Acting Chairman Dinning yielded the chair to second. Motion passed unanimously. Clerk Glenda Poston and Deputy Clerk Nancy Ryals left the meeting. Commissioners tended to administrative duties. Mr. Christian said his trip
to Mr. Christian said with that in mind, part of the purpose of this meeting is to better understand the issues that are encountered as a border county. Mr. Christian said his visit is professional in the interest of business development. In addition to managing the U.S. Mexico Border Counties Coalition, his firm specializes in representing local jurisdictions and the clients tend to be counties, cities, or a coalition of counties. Depending on the success of the northern border counties, Mr. Christian said his firm is also exploring a slightly different business model where the Association can engage his firm. The greater interest for the time being is talking about how to gear the Association of Northern Border Counties. Mr. Christian said the reason the U.S. Mexico Border Counties Coalition formed is the relationships formed with federal partners. Counties become engaged and have open lines of communication with the Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and to maintain good relations with the federal partners. Mr. Christian said when he worked on Capital Hill he worked for Texas Senator Phil Gramm who had a great interest in achieving a balance of managing borders. It is a matter of keeping the bad guys out, but not keeping good stuff from coming in as international commerce is important, according to Mr. Christian. While it’s recognized there is a law enforcement component, one doesn’t want that to be an impediment for foreign trade. Acting Chairman Dinning
asked what the current membership fees or dues
are for the southern states. Mr. Christian said
the southern counties operate on a tiered plan
program that is based largely on population.
There are possibly five highly populated
counties out of the southern 24 counties. Mr.
Christian relayed what the various counties pay
for membership in relation to their population. Commissioner Kirby said
Customs and Border patrol is constructing a
large facility at the Three Mile intersection
and they are anticipating employing
approximately 50 agents. Acting Chairman Dinning
explained the economics of the County’s foreign
trade zone. Acting Chairman Dinning said
recently a local business had an opportunity to
have raw materials come in and reload, but due
to the regulations this company had to go
through and there being no happy medium, this
company stepped down as the operator of the
County’s foreign trade zone. Acting Chairman Dinning
said Mr. Christian referred to
the economy and briefly mentioned learning of
the Grizzly bear DNA study from the Lincoln
County, Montana Commissioners. Acting Chairman
Dinning said Boundary County Commissioners are
well connected to Lincoln County Commissioners.
Kate Kendall conducted the DNA study and
provided the results from the Glacier Recovery
Area, which would ultimately lead to fewer
restrictions. Of the Cabinet-Yaak Grizzly
recovery area, one-quarter of that is in Those present discussed
lumber mills in relation to endangered species.
Acting Chairman Dinning said the majority of
logs had gone to Mr. Christian asked from the law enforcement perspective with counterparts to the north, what are the issues such as illegal immigration. Acting Chairman Dinning said drugs would be more of a problem and not so much illegal immigration. Mr. Christian spoke of
determining how to establish a governing
structure for a northern coalition and he
explained that Mr. Christian said from an
association standpoint, there is the association
membership with a handful of common issues and
the association advocates to other agencies on
the county’s behalf. Mr. Christian said his firm
is an affiliate with NACo in an official
capacity. In March of every year when there are The meeting with Mr.
Christian and Ms. Click ended at There being no further

Commissioner Kirby moved to approve the minutes of August 29 & 30, 2011, September 12 & 13, 2011, and September 26 & 27, 2011. Commissioner Dinning second. Motion passed unanimously. Mr. Skeen provided statistics on recyclable and garbage tonnage to Commissioners along with statistics for the metal and wood piles. Extraction of recyclables at the monitored sites is also helping with reducing tonnage into the landfill, according to Mr. Skeen. Commissioner Dinning said according to year, he would like to take the total of what went into the landfill’s hole and of what is recycled to determine if there is a trend of increase or decrease according to the economy. Mr. Skeen said he and one other employee attended a household waste training meeting. Eventually the County will have a day where household chemicals can be brought to the landfill to be disposed of properly, according to Mr. Skeen. Commissioner Dinning asked how these materials would be disposed of and Mr. Skeen said there is a $2,000 grant that would allow the County to collect, identify, and package the materials and another company ships it off. It is fairly expensive, but it would be good to start looking into this program, according to Mr. Skeen. Those present discussed the
disposal of prescription medication and
household chemicals. Mr. Skeen said Those present discussed the
single stream pick up and whether or not to
continue with a County’s recycle site at Safeway
if the City of The meeting with Mr. Skeen
ended at Commissioners informed Ms. Stalcup and Mr. Dirks of the City’s plans to place a recycling site in the parking lot that adjoins both the Restorium and the Panhandle Health District. Mr. Mayo left the meeting
at Ms. Stalcup and Mr. Dirks provided Commissioners with a Restorium department report to include resident status, etc. Ms. Stalcup spoke of updating policies for the Restorium. Mr. Dirks spoke of working on food storage. The meeting with Ms.
Stalcup and Mr. Dirks ended at Commissioners discussed the issue of time sensitivity in adopting the SRSCA and Forest Community Trust Pilot Program Resolution as well as the Contract with Computer Arts that is due before the end of the week Commissioner Dinning moved to amend the agenda to add signing the Computer Arts Contract Addendum for fiscal year 2011-2012 and for the adoption of a resolution supporting the reauthorization of SRSCA and to establish a Forest Community Trust Pilot Program.

amended a law that requires that 25 percent of
the revenues derived from National Forest lands
be paid to states for use by the counties in

principal source of revenues from National
Forest lands is from the sale and removal of
timber, which has been curtailed in recent years
with a corresponding decline in revenues shared
with counties; and WHEREAS, the
United States Congress recognized a need to
stabilize education and road maintenance funding
through predictable payments to the affected
counties, and to achieve that goal enacted the

forest counties while the federal government
restored sustainable active management to lands
managed by the U.S. Forest Service. WHEREAS, the
creation of a community forest trust pilot
program would allow Congress to implement
sustainable active management practices that
would generate new revenues to help offset the
cost of funding SRSCA and thereby assist
Congress in identifying ways to reduce the
federal deficit; and WHEREAS,
sustainable active management of WHEREAS,
sustainable active management of Idaho forests

thereby reducing the likelihood of devastating
forest fires and the impact of invasive species
and diseases in Idaho’s forests. NOW
