Meeting Minutes

***Monday, December 15, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., Commissioners met in regular session with Chairman Robertson, Commissioner Tim Bertling, Commissioner Pinkerton, Clerk Glenda Poston, and Deputy Clerk Stephanie Sims.

Commissioner Bertling moved to recess as the Boundary County Board of Commissioners and reconvene as the Boundary County Ambulance Service District Governing Board. Commissioner Pinkerton second. Motion passed unanimously.

Commissioner Bertling moved to approve the minutes from the meeting on November 17, 2025. Commissioner Pinkerton second. Motion passed unanimously.

Chief Lindsey stated that they have had 104 calls for service with chute times of 1 minute 44 seconds. Several employees are working to add Optional Module Skills to their licensing. They are hoping to have that completed early in the new year. They are short one employee who was out on an extended leave to deal with an ill family member.

The conversation then switched to the URD. Chairman Robertson asked Mr. Sims if they removed the Ambulance from the URD, how much would that be. Mr. Sims stated that he has not yet received those numbers so he was unsure. He also described that the URD does have some contractual indebtedness in both districts that the URD board would need to consider if they were asked.

Chief Lindsey stated that it was allowed in Dover and Sandpoint. He was not sure if it was allowed anywhere else. Chairman Robertson then clarified that if they sent a request to the URD it could either be approved or denied. Mr. Sims replied yes they will have to look at what amounts they have committed to and added that the deadline was May 1.

Ms. Poston stated that we tried last year, but missed the deadline. Mr. Sims added that there would be additional properties included on the subroll, but again stated that he was not sure of what the figures were.

Commissioner Bertling moved to proceed on the matter to withdraw the Ambulance District from the URD. Commissioner Pinkerton second. Motion passed unanimously.

Mr. Sims stated that their next regular meeting would be in February, but they could have a special meeting at any time.

The meeting with Mr. Sims and Chief Linsey ended at 10:14 a.m. and they left the meeting.
