There was some discussion on what E-911 funds can fund.  Prosecutor Schindele indicated that Idaho Code stated these funds can only be used for a coordinator, equipment, hardware and software, not for employees.

Growth and Development Director Bonnie Sharp appeared to present the proposed fee schedule changes, to become effective on October 1, 2006.  She had compared fees from Blaine County, Twin Falls, Ada County, and the City of Boise.  After some discussion the schedule was revised and will be brought back later this afternoon for further review. 

Pete Nielsen, State Representative 22B, John Sullivan and Rosey Thomas, representing the Bureau of Land Management, Christopher Brown, Wild West Off Roaders, and Rusty Faircloth, Mountain Home ATV Club, appeared before the Board regarding a proposed off road ATV area.  There is a way for communities to acquire public lands for public recreation.  Discussion followed on the Recreation and Public Purposes Act (RPPA).  Mr. Brown and Mr. Faircloth, representing the two off-road organizations, pledged their support for the acquisition of the property.  The property is located off the highway to Grandview, by the Mountain Home Air Force Base.  The two gentlemen pledged their support for helping to keep the property clean as they have been doing for the past two years.  The Commissioners raised questions regarding liability and were concerned about the clean up in the area.  It was decided that more information needs to be obtained before a decision can be made.  The Bureau of Land Management stated they would like a letter from the Commissioners stating the County had some interest in this proposed recreation site by the end of August.  The issue will be revisited when more information is presented to the Board.

Bonnie Sharp, Growth and Development Director, spoke with Building Inspector Myron Adamson regarding the public hearing for Planning and Zoning fee increases.  When we have the public hearing, Mr. Adamson would also like the Board to adopt the International Building Code 2003 fee schedule.  The 2006 International Building Code will be issued soon and we have approximately 6 months to adopt it.  Ms. Sharp will bring the new Planning and Zoning Fee schedule to Deputy Clerk Steele for publication.

Clerk Hiler also stated the DMV administrative fee would be increased and would be published at the same time the new Planning and Zoning fees were.  The current fee is $2.50 and the proposed fee is $4.00.  Both fee schedules would go into affect October 1, 2006.

Budgets were worked on.  The Clerk will call BDPA, our salary survey company, to see what the cost of a new salary survey would be if it were done in conjunction with the City of Mountain Home. 

Correspondence was reviewed.

The Conrad Lombard agreement for additional office space for the new jail was signed and will be mailed to them.
