had to be shut down, Alta would not have a resource for logs. When a truck driver sees the height limit sign as they approach the bridge they should know whether or not their load is too tall for the bridge. Mr. Kimball said state statute sets the fine for over-height trucks at $300 so if the county were to assess a fine, it could not be more than $300.

9:15 a.m., Commissioner Kirby 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 Pinkerton second. Commissioners voted as follows: Chairman Dinning “aye”, Commissioner Pinkerton “aye”, and Commissioner Kirby “aye”. Motion passed unanimously. The executive session ended at 9:30 a.m.

9:31 a.m. Commissioners contacted County Civil Attorney Tevis Hull via telephone to review various matters.
Commissioner Kirby moved to recess as the Board of Boundary County Commissioners and to convene as the Boundary County Ambulance Service District Governing Board. Commissioner Pinkerton second. Motion passed unanimously.

Chairman Dinning said this is a special meeting to review the contract for ambulance service. Chairman Dinning said he has spoken with a Boundary Volunteer Ambulance (BVA) representative about BVA’s questions and Clerk Poston also had a comment about the funding formula. Chairman Dinning said if the county’s market values increase, the Ambulance Service District is tied to a dollar amount and the county can only increase by a certain amount so how can we change the verbiage. Clerk Poston said our new construction is based on the previous year’s levy. Attorney Hull said he would modify the language and Clerk Poston can review it prior to approval. Attorney Hull said he took out quite a bit of old language from the contract based on what took place three years ago. Chairman Dinning said this proposed contract is for a two year term whereas the prior contract was for three years. Chairman Dinning said Commissioners had talked about inserting the language into the contract that it will automatically renew unless either party wishes not to.

Attorney Hull said he will work on the funding clause and the portion pertaining to extending the contract or automatic renewal. Attorney Hull explained the funding clause is written the way it is because of different formulas used for the prior years.

Chairman Dinning said BVA’s attorney has reviewed the contract and gave it his approval.
