COMMISSIONERS MINUTES
MARCH 28, 2005
The Elmore County Commissioners met in regular session on the above date in the
Commissioners room, basement of the Elmore County Courthouse, 150 South 4th
East, Mountain Home, Idaho.
Present at the meeting were Chairman Larry Rose, and Commissioner Connie Cruser.
Commissioner Egusquiza was absent due to illness. Also present at the meeting
was Clerk Gail Best.
Motion by Rose, second by Cruser, to go into Executive Session pursuant to I.C.
67-2345(b).
ROSE - AYE
EGUSQUIZA - ABSENT
CRUSER - AYE Motion carried and so ordered.
Prosecutor Bazzoli joined the meeting. Regular session was resumed, no action
was taken as result of the Executive Session.
The Department Heads and Elected Officials met with the Board for their regular
monthly meeting. Jim Haydon, Assessor, stated his office was busy changing
values for the assessment roll. This year the notices will be sent out for
mailing to a contracted company. The notification zone for notifying residents
of planning and zoning pending actions was discussed. Jim stated his office
normally has done the task of finding names and addresses for the applicants but
the question of whether the task might better be done by the Growth &
Development Department has come up. Bonnie Sharp of Growth and Development
joined Jim Haydon at the table. There was discussion concerning where the duty
was better placed, since the Growth and Development Department requires that the
applicant provide the information. Bonnie stated that the County could probably
provide other information required from the applicant but the information is a
condition of the application being approved. There was discussion on the time
involved in providing the notification information by which ever office handled
it. Dan Collins suggested perhaps a public computer could be purchased for the
applicants to do their own information for notification. Dan stated the office
where the public computer was located would have to show the applicants how to
use the computer, but the applicants could do the work. The Board suggested Dan
explore the possibility of obtaining a public computer for use in doing the
necessary research. Chairman Rose asked Jim Haydon about a letter from the State
Tax Commission regarding categories considered out of compliance with assessment
level standards based on the 2004 ratio study and Jim replied that his
appraisers are working on it.
Gail Best, Clerk, stated that the Employee Committee had recently heard a
presentation done by representatives of the Gem Plan regarding health insurance.
Gail said twenty of Idaho’s forty-four counties had signed on thus far and two
more were exploring signing on. Gail stated that the Committee did not recommend
changing from Blue Cross to the Gem Plan at this time, but felt that Elmore
County should not bury their head in the sand either and keep up with the times
and at least receive a quote from the Gem Plan. Forms were given to each
department. Gail told the department heads and elected officials that to receive
the quote 100% of the employees need to fill out the enrollment form and that
the department heads would be responsible for seeing that each of their
employees complied by completing the form. Forms should be placed in envelopes
to protect the privacy of employees and the envelopes turned in to the auditor’s
office by April 11, 2005. Clerk Best added that they should stress to their
employees that Elmore County has no intention of leaving Blue Cross at this time
and that any questions should be directed to the Employee Committee
representative in their office.
Bonnie Sharp representing the Growth and Development Department stated that she
would do her best to limit the distance for notification to cut down on the work
for Jim Haydon’s office. Chairman Rose cautioned Ms. Sharp not to limit it so
much that proper notification isn’t given to an adequate number of people. Ms.
Sharp stated that one Planning and Zoning Commissioner has resigned and she was
in hopes that a replacement could be appointed soon.
Marla Spence, Coroner, stated that all is fine in her department.
Ted Knudson representing Juvenile Probation gave the Board copies of his
activity report for February and an additional sheet regarding a new oral fluid
testing procedure for drugs. Mr. Knudson stated they have compared the new test
to urine tests on the same person, and if the urine test shows positive, so has
the oral test. Mr. Knudson added that the test was not really expensive to use.
Dan Collins, Plant Facilities Manager, reported that he had received the
building permit for the fence at the 8th Street property. Dan stated that they
will be pouring a cement pad when they can to put up a small shed to store some
tools out there for when they are working on weed control and the drip system.
Dan stated that new carpet will be installed on the weekend in District Court,
and that the moving company will move all the furniture out on Friday and be
back to put the furnishings back on Monday. Dan and his staff will dismantle all
the desks and put them back together during the project.
Tom Gibbon, Chief of Security, stated he had nothing to report.
Rose Plympton, Treasurer, stated there is a possibility that she will be
handling another Public Administrator case, she and Marla Spence have been
working together on it. Rose also reported that she believes there may be ten
tax deed properties for April.
Rick Layher, Sheriff, stated he has decided to put the security camera on a
building rather than a pole in King Hill. Sheriff Layher thinks it would be
cheaper than paying for a utility pole. Rick said he would like to pay the
building owner a small stipend for electricity costs. Sheriff Layher also stated
his office would not have to be involved in the case of the body found in the
Glenns Ferry area, as the victim was killed in Ada County so it would be an Ada
County case. Sheriff Layher also reported that the Elmore County fugitive hiding
in Mexico was featured on America’s Most Wanted on Saturday night and that
Detective Mike Barclay and an Idaho State Police officer were on hand to take
telephone tip calls.
Prosecutor Aaron Bazzoli stated that normally his office files 120 felonies per
year but this year there have been 54 filed during the first quarter. Aaron also
reported there are 35 active juvenile cases. Aaron stated that Mr. Velan’s case
will be going to District Court for trial possibly during August. The Prosecutor
has also been working with the Treasurer’s office on bankruptcy. Aaron requested
the Board decide if they want to consider a reconsideration on Weitz and
Company.

two separate issues that are before them. Mr. Franck stated he was not going to
speak about specifics. Mr. Franck continued by saying that a problem exists in
Gooding County according to the article in the Mountain Home News recently. Mr.
Franck stated he had telephoned the author of a recent article who is a
Commissioner over there to discuss the matter. Mr. Franck stated he hoped the
Board would take the points mentioned in that article very seriously.
Carl Vaughn, 1000 Hidden Pines, Pine, Idaho, appeared before the Board to say
that the residents there have been having trouble with the dumpsters at the
collection site. There is carpeting, roofing, drywall, and decking material in
the dumpsters at the site and also in the dumpsters at the camp grounds. The
construction material makes the dumpsters impossible to empty, which is causing
a big problem. The Board stated they are trying to work on the problems
occurring at the rural collection sites, but admit it is a problem that does not
seem to go away. Chairman Rose explained they are going to try surveillance
cameras at one site to see how that would work, and if it does, they could
slowly do other sites as finances allow. The Board thanked Mr. Vaughn for
alerting them of the problem.
Ron Hiddleston, of Hiddleston Well Drilling, 1240 W. Beaman Street, Mountain
Home, appeared before the Board to talk about water issues. Mr. Hiddleston
stated he believes there is a problem occurring at Growth and Development
because he has had five different developers in the last thirty days come and
say they are being told by Growth and Development that they can’t have
individual wells, only community wells. Mr. Hiddleston said that community wells
systems are much more costly to the developer, because they must be put in prior
to the lots being sold. If individual wells are allowed, the developer only must
be able to reveal what the cost will be to put in an individual well to the
buyer. Various water issues, in general, were discussed. Mr. Hiddleston gave the
Board copies of
a letter from the Idaho Department of Water Resources regarding residential
subdivision and single family and community wells.
