in the day for review at the regular Commissioner’s meeting to be held March

Bill Moore, representing RC&D and Nick Schilz, Chief Deputy Sheriff appeared
before the Board to provide clarification of the All Hazard grant. Mr. Moore
explained that they are dealing with two separate grants, one is a FEMA grant
and the other is a Bureau of Disaster Services grant. Mr. Moore stated there are
three counties involved in the grants; Ada, Canyon, and Elmore. Elmore County
has paid $1,500.00 already in matching funds and will still owe $5,325.00, which
can be budgeted in the 2005 budget. Nick Schilz will put the $5,325.00 in his
budget request. The Board thanked Mr. Moore for coming in and explaining the
grant to them.
Merlin and Judith Lords of Atlanta, Idaho, appeared before the Board to discuss
some concerns about the Atlanta area. Mrs. Lords explained they had moved to
Atlanta from Boise about three years ago and are planning to retire there. The
Lords feel there is a serious problem with the interaction amongst the residents
there. Mrs. Lord stated there are real problems with the Highway District in
Atlanta. The situation with the Atlanta residents was discussed at length. The
Board told the Lords that they were not in a position to do much about public
attitude in the community of Atlanta. Sheriff Layher stated he would try to have
a deputy present at the Highway District meetings in hopes that the meetings
would be much more orderly.
