***Monday, January 12, 2025 at 9:00 a.m., Commissioners met in regular session with Chairman Ben Robertson, Commissioner Tim Bertling, Commissioner Lester Pinkerton, Clerk Glenda Poston, and Deputy Clerk Stephanie Sims.
Commissioners said the Pledge of Allegiance.
Fair Board Executive Director Jaycee Atkins and American Legion Post 55 Commander JoAnn Danner entered the meeting at 8:58 a.m. Ms. Danner stated that they wanted to install a security system at Veterans Memorial Hall because of a theft from the display case that they believe happened during the fair. They purchased a system, but then found out that they couldn’t install it because the building was county owned.
Chairman Robertson agreed that it was a liability for the county to have a system owned by someone else installed in a county building. He also added that the Fair Board/staff monitors the security system that is currently in place.
Maintenance Supervisor Squire Fields entered the meeting at 9:04 a.m.
Ms. Atkins stated that they have cameras focused on the outside of the building, but nothing inside. Ms. Poston asked about locking the cabinets. Ms. Danner stated that they are locked, but it wasn’t very secure.
Ms. Atkins stated that Veterans Memorial Hall was the most rented building and because of that the code to access the building was given out frequently. There are a large number of people who use it.
Greg Lamberty entered the meeting at 9:05 a.m.
Ms. Danner stated that she would look into the cost of putting different locks on the cabinet and suggested that they might need to do something different during the fair to protect items.
Bonners Ferry Herald Reporter Noah Harris entered the meeting at 9:07 a.m.
Ms. Danner stated that when she started her post, she walked through the building and the basement was full of stuff. Any item that was fabric or paper was moldy so she had it removed. The basement frequently has standing water which causes a musty smell in the building. She stated that her son was a contractor and he suggested a fan to help draw out some of the moisture and musty smell to make the room more usable. He also suggested spraying the wall with bleach water and mold retardant.
Chairman Robertson said that before you get too carried away, Veterans Memorial Hall was a Boundary County building on fairgrounds property, so the County and Fair Board are involved in all maintenance and day to day activities.
Mr. Fields stated that there was a sump pump in the basement that runs constantly to remove the water that leaks in.
Commissioner Pinkerton suggested a radon type fan might be a better option.
Ms. Danner stated that she was told it was an American Legion building, so she had some acoustics put in for better sound and has also looked at replacing the windows.
Ms. Poston stated that the windows were replaced during her tenure. Commissioner Pinkerton asked why she felt the windows need to be replaced. Ms. Danner stated she thought they were single paned and that they were losing a lot of energy. Commissioner Pinkerton felt there was probably a lot more to consider. It sounds like the windows might already meet the standard.
Commissioner Pinkerton asked about insulation. Mr. Fields stated that the insulation was removed and new was blown in before he took over. Commissioner Pinkerton replied spending money to put new windows in won’t make much difference. You have to look at the whole package. He also suggested using a thermal camera to see where the issues were.
Ms. Danner stated that she wants the building to stay in good shape and have it taken care of. She stated she would check into radon fans and then asked about procedures for purchasing.
Chairman Robertson asked her to get quotes for Commissioners and the Fair Board to consider. If they were willing to donate funds, we can probably work with you, but all decisions are made by the County. Ms. Danner stated that they also had veterans with skills that were willing to help. Chairman Robertson replied in that case we have to go through a process and the Fair Board also has to be included because the building was located on fairground property. All expenses have to go through the county.
Ms. Danner then clarified ownership of tables and chairs. Commissioners confirmed the tables and chairs were also owned by the county and should have county inventory tags on them. There was some question about tables and chairs in the basement that might belong to the American Legion. Ms. Danner will check for inventory tags.
Fay Almond entered the meeting at 9:20 a.m.
Ms. Danner then confirmed that the Veterans Memorial Hall does not belong in any way to the American Legion. Chairman Robertson confirmed that was correct and explained ownership of the building and the Veterans Memorial Fund and its purpose.
Ms. Poston mentioned that there was some money that had been earmarked for their sign if they were able to obtain a permit from the state. Ms. Danner stated that she was working through the process in an attempt to get a waiver for the permit.
The meeting with Ms. Danner and Ms. Atkins ended at 9:25 a.m. and they left the meeting.
Mr. Fields stated that pads for the AED’s are expired and he was needing to purchase about 9 sets. Ms. Poston replied that there are special funds for that purpose and asked Mr. Fields to come see her. The ambulance can order them for us.
Personnel Director Pam Barton entered the meeting at 9:28 a.m.
Chairman Robertson stated that we should have them provide a training so that everyone knows how to use them. Ms. Poston agreed and suggested they also provide training on Narcan.
Mr. Fields then stated that they also do not have tourniquets on any county property and he would like to purchase some so that they can be available for use in an emergency before an ambulance arrives. Commissioner Bertling stated that was something that can cause more damage than good if you are not trained. He suggested that we have them at certain locations that make sense, but not all.
The meeting with Mr. Fields ended at 9:31 a.m. and he left the meeting.
Mr. Lamberty left the meeting at 9:32 a.m.
Civil Attorney Bill Wilson entered the meeting at 9:33 a.m. and stated that he had a meeting scheduled that afternoon regarding one of the executive sessions, so he didn’t feel the board needed to proceed with that one at this time.
Mr. Harris left the meeting at 9:35 a.m.
Mr. Wilson stated that they continue to work on a significant number of PRR. Chairman Robertson asked if requests from news agencies should follow the same processes as everyone else. Mr. Wilson replied yes, the process was the same.
Ms. Almond left the meeting at 9:37 a.m.
Commissioner Bertling moved to go into executive session 74-206(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 Robertson “aye”, Commissioner Bertling “aye”, Commissioner Pinkerton “aye”. Mr. Wilson left the meeting at 9:46 a.m.
Ms. Barton left the meeting at 9:54 a.m.
The executive session ended at 10:00 a.m. No action was taken.
Sheriff Travis Stolley entered the meeting at 10:25 a.m.
At 10:30 a.m. Sheriff Stolley asked if he could get the limit on his credit card raised to $10,000. Everything was over the current limit of $5,000 and he was having to split charges between different cards. He also added that they have not had any issues with getting documents submitted to pay the amounts due. This would be for his card only and it would also have the same restrictions.
Ms. Poston replied that it does require the Clerk’s Office to have to do demands, so you should be using the card for those purposes only.
Sheriff Stolley stated that the Treasurer was looking for approval from the Commissioners. He also stated that he would like to get additional cards for his deputies that travel.
Sheriff Stolley stated that he was working to upgrade the guns and described training that was recently provided by ISP. They will also do additional training in the spring.
Commissioner Bertling moved to authorize raising the limit on Sheriff Stolley’s credit card to $10,000. Commissioner Pinkerton second. Motion passed unanimously.
Sheriff Stolley stated that they have interviewed eight people for open positions in dispatch, but have not been able to hire anyone due to childcare issues.
The meeting with Sheriff Stolley ended at 10:50 a.m. and he left the meeting.
Adrienne Norris entered the meeting at 10:55 a.m. and stated that she had concerns about the jail. Their reports are clean and she felt there were problems.
IT Director Matt Hodges entered the meeting at 10:58 a.m.
Ms. Norris stated that the Commissioners inherited many problems with the jail and she felt voters needed to be educated on the condition.
Mr. Hodges stated that he had forwarded information on the website proposals. Chairman Robertson stated that if both companies are willing to do the website with ADA compliance, they would choose the lowest price. Commissioners also discussed the recent article about the City of Bonners Ferry getting a new website and asked Mr. Hodges to reach out to get a quote from that company as well.
Mr. Hodges then stated that he had not made much progress on the emails. He has had a conversation with them, but no numbers have been received. Chairman Robertson stated that they not only need cost but also information on archiving.
Mr. Hodges replied that it would be a legal hold on the emails. He added that they would have to pay for additional storage and that cost would grow over time. Chairman Robertson stated that he assumed their standard plan comes with something and he would like to see what that cost is.
The meeting with Mr. Hodges ended at 11:10 a.m.
Ms. Norris then asked about the property purchased at the airport. Chairman Robertson stated it was for FAA mitigation to remove obstacles from the flight path. Commissioner Bertling added that power lines are going underground, and any obstacles in the flight path will be removed for safety. The runway will also be updated and that includes some shifting and a short extension. All of the work was to comply with the FAA regulations for safety.
Ms. Norris left the meeting at 11:25 a.m.
Restorium Supervisor Janay Smith entered the meeting at 11:34 a.m. and she provided reports to the Commissioners. She stated that their census was currently at 36 with 10 on the memory care side. There are still staffing concerns for both evening and nightshifts. She also reviewed the past due accounts and provided updates.
Chairman Robertson asked what staffing would look like if you didn’t have memory care. Ms. Smith stated that it would be pretty much the same. She added that Medicaid was currently at 18 with 3 pending. The amounts received had increased, because back payments were coming in.
Chairman Roberton asked about the kitchen. Ms. Smith stated that the kitchen continues to be a challenge, with the meals being late. It was hard when the person overseeing that was not there. She also stated that she was struggling with call-ins and shared with Commissioners a policy she hoped to implement. They agreed and stated it should be an in-house policy.
The meeting with Ms. Smith ended at 12:02 p.m. and she left the meeting.
The meeting recessed for lunch at 12:05 p.m.
Commissioners reconvened for the afternoon session at 1:30 p.m. with Chairman Robertson, Commissioner Bertling, Commissioner Pinkerton, Clerk Glenda Poston, and Deputy Clerk Stephanie Sims.
Road & Bridge Superintendent Brad Barton and Assistant Superintendent Adam Ryals entered the meeting at 1:28 p.m. Mr. Barton stated that last week they plowed, sanded, and salt/salt brine on all areas. Traffic counters were placed/picked up on a half dozen roads, a tree was removed from the ROW on Lions Den Rd and they assisted with flagging for a tree removal from Turkey Hollow.
Looking ahead they have a number signs repairs to do, additional traffic counter pickup/placement and winter maintenance. He also stated that they had a grader moving around to hit paved roads to help break up the ice.
Commissioner Bertling moved to sign the local public agency certificate of completion for Right of Way activities for Dayton Way Railroad Crossing. Commissioner Pinkerton second. Motion passed unanimously.
Mr. Ryals stated that they had a conference call with Alta and Great West Engineering on Friday regarding the landfill. They also had an in-person meeting with Panhandle Health. Both meetings went very well and the agencies were happy with the ideas that were presented to them.
Mr. Barton stated that they are looking at ways to get their computer system to work with the one at Solid Waste so they can access information remotely. An electrician was also getting a quote ready for wiring the office addition.
Mr. Barton then asked how to proceed with getting everyone trained for CPR at the Landfill. Commissioners advised to notice the public so they are aware and shut down for a couple hours to get everyone through the class.
Commissioner Bertling moved to sign Resolution 2026-10 amending the Solid Waste Fee Schedule for FY 2025-2026. Commissioner Pinkerton second. Motion passed unanimously.
