***Monday, April 18, 2011, Commissioners met in regular session with Chairman Ron Smith, Commissioner Dan Dinning, Commissioner Walt Kirby, and Deputy Clerk Michelle Rohrwasser.

9:00 a.m., Road and Bridge Superintendent Jeff Gutshall joined the meeting to give the departmental report. Mr. Gutshall presented a written report. Mr. Gutshall said in addition to grading, he is re-opening roads and issuing partial permits.

Mr. Gutshall spoke of work to the Farm to Market Road, which consists of 1.6 miles of re-basing. Mr. Gutshall said Road and Bridge is starting with installing culvert, cutting the area wider, and sub-basing so the trucks will travel on new rock. All Road and Bridge crew would be out working on projects today, except they are attending first aid training and having their hearing tests done. Chairman Smith asked if Farm to Market Road will be complete after this work is done. Mr. Gutshall said this road could be chip-sealed from Hauck’s north, but the area near the Olson’s is built over old base and that area needs base. The area north could be chip-sealed all of the way through, according to Mr. Gutshall.

Mr. Gutshall said patching material will be very high this year and he may have to dip into his dust abatement budget. Mr. Gutshall said he did take a look at the standing water at Riverside Ball Park and at some point, he will have an excavator to redirect the water.

Those present briefly discussed the current road restriction ordinance. Mr. Gutshall said Ordinance #2000-02 may need to be more stringent. Mr. Gutshall asked about filing charges to a certain party for injury to property.

Mr. Gutshall discussed damage, repairs, and priorities and he said this is the time of year he receives calls from people needing more rock on their road. Mr. Gutshall explained there are priority projects.

Mr. Gutshall spoke of a shear that split on Lion’s Den Road. The debris didn’t come far into the road and it is passable, according to Mr. Gutshall. Mr. Gutshall said he finished filing the Federal Highway Administration claims for road damage. Mr. Gutshall and Commissioners spoke of funding for road damage caused by heavy precipitation, which has been made available since the State and some counties have declared an emergency for heavy precipitation.

The meeting with Mr. Gutshall ended at 9:20 a.m.

Commissioner Dinning moved to approve the Idaho Liquor Catering Permit filed by the Moyie Club allowing alcohol to be served in accordance with Boundary County Alcohol Beverage License #035 at the Moyie Mud Bog over the dates of May 6, 7, and 8, 2011. Commissioner Kirby second. Motion passed unanimously.

9:25 a.m., Roger Fraser joined the meeting.

9:30 a.m., Mr. Fraser met with Commissioners to discuss the Fourth of July fireworks display. Mr. Fraser said he hasn’t had any connections to the fireworks display over the last couple years, but he understands the City of Bonners Ferry and Boundary County jointly provided insurance coverage for that display. Mr. Fraser said Skip O’Fallon has been in charge of the fireworks display, but he retired last year. Mr. O’Fallon said he is still willing to assist, but he is not able to assist with funding, according to Mr. Fraser. Mr. Fraser said he was seeking Commissioners’ support for insurance coverage. Mr. Fraser said his own insurance was going to provide coverage, but the policy doesn’t cover fireworks. Commissioner Dinning asked if there was a civic organization that had been responsible for the fire-works display. Commissioner Dinning said for clarity, his thinking was there had always been a civic organization involved and their liability insurance was involved.

Commissioner Dinning moved to provide insurance coverage along with the City of Bonners Ferry for the annual fireworks display. Commissioner Kirby second. Motion passed unanimously.

Chairman Smith suggested clarification for the aforementioned motion to include the fire-works display is being put on by the Praise and Salute Group and Boundary Community Television.

Commissioner Dinning moved to amend his motion to approve the joint liability insurance coverage in conjunction with the City of Bonners Ferry for the Fourth of July fire-work event put on the by Praise and Salute Group to be held at the fairgrounds. Commissioner Kirby second. Motion passed unanimously.  

Commissioner Dinning moved to approve the minutes of April l1 and 12, 2011. Commissioner Kirby second. Motion passed unanimously. 

10a.m., Ron Frederickson and Kevin Frederickson of Frederickson’s Bonners Ferry Garbage met with Commissioners to discuss franchise agreements with the County.  Chairman Smith referred to County Ordinance #74-2, Section 1, which states Wilbur Frederickson was given a franchise to collect and haul rubbish within the limits of the County. This Ordinance also states the franchise agreement was effective through November 1, 1978 and such permit shall continue thereafter until revoked by the Board of Commissioners. Chairman Smith said it sounds like there is still an effective ordinance. Mr. Frederickson spoke of his company’s involvement with the landfill. Commissioner Dinning said this matter had also been discussed with the prior Board of Commissioners where Commissioners stated there was no longer an agreement in place, but he doesn’t know the reason why. Commissioner Dinning asked what the purpose of the franchise is. Mr. Frederickson said to secure a system for him to haul and not have undue competition for functionality. Commissioner Dinning said the agreement was for those individuals with private pickup and it allows Mr. Frederickson to charge those residents within the County, but not to the exclusivity that Boundary County could not do its job. Mr. Frederickson said he would like to make any agreement right and eliminate the question of an existing agreement. Chairman Smith informed Mr. Frederickson Commissioners would have the county attorney review Ordinance #74-2 to determine if it is still in affect. Mr. Frederickson said he would like to enter into a new contract and begin fresh. Mr. Frederickson said he has only two years on paper for the banks even though there is technically a 40-year track record. Chairman Smith questioned what the wording of a new contract would consist of. Mr. Frederickson said he could present his contract that the City has signed for Commissioners to review. This is essentially looking to enter into a new franchise agreement, according to Commissioner Dinning.

The meeting with Ron Frederickson and Kevin Frederickson ended at 10:15 a.m.

10:30 a.m., Bureau of Homeland Security Local Area Field Officer Jay Baker, Boundary County Emergency Services Incident Commander Bob Graham, and Director Dave Kramer joined the meeting to discuss the emergency declaration allowing for funds for damage to roads caused by heavy precipitation.

Commissioner Dinning moved to adopt Resolution 2011-25. A resolution ratifying the Local Disaster/Emergency Declaration relating to road damage caused by heavy precipitation. Commissioner Kirby second. Motion passed unanimously. Resolution 2011-25 reads as follows:

RESOLUTION 2011-25

RATIFYING LOCAL DISASTER/EMERGENCY DECLARATION

WHEREAS, Boundary County has experienced heavy precipitation in early April 2011, and

WHEREAS, due to this excessive precipitation, Boundary County incurred excessive damage to its infrastructure, including road damage, and an emergency was declared on April 12, 2011, and

NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved, that the Board of County Commissioners of Boundary County, State of Idaho, declare an emergency and request State and Federal assistance, and the aforementioned declaration is ratified by this resolution.

Mr. Graham provided a summary of broadband capabilities for video. Mr. Graham said a lot has taken place. Mr. Baker, Mr. Graham, and Steve Steiner, who is over Bureau of Homeland Security (BHS) processes for broadband, are looking details over. Mr. Steiner will have technicians run a global positioning system (GPS) on what services have been proposed, which is a route from the waterways building to the City of Bonners Ferry tower to the Extension Office and then to the Courthouse. Mr. Graham said he doesn’t see major impediments and the process will probably go the way it is planned. Mr. Kramer said the Public Safety Communication’s (PSC) cost of what is provided equates to $16,000. There will be some cost to the County for the Extension Office portion, according to Mr. Graham. Mr. Kramer said the County will have to cover the electrical work to the Extension Office. Mr. Graham said the County needs to be alert to that as the next thing to happen is Mr. Steiner’s technicians will survey what has to be done and what the County needs to do to get phone lines installed. The County will have to hire a technician to get power in the closet in the Extension Office and possibly to put up an antenna. Commissioners need to decide if they want Mr. Steiner’s technician to bring the line to the Courthouse as it may be less expensive. Mr. Kramer said the County’s share of costs can be covered by BHS funds.

Road and Bridge Superintendent Jeff Gutshall joined the meeting at 10:37 a.m.

Mr. Baker said there are multiple funding sources to work on this project. The PSC is to get this service to the Extension Office and from there, BHS has some funding available, but this funding is significantly less than originally discussed. The internal costs have yet to be determined and that needs to be done prior to receiving grant approval. This process will provide broadband capabilities for the Emergency Operation Center (EOC) at the Extension Office. All costs beyond that cannot be borne by BHS or the PSC. The PSC technicians can bring this service to the Courthouse if Commissioners would like and the County can be billed for that. Costs associated with this project will be broken down into sections. Chairman Smith asked if the County will know what the costs will be that are associated with the Extension Office. Mr. Kramer said BHS funds can complete the portion of the service to the Extension Office. Commissioner Dinning said the only hard costs will be from The Extension Office to the Courthouse and those costs inside the Courthouse. Mr. Kramer said once the technicians arrive they will work up a cost order. Commissioner Kirby asked how scheduling works for the technicians involved with the broadband project. Mr. Graham said a broadband technician will come up from Coeur d’ Alene and inform Boundary County what needs to be done for power. Mr. Graham said City of Bonners Ferry Assistant Administrator David Sims has approved the County’s use of the City tower. It was said that Eric Lederhos of E.L. Automation built the tower and thought he owned it, but there is a clause in the permit that the ownership of the tower would be transferred to the City after 10 years. Mr. Sims is meeting with Mr. Lederhos who has agreed to the changes in that agreement so the County should be able to deal with just the City. Mr. Graham said next to the City Shop is a small building that holds electronic components for the tower. Mr. Steiner said more holes may have to be drilled to get electrical service for his equipment. Mr. Sims said there is no problem using that building too, according to Mr. Gutshall.

Chairman Smith spoke of Colonel Bill Shawver with the Bureau of Homeland Security (BHS) coming to talk with Commissioners. Mr. Baker said Colonel Shawver is coming to talk about road damage and to talk with emergency managers. Mr. Baker said Colonel Shawver will meet with Commissioners to answer any questions they have as his schedule allows.

Chairman Smith explained that he and Road and Bridge Superintendent Jeff Gutshall received a telephone call from Mr. Graham during their road tour last week and were informed of the road damage and that is when the emergency was declared. Mr. Gutshall said there are three fairly important corrections to the paperwork prior to submission such as Westside Road is called Lion’s Den Road, Fleming Creek is spelled wrong, and the percentage of financing is incorrect.

Mr. Graham said he knows the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will accept in-kind work. Mr. Graham said BHS will have their representatives come up and FEMA and BHS will review the three problem areas and make their own assessment to see if they qualify. If the President agrees to the declaration of emergency, it will have to be decided if these three routes are the Federal Highways Administration’s (FHA) responsibility or not. The routes will either fall under FEMA or FHA. There are two routes that are major collectors, but Fleming Creek is not one of them, according to Mr. Gutshall. Mr. Gutshall said the entire Westside Road is part of the Federal aid route. Mr. Baker explained the meaning of Forest Highways and Forest Federal Highways and said there is a difference between the two. Mr. Baker said through this process, FEMA will figure it out.

Chairman Smith said the total estimate of cost for the three projects is close to two million dollars. Fleming Creek Road is $800,000 and Deep Creek and Lion’s Den Roads are both $500,000. Mr. Baker said when FEMA does the original assessment they will go back to the pre-existing condition of the road, not improvements to it. FEMA is only looking at the damage that occurred to the current condition of the road.

Mr. Baker mentioned the need to understand this process is to go through a damage assessment for the six counties that declared a disaster and the only way to reach the Presidential threshold is to combine the total cost for those six counties. Boundary County met the county threshold, but the six counties also have a State threshold to meet. Mr. Baker said the State figures are slightly less than 8.1 million dollars. Mr. Graham said the formula is based on $3.50 per population.

Mr. Kramer informed Commissioners that Road and Bridge helped in picking up sand bags for Emergency Services. Mr. Graham said the Moyie River is starting to rise again, but it is hard to tell for the Kootenai River since it tends to fluctuate. Mr. Graham said Libby Dam Operations representatives are predicting to reach flood stage on the Kootenai River due to the amount of moisture at the Canadian snowtel sites and the days of release for sturgeon. If those two events coincide much, Libby Dam personnel figure the Kootenai River would see flood stage.

The meeting with Mr. Graham, Mr. Kramer, and Mr. Baker ended at 11:08 a.m.

11:30 a.m., Hospital CEO/CFO Craig Johnson joined the meeting to update Commissioners on Hospital matters. The Hospital’s finances were in the red slightly for March due to lower volumes, but year to date is still in the black. Volumes for the month of April have improved, according to Mr. Johnson. The Fry Education Center is getting work done and the projected opening is July 31, 2011. Mr. Johnson said pictures will be taken during construction for the purpose of reimbursement for the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA).

Mr. Johnson said the Hospital is still on schedule for electronic health records to go live in September and then he will have to jump through the Federal Government hoops for reimbursement. Commissioner Dinning inquired looking down the road, what is the next thing to improve at the Hospital. Mr. Johnson said expanding the surgery area and he is trying to find grant dollars for planning as it is nothing to just jump into. This area is an expensive space to build and he mentioned the limitation of the Hospital facility due to the location of the helipad, etc., so he mentioned having to contemplate building up. Commissioner Dinning inquired into the annual cost for the elevators at the Hospital. Mr. Johnson said the service for both elevators is $400 per quarter and there is always something as elevators are the most expensive pieces of equipment to maintain. Every five years, the State of Idaho has a certification process to go through. Mr. Johnson said he could provide Commissioners with the Hospital’s costs associated with the elevators over the last five years.

The meeting with Mr. Johnson ended at 11:45 a.m.

Commissioners recessed for lunch.

1:30 p.m., Commissioners reconvened for the afternoon session with Chairman Ron Smith, Commissioner Dan Dinning, Commissioner Walt Kirby, and Deputy Clerk Michelle Rohrwasser.

1:30 p.m., Jim Crowley, Director for the Idaho Department of Juvenile Corrections and Boundary County Chief Probation Officer Stacy Brown joined the meeting.

Mr. Crowley presented Commissioners with the policy and forms for the County Juvenile Justice Report to the Idaho Department of Juvenile Corrections for FY 2009-2010. These reports give the description of the program plan for Juvenile Probation funding. The report also describes the distribution and explains some of the reports Mr. Crowley’s department asks for from the county. Ms. Brown puts together the reports for Mr. Crowley who submits the information to the Director of the Juvenile Justice Department and then the State law makers. The reports also reflect the recidivism rates and reimbursement rates, according to Mr. Crowley. Chairman Smith asked how much is received in State funding and how much does Boundary County have in the budget for its Probation Department consisting of Ms. Brown, two probation officers, and a programmer. Mr. Crowley spoke of the percentage of State funding and said last year funding equaled 61% of the Juvenile Justice budget for Ms. Brown. Ms. Brown added this percentage also includes salaries.

Those present reviewed the form providing the State fiscal year distribution of Juvenile Corrections Act funds and tobacco tax funds to the counties from year 2004 through year 2012. The county fiscal year projects $30,140. Mr. Crowley reviewed the distribution list. Mr. Crowley spoke of the lottery funds and looking at year 2005 the amount was $30,009.94 and last year Boundary County received a little more than $34,000. The funds coming in are for the Juvenile Justice programs. Those present spoke of tobacco dollars and how they fluctuate.

Mr. Crowley said something that is in the works this year is state lawmakers in session will make a decision to reduce the funds that are given to the Department of Health and Welfare for substance abuse disorders for adolescents. The lawmakers like the track record of distribution for Juvenile Corrections Act funds. Mr. Crowley said there have been gaps in juvenile services in this area so it was said to take that 4 million dollars and figure out how to best use it. Mr. Crowley said he was told if counties are given funds to develop contracts in their own community with their own treatment providers, that county would be accountable for funds that are received from the Department for treating juveniles for chemical dependencies. Ms. Brown mentioned coordinating with a provider having certain accreditations and holding group sessions or one on one sessions with juveniles at no cost to the juveniles or the county. This method could catch juveniles that are right on the cusp of chemical dependencies. The dollar amount for this program is unknown, but discussion will be held on what this formula will look like, according to Mr. Crowley. It is based on adolescents between the ages of 10 and 17. The counties that get involved will contract with someone as opposed to hiring. Ms. Brown spoke of going through Business Psychology Associates and if they qualify, they would conduct assessments and provide treatment. The Alliance Treatment Center will assist and if the juvenile misses a session, the service provider will notify the Probation Department. Mr. Crowley clarified and stressed that this topic is just in the discussion stage and is not set in stone. Commissioner Dinning said as long as there is the ability to adapt to each community’s needs.

The meeting with Ms. Brown and Mr. Crowley ended at 1:55 p.m.

***Tuesday, April 19, 2011, Commissioners met in regular session with Chairman Ron Smith, Commissioner Dan Dinning, Commissioner Walt Kirby, and Deputy Clerk Michelle Rohrwasser.

9:00 a.m., Commissioners held an elected officials/department heads meeting. Present were: Chairman Ron Smith, Commissioner Dan Dinning, Commissioner Walt Kirby, Chief Deputy Clerk Tracie Isaac, Treasurer Jenny Fessler, Assessor Dave Ryals, Courthouse Maintenance Jerry Kothe, Extension Office Educator Carol Hampton, Prosecutor’s Office Manager Tammie Goggia, Planning and Zoning Administrator Mike Weland, Sheriff Greg Sprungl, Chief Probation Officer Stacy Brown, Restorium Administrator Karlene Magee, Road and Bridge Superintendent Jeff Gutshall, and Court Supervisor Rose Sprungl.

Chairman Smith said all Commissioners have on the agenda is to discuss the upcoming budget. Chairman Smith said there were early indications the State would be taking a lot of revenue sharing funds, but he hasn’t heard anything on that issue lately. There is always a concern with sales tax, according to Chairman Smith.

Chairman Smith said as always, in regards to the budget, is the statement that if you don’t need it, please don’t ask for it. Chairman Smith said after county departments have turned in a slim budget he hates asking elected officials and department heads not to spend that budget in order to have cash carry forward for the following year. Sheriff Sprungl asked if the cuts from last year continue for this year such as budget for loss of employees, etc. Chairman Smith suggested the Sheriff make his request on his budget worksheet and to add the employee position to the Sheriff’s Office proposed budget. It was said the current budget for the Sheriff’s Office had been reduced by approximately $250,000.

Chief Deputy Clerk Tracie Isaac thanked those present for the participation in the Idaho Counties Risk Management Program (ICRMP) online training. The County had to have 80% employee participation in order to receive a discount in insurance premiums. Boundary County’s participation was 93% so the County received a discount of approximately $9,000 in insurance premiums. Assessor Ryals asked if this training was free to the County and Chief Deputy Clerk Isaac said yes. Assessor Ryals asked if a County employee has the ability to access this training online on their own and Chief Deputy Clerk Isaac said yes. Chief Deputy Clerk Isaac said this training course will be done annually and she would find out when its best to have a new employee take this training.

Commissioners discussed the upcoming election for the Boundary County School District levy. Chairman Smith said in year 2005, the School District levied 3.4 million dollars, which included the maintenance and operation levy (M&O), school tort, school bond, and the supplemental. The following year the State said the M&O wasn’t needed as the schools would be given the funds so the School District levied 1.8 million dollars. The following year was the emergency levy so the amount increased again. The supplemental levy averaged $850,000 and this supplemental is higher than that. Chairman Smith explained the taxes he has paid to the School District based on his property value. Commissioners said the supplemental pays for extracurricular activities, which in addition to sports includes pay for coaches including travel, school books, and technology. Commissioner Dinning said if this School District levy doesn’t pass, how many initial positions will be cut and what will the true “on the ground” consequences be? Chairman Smith said there is a printout that shows exactly what positions and activities will be cut, but he isn’t sure if that information will be presented at the meeting held by the School District on Thursday.

The elected officials/department heads meeting ended at 9:30 a.m.    

9:30 a.m., There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
