Commissioners met in regular session with
Chairman Ron Smith, Commissioner Walt Kirby, and
Deputy Clerk Michelle Rohrwasser. Commissioner
Dan Dinning was out of the office attending a
Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration
Program (CFLR) meeting.
9:00 a.m., Road and Bridge
Superintendent Jeff Gutshall joined the meeting
to give the Road and Bridge report. Mr. Gutshall
did not present a written report. Chairman Smith
informed Mr. Gutshall that Commissioner Dinning
had received a telephone call that the District
11 Road is in bad condition. Mr. Gutshall said
he would take a look at it. Mr. Gutshall said
Road and Bridge has worked on the rock armor for
the ditches at
Ridgewood Road. Mr.
Gutshall said he always felt the ditches may be
a problem so hopefully the problem has been
addressed. Work has also been done to install
guardrails on
Kent’s
Gulch Road as well as widen
this road and work on the ditches. The patcher
is out today and will do more on Moon Shadow
before more work is done to that road next year,
according to Mr. Gutshall.
Mr. Gutshall said Road and
Bridge has done a lot of work in the Curley
Creek area near the Ronniger property. Mr.
Gutshall said he is now waiting for salt to come
in for winter. The crusher is running great and
there is gravel to haul. Mr. Gutshall said he
still has to put ¾ rock on the Farm to
Market Road
and then this road will be totally done as far
as reconstruction from end to end. Mr. Gutshall
said he still has to do some work at the back of
Gold Road near the
school bus turn-a-round and if he can, he will
work on the District 5 and District 11 roads.
Mr. Gutshall said he has
budgeted for one more pickup truck and he
presented three quotes as required by Idaho
Code. Mr. Gutshall said Riverside Auto had the
highest quote followed by Taylor Parker and Dave
Smith with the lowest quote of $25,708. This
would be a truck used by the Assistant
Superintendent, according to Mr. Gutshall.
Commissioners will schedule a motion to select a
quote the next meeting with Road and Bridge.

To the Board of
Boundary
County
Commissioners
11:14 a.m., Sheriff’s
Office Administrative Deputy Crystal Denton,
Clerk Glenda Poston, and Sheriff Greg Sprungl
joined the meeting to discuss the office lease
with BFI.
Ms. Denton spoke of the
amount of space needed for the Sheriff’s staff
and equipment. Ms. Denton said the lease just
increased to $850 per month and she feels it is
best to sign a yearly lease rather than a two
year lease. Those present reviewed the terms of
the lease. Ms. Denton spoke of water damage that
was sustained in the basement due to a failed
drain pipe and Sheriff Sprungl spoke of having
to pay an $800 repair bill for the air
conditioning unit that belongs to the management
company as the management company refused to pay
the bill.
Commissioner Kirby moved to
authorize the Chairman to sign the building
lease with BFI, Inc. for the Sheriff’s Office
space. Chairman Smith yielded the chair to
second. Motion passed unanimously.
The meeting with Ms.
Denton, Clerk Poston, and Sheriff Sprungl ended
at 11:30 a.m.
11:30 a.m., Hospital Board Chairman
Elden Koon and Hospital CEO/CFO Craig Johnson
joined the meeting to provide Commissioners with
an update on Hospital matters.
Mr. Johnson said the matter
involving postponing the public hearing on the
proposed Ambulance district petition to January
really isn’t very long and he feels it will be
better to put the hearing off due to the
holidays. Mr. Johnson said the Board of Trustees
has passed new bylaws for the Hospital and they
have been reviewed by the Hospital’s counsel.
Commissioners were presented with a copy of the
bylaws. These bylaws adhere to all State
statutes that they should and the Hospital would
like to have these bylaws in place by January.
Mr. Johnson asked Commissioners to review the
bylaws.
Mr. Johnson updated
Commissioners on various Hospital matters. Mr.
Johnson said Dr. Schneider took over Dr.
Newhouse’s family practice. The Hospital is
still recruiting and there is good interest from
an internal medicine physician.
Mr. Johnson said as far as
finances, outpatient services have been slow
throughout the entire year. The Hospital is at a
break even point, but slightly in the red.
Inpatient services have been very busy. Mr.
Johnson invited Commissioner Kirby and
Commissioner Dinning to tour the hospital
facility individually.
The meeting with Mr.
Johnson and Mr. Koon ended at
11:50 a.m.
Commissioners tended to
administrative duties.
12:00 p.m., There being no further
business, the meeting recessed until tomorrow at
9:00 a.m.
Tuesday, October 18, 2011,
Commissioners met in regular session with
Chairman Ron Smith, Commissioner Walt Kirby, and
Deputy Clerk Michelle Rohrwasser. Commissioner
Dan Dinning was out of the office tending to
other business matters.
9:00 a.m., Commissioners held an
elected officials/department heads meeting.
Present were: Chairman Ron Smith, Commissioner
Walt Kirby, Solid Waste Superintendent Claine
Skeen, Prosecutor’s Office Manager Tammie
Goggia, Treasurer Jenny Fessler, County Noxious
Weeds Superintendent Duke Guthrie, Extension
Office Educator Carol Hampton, Assessor Dave
Ryals, Chief Deputy Clerk Tracie Isaac, Clerk
Glenda Poston, Restorium Administrator Karlene
Magee, Head Court Clerk Rose Sprungl, Road and
Bridge Superintendent Jeff Gutshall, and Sheriff
Greg Sprungl.
Chairman Smith discussed
the Computer Arts Inc., (CAI) maintenance
schedule. It was said CAI is scheduled to come
up every third Wednesday and Clerk Poston said
there is a clipboard in her office for the
various departments to sign if they have issues
they need CAI to take a look at. Chairman Smith
briefly explained the video conferencing
equipment that is currently being installed. CAI
will take a look at the video conferencing
equipment the next time they come up, according
to Chairman Smith. Clerk Poston said the County
purchased 140 hours of time from CAI this fiscal
year.
Chairman Smith said the
Courthouse is probably still missing the boat on
recycling and now in addition to paper,
plastics, cardboard, etc. can be recycled at the
Courthouse. Chairman Smith explained that the
amount of garbage his household generates has
been reduced due to recycling. Chairman Smith
spoke of the small community exemption, the 20
ton per day limit, and how the County was
getting close to that amount before really
getting into recycling.
Chairman Smith spoke to
attending a meeting held by the Border Patrol.
Chairman Smith said he thought it had been about
constructing a fence along the US/Canadian
border, but it had turned out to be about the
new Border Patrol facility, which is what would
be fenced.
Chairman Smith updated
those present on the proposed holiday schedule.
Chairman Smith spoke of how the County has not
been able to issue a cost of living increase for
a couple years and how some residents feel there
should be a cut in pay. Chairman Smith said he
would like to start thinking about the
possibility of a 3% cost of living increase for
the future. Chairman Smith briefly discussed a
telephone call he received from a resident who
felt the County was overstaffed if they were
able to offer the holiday time off. Chairman
Smith said he did make a mistake in a statement
he made that the time off did not affect the
budget as in the case of the Restorium, they did
need to pay part time staff when the full time
employees took the time off. Chairman Smith
reviewed aloud the proposed holiday day off
schedule. Chairman Smith said Clerk Poston
suggested it would be better to revert to the
beginning of the fiscal year rather than the
calendar year for this schedule.
Assessor Ryals said clearly
a cost of living increase won’t happen this
year, but he is in favor of the holiday
schedule. Employees would rather have the cost
of living increase and they do need it, but they
do like the holiday schedule, according to
Assessor Ryals. Assessor Ryals said some people
feel the County is over staffed if the employees
can take extra time off, but he wants it on the
record that the County being over staffed is
completely untrue as the time off does create a
hardship as the other employees need to step up
when offices are half staffed and this is not
something offices can do on a full time weekly
basis. Assessor Ryals said the time off is
appreciated and he is in favor of it.
Chief Deputy Clerk Tracie
Isaac said for those employees getting closer to
retirement, retirement benefits are definitely
affected if there are no cost of living
increases. Clerk Poston explained the
information on retirement benefits listed in the
Public Employee Retirement System (PERSI)
newsletter. Ms. Hampton explained that being a
University
of Idaho
employee, she has not received a cost of living
increase longer than the County and she knows
her retirement will be $400 less per month
because of that. Sheriff Sprungl spoke of the
staffing difficulties his office has with the
extra days off and there being a greater
disparity created between Boundary and Bonner
County in relation to pay. The extra days off
create a safety concern for the deputies,
according to Sheriff Sprungl. Sheriff Sprungl
said he is currently operating with seven
deputies as compared to 10 that he normally has.
Sheriff Sprungl said his staff will live with
the days off, but a cost of living increase
would work much better. Ms. Sprungl said
everyone appreciates the days off and those
present do work harder. It is very much
appreciated, according to Ms. Sprungl.
Commissioner Kirby asked if
a 3% increase is given, how much does that
equate to annually. Clerk Poston said a 3%
equates to approximately $100,000. Commissioner
Kirby said the cost to the taxpayer would be
$100,000, and the cost of a 3% is $100,000.
Commissioner Kirby suggested County departments
squeeze their budgets even more to allow for a
3% increase.
Chairman Smith said this
next February will be the last Secure Rural
Schools payment the County will receive.
Chairman Smith said he is attending a Government
Employees Medical (GEM) Plan meeting tomorrow
and he is trying to keep the premiums down.
Chairman Smith said the reason to start talking
about a cost of living increase now is to keep
it in mind and to look forward. Clerk Poston
said everyone took the Idaho Counties Risk
Management Program (ICRMP) training to help in a
County insurance premium reduction, but there
had also been an increase of an equal amount.
Chairman Smith spoke of the grandfather clause
for the GEM plan and how insurance companies are
trying to force counties and small businesses to
switch to the Presidents’ health care plan.
The elected
officials/department heads meeting ended at
9:45 a.m.
9:45 a.m., County Noxious Weeds
Superintendent Duke Guthrie joined the meeting
to give Commissioners’ his department report.
Mr. Guthrie said he will receive RAC funds one
more time. Mr. Guthrie said he received $7,000
to be spent on a couple of sprayers that the
County will be able to rent out. The old
four-wheeler has been traded for a new one,
according to Mr. Guthrie. State funding received
last year for the purchase of herbicides totaled
$4,000. Chairman Smith asked about the status of
Eurasian Water Milfoil and Mr. Guthrie said he
participated in two surveys recently and the
milfoil is bad.
10:00 a.m., Deputy Clerk Nancy Ryals
joined the meeting at Commissioners’ request to
help clarify Resource Advisory Committee (RAC)
funds.
Those present discussed
funds totaling $15,000 for use towards
herbicides. Mr. Guthrie said State funding for
the Cost Share Program will be reduced, but this
year he received more funding than in the past.
Those present discussed SRS and Title II funds
and what they can be used for. Deputy Clerk
Nancy Ryals said RAC funds come out of Title II.
Mr. Guthrie and Deputy
Clerk Nancy Ryals left the meeting at
10:10 a.m.
10:10
a.m., City of
Bonners Ferry Assistant Administrator David Sims
joined the meeting.
Mr. Sims said the
School District is allowing the City
to put two recycle containers in their parking
lot for a 60 day trial period. The containers
are similar to the 10 yard containers, but these
models are lower to the ground and are only six
yards. Mr. Sims said it’s looking like recycle
containers will be placed near the Restorium in
the parking lot shared with the Panhandle Health
District as well as the middle school parking
lot behind Boundary Pharmacy.
City Council Member Tom
Mayo joined the meeting at
10:11 a.m.
Mr. Sims said during this
trial period, if what ends up in those dumpsters
is not acceptable to Solid Waste Superintendent
Claine Skeen, the City can be asked to cease.
Chairman Smith said he feels these dumpsters
will work well for recycling and there won’t be
any problems. Mr. Sims asked if the County is
still going to leave the County’s dumpsters at
Safeway and Chairman Smith said he isn’t sure.
Mr. Sims discussed water
services in District II. A well has been drilled
at Mr. Villelli’s, but there was a lot of iron
in the water so it is not the best to drink. The
City has to supply the Villelli’s with water and
the question is whether or not to put a
treatment system in his house to soften the
water or put in a new waterline. The cost of a
waterline is $20,000, according to Mr. Sims. It
was said Commissioner Dinning had felt the
County may be happy to have their own water line
for irrigation. Mr. Sims asked if the County is
okay with having a well at the park. Mr. Sims
said from Mr. Villelli’s house, it will cost
approximately $3,500 to deal with the iron, but
the County may want a softener for the water in
the restroom at the park. Who will dig the well
will be determined. The County was going to
contribute towards the water by digging the
ditch, according to Commissioner Kirby. Mr. Sims
said it will cost $10,000 for Mr. Villelli’s
well. Mr. Mayo said he is looking for a proposal
from the County. Mr. Sims asked if a well would
work for the County. Mr. Sims asked about
wastewater and it was said there is always a
possibility the ground may not perk.
Meeting with Mr. Mayo and
Mr. Sims ended at
10:40 a.m.
Commissioner Kirby moved to
adopt Resolution #2012-2. A resolution
increasing fiscal year 2011-2012 Parks and
Recreation Budget due to clerical oversight.
Chairman Smith yielded the chair to second.
Motion passed unanimously. Resolution 2012-2
reads as follows:
Resolution 2012-2
Increasing Fiscal Year 2011-2012 Parks and
Recreation Budget
Due to Clerical Oversight
WHEREAS, the Board of County
Commissioners, County of Boundary, State of
Idaho, did establish an operating budget for the
Parks and Recreation Fund for fiscal year
2011-2012; and
WHEREAS, the Godwin House sustained damage in
fiscal year 2010-2011 and repair work has been
on-going; and
WHEREAS, budget paperwork for fiscal year
2011-2012 reflected the fact that work is
on-going, but due to a clerical error, the
published budget for Parks and Recreation Fund
for fiscal year 2011-2012 did not get changed to
include $6,500.00 for repairs to the Godwin
House; and
WHEREAS, the $6,500.00 was levied for and
was reflected in the fiscal year 2011-2012
budget levy worksheets to the State of
Idaho;
and
WHEREAS, the Boundary County
Commissioners deem it in the best interest of
the general public of Boundary County to
increase the Fiscal Year 2011-2012 Parks and

and
WHEREAS, the addition of this revenue
does not affect the tax levy for Boundary County
because the revenue was already reflected as
part of the levy on the budget levy sheet to the
State of Idaho; and
WHEREAS, it is appropriate to increase
the fiscal year 2011-2012 Parks and Recreation
Budget expense account number 18-00-808-00,

and
NOW THEREFORE, upon motion duly made, seconded

3:00 p.m., Clerk Glenda
Poston, Engineer Mike Woodward, Denny Wedel of
BF Builders, Mike Naumann, and City of Bonners
Ferry Assistant Administrator David Sims joined
the meeting to discuss the progress of the
Waterways Building addition.
Chairman Smith asked for
the status. Mr. Naumann said the County needed
to get the building permit and he has applied
for it, but then it got technical for him. Mr.
Wedel said he was in the process of obtaining a
permit, but City of Bonners
Ferry Administrator Stephen Boorman
said the City needed more detailed plans. Sewell
Engineers, who works on behalf of the City,
needed more details on the foundation and few
other things, which need to be done by an
engineer. Mr. Wedel said his company started
into the process, but everything had an
additional cost to it. Chairman Smith asked
about grant funds for the additional costs. Mr.
Naumann said the cost of the permit shouldn’t be
any more than $700. It was said to have someone
engineer the plans and go through the process
could cost approximately $1,000. It was
explained the City of
Bonners Ferry has adopted
the Uniform Building Code (UBC). The additional
work needed as a result could be above and
beyond the estimated $1,000, but no one would
know what that is yet. Chairman Smith said he is
sure the County has $1,000 to go forward, but if
the engineer comes back and says another $20,000
is needed, how can the project move forward. Mr.
Naumann stated the grant is for $38,000. Mr.
Wedel said to build to the City’s specifications
there is no choice but to use an engineer.
Chairman Smith questioned if certain things are
needed to comply and the county doesn’t have
those things done, then what. Mr. Woodward said
the footers of the addition need to be a certain
size and the trusses may need to change. Mr.
Woodward said as a courtesy he went with Mr.
Wedel and Mr. Naumann to look at the building.
Commissioner Kirby said Mr. Wedel couldn’t
really make a determination on cost until he has
the engineer’s drawing. Chairman Smith said the
grant is for $38,000 and the accepted bid is for
$29,500, which leaves $8,500. After spending
$1,000 for engineering that leaves $7,500. Mr.
Sims said the permit costs are approximately
$750.
Clerk Poston said Mr.
Naumann applied for a $38,000 grant and the
State will provide $19,000 and another $19,000
will be provided from Mr. Naumann’s budget as
the County’s portion. The County’s cash
contribution is $15,000 and $4,000 worth of prep
work will be provided by Road and Bridge. Mr.
Naumann said after getting a permit and an
architect there will still be $3,000 left. Mr.
Naumann will take care of moving the gas and
that is another cost, according to Mr. Wedel.
Mr. Naumann said Mike Kelly and Avista will do
what is needed for working with the gas. Mr.
Woodward said he feels the columns and footings
on the plan will change. Commissioner Kirby said
it doesn’t make any difference until Mr.
Woodward gets his part completed. It was stated
that Mr. Woodward will still receive payment for
his work if the project were to fall through.
The meeting to discuss
status of the
Waterways
Building
addition ended at
3:20 p.m.
There being no further
business, the meeting adjourned at
3:20 p.m.
