The Elmore County Commissioners met in special session on the above date in the Commissioner’s Room, basement of the Elmore County Courthouse, 150 South 4th East, Mountain Home, Idaho. The purpose of the special meeting was to discuss an easement owned by Elmore County.

Present at the meeting were Chairperson Mary Egusquiza-Stanek, and Commissioners Larry Rose and Calvin Ireland. Also present at the meeting were Clerk Gail Best and Prosecutor Aaron Bazzoli.

Commissioner Ireland stated he felt the meeting should be called to discuss the issue of the County’s easement and the site preparation being done by the Desert Sage Health Center. Commissioner Ireland stated he was very concerned because construction is being done at the site, including some work being done on the easement owned by Elmore County. Commissioner Ireland stated at this meeting the Board should decide how they want to move forward before it is too late to minimize the damage.

The Board placed a call to Russ Moorhead of Lombard and Conrad to discuss the options. Chairperson Egusquiza-Stanek asked how large a pipe would the County need and Mr. Moorhead stated he felt the County should have a 10 inch pipe.
