REGULAR SESSION, JUNE 22, 2026 Commissioner Bolduc opened the meeting at 10:04 a.m. Commissioner Buhler, Commissioner Eames, Mike Elliott, County Clerk Chad Hoeft and Chief Deputy Clerk Jackie Fuqua were present. CAROL JOHNSON- JUVENILE DETENTION CONTRACT Carol Johnson asked the board which direction they would like to go concerning a juvenile detention contract with either Mini-Cassia, for $235.00 a day or with Twin Falls County, for $250 a day. They can choose to pay for a certain number of days but would have to pay extra if more days are used. The Board wishes to table this decision until the next meeting when they can seek legal counsel. Carol also asked permission to purchase four new chairs and a scanner for the office that is already budgeted for. The Board has no problem with the purchase and doesn’t require a vote. Commissioner Bolduc recessed the regular session and opened the Board of Equalization at 10:22 a.m. BOARD OF EQUALIZATION Assessor Baldwin presented two parcels for consideration. One was for the assessed land value not being in line with comparable sales, and the other is due to improvements that were torn down several years ago and the owner just notified the office this year. Commissioner Eames made a motion to approve change requests for RP08S16E188955 for land value of $127,880 down to $118,400 and RP08S15E153948 for improvement value of $101,635 down to $0. Commissioner Buhler seconded the motion. Motion carried. Commissioner Bolduc adjourned the Board of Equalization meeting and resumed the regular session at 10:28 a.m. Assessor Baldwin asked the Board for permission to purchase a new tri-fold letter machine. The mother board went out on the old one. Commissioner Buhler made a motion to approve the purchase of a new tri-fold letter machine in the amount of $7,315.00 to be taken out of the General Capital Equipment fund line. Commissioner Eames seconded the motion. Motion carried. HARRIS-COMPUTER ARTS MASTER AGREEMENT This was tabled until the next meeting. BROADBAND/ETS UPDATES Commissioner Bolduc says he has been receiving complaints about the wires going through the trees all along River Road. There was also discussion on the monthly cost for Broadband. It started out to be between $45 and $50 a month and now residents are saying it is $65 a month. Commissioner Bolduc will send an email to find out why there is a change in the amount per month. CORRESPONDENCE There was no correspondence today. PUBLIC COMMENT No public comments today. MINUTES Commissioner Buhler moved to approve June 15, 2026, minutes. Commissioner Eames seconded the motion. Motion carried. COMMITEE MEETING REPORTS Commissioner Bolduc reported that the floors in the jail that were repainted look good. Commissioner Buhler reported on the Wendell Transfer Stations damage from wildfire. He said the main office had a new trailer in it when it burned down, totaling the trailer. Everything is covered by insurance. He also reported a power pole with a transformer on it burned down, so the station can’t open until Idaho Power replaces it. In the meantime, Gooding County residents can go to surrounding transfer stations at no charge. Commissioner Bolduc adjourned the meeting at 10:50 a.m. /s/Mark E.
