The following proceedings were held to wit:

In the Matter of MEETINGS

Commissioner Hawkins met with Val Stotts, Safe House Director, for a department update.
Commissioner Hawkins attended an ICRMP supervisor training.

In the Matter of COUNTY PROPERTY
Commissioners conducted a good faith meeting to address access to Centennial Park.

Commissioners met with Ray Perron, Gary Perron, Clear Springs Construction and discussed the
Centennial Park Boat Ramp access.

Commissioner Reinke noted that as per the agreement signed on May 7, 2026 if the County
suspends the ramp access, a good faith meeting will be held to address concerns. Bob Beer,
Facilities Director, noted that a crack was found in the ramp. Mr. Beer noted that CSC stated that
their diver found the crack prior to the use of the ramp. County divers found no evidence of a
crack when they dove the same area prior to the ramp use. Mr. Beer noted that the ramp was not
broken prior to the barge use and now is. Mr. Beer noted that the County was notified of the
damage to the ramp in June and the damage is a significant danger to the public so access has been
suspended for all users.

Ray Perron reviewed a PowerPoint presentation with the Board. Mr. Perron stated that the crack
was preexisting and was not caused by CSC. Mr. Perron noted that further operations are safe and
CSC can operate within the recommendations made by Civil Science. Mr. Perron reviewed a
timeline of the project and the ramp inspection. Mr. Perron reviewed the professional diver’s
documentation which included documenting a void under the ramp which was similar to the
County’s findings of the void. Mr. Perron provided photographs of the crack which showed
rounded edges and significant sediment and biological growth within the crack. Mr. Perron noted
that CTS reviewed the pictures and provided an opinion via e-mail stating that the crack was older
than 2 months. Mr. Perron reviewed a report from Civil Science on the data points from the
previous survey. Mr. Perron disputed the crack being caused by the barge and provided a
visualization showing contact on the crack by the barge was not possible.

Commissioner Matthews asked when the first survey was done, Mr. Perron noted it was on
December 17, 2025. Mr. Perron reviewed the surveys done by Civil Science. Mr. Perron reviewed
the letter from Civil Science and noted that the recommendations were made for recreational
general public use, not for his commercial/professional use. Mr. Perron stated that CSC has a
proven plan for a safe and sound operation. Commissioner Reinke asked when the photos were
taken. Mr. Perron stated that the photos were taken approximately a week or two ago, after the
suspension of the access. Mr. Perron requested that the Board give permission for CSC to continue
their use of the ramp based upon the information that they provided. Mr. Perron discussed the
future use plan and projected water level. Mr. Perron asked what CSC could do for the Board to
be comfortable with their continued use of the ramp. Mr. Perron reviewed some options that they
would be willing to do to ensure continued access.

Commissioner Reinke asked what the loud noise was the morning of the first load. Mr. Perron
stated that they believe that the noise was the barge coming together in two pieces, not the sound
of the barge hitting the ramp. Commissioner Reinke asked why Mr. Perron did not disclose the
crack at the first meeting if they were aware of it. Mr. Perron stated that they did not feel that they

would impact the crack and that the County was already aware of the crack. Commissioner Reinke
reviewed the incidents that have happened in the last few weeks. Mr. Perron stated that their use
had no impact on those incidents. There was discussion regarding the drop off at the end of the
ramp and the change in elevation of the ramp. Mr. Perron stated that they disagree with Mr. Beer’s
statement that the crack was not there prior to their use.

Bob Beer, Facilities Director discussed the report from Civil Science and the graph showing the
elevation change. Mr. Beer reviewed pictures of the barge that were taken on the initial launch
showing it bottoming out. Mr. Beer stated that the ramp was not broken before the launch and
now it is broken. Mr. Beer stated that there is a serious problem at the ramp. Mr. Beer stated that
he did not believe the rounded edges of the crack and the sediment were compelling evidence that
the crack had been present for any length of time. Further damage will make it impossible for the
public to use the ramp.

Mr. Perron disagreed that the barge bottomed out and reviewed the slide showing the barge and
noted that the survey points did not change from before to after their use. Mr. Perron requested
that the Board speak directly to Civil Science rather than accepting hearsay. Mr. Perron stated that
the best case scenario for the Board is that CSC damage the ramp as they have insurance for
replacement. However, they will not cause further damage by continued use.

Commissioner Matthews noted that on March 8, 2026 he took a picture of the ramp and according
to the USGS measurements it was the same flow on July 27, 2026. On July 27, 2026 he could see
the crack. On March 8, 2026 he could not see a crack so in his opinion the crack did not exist. The
Board spent four months with the Perrons and were told by the Perrons that the ramp would hold
up a locomotive. Commissioner Matthews questioned that if the Perrons knew the crack was there,
why did they not disclose that at the beginning. The County was unaware of a crack ever existing
and now there has been a significant change in the ramp since March.

Commissioner Hawkins noted that she had difficulty giving approval in the beginning as it is the
public’s ramp. The Board went into the agreement with good faith and with the Perron’s not
disclosing their awareness of a crack. According to section 9 of the agreement, the Board has the
right to terminate the agreement.

Commissioner Hawkins made a MOTION to terminate the agreement effective immediately.
Commissioner Matthews SECONDED. Motion passed unanimously.

There being no further business, the Board recessed until 8:00 a.m., August 6, 2026, at the

Zoning Commission to amend Twin Falls County Code and adopt the proposed ordinances.

In the Matter of COMMISSIONER PROCEEDINGS

Commissioner Matthews made a MOTION to go into executive session at 10:57 a.m. pursuant
to Idaho Code §74-206 (B) records exempt from disclosure – evaluation, dismissal or discipline
of staff. Commissioner Hawkins SECONDED. Motion passed after roll call vote. (Hawkins yes,
Matthews yes, Reinke yes)

Commissioners returned to regular session at 11:25 a.m.

In the Matter of PROPERTY TAXES
Commissioners considered a property tax exemption application, pursuant to Idaho Code § 63-
602NN, for White Buffalo.

In attendance for White Buffalo - Milind Kamkolkar, Brian Reece, Marty Abbott, Heather
Campbell, virtually present and Stace Campbell physically present

Milind Kamkolkar and Brian Reece reviewed business plan and the property tax exemption request
for White Buffalo with the Board. Mr. Reece discussed the plan to produce medical-grade water-
for-injection which is used in pharmaceuticals. Mr. Kamkolkar reviewed White Buffalo’s plan to
build infrastructure within Hansen Idaho to produce the product.

Stace Campbell reviewed the proposed project site and the property acquisition history. Mr.
Campbell also reviewed the water use and the plan to transfer water to the City of Hansen.

Kenny Spencer, Twin Falls Highway District, expressed concern about the increased traffic with
no revenue to the District. Stace Campbell reviewed the expected traffic for the expansion and
noted that overall, with the previous use they anticipate a minor addition to the use that has
historically used the property. Mr. Campbell also noted that shipping will be done by rail and they
have been working with WATCO and they are very supportive of the business. Mr. Campbell
stated that the goal is to enhance the job and living opportunities within Hansen.

Brian Hild, Hansen School Superintendent, asked about the timeline. Mr. Campbell stated that the
anticipated opening is Fall of 2029. There was discussion on the training needed for the skilled
employees that would be based out of the facility.

Commissioner Matthews asked for clarification on the campus plan. Mr. Campbell noted that
Standlee Hay will continue to use their current facility and the goal is to utilize the building in the
future for further use in the White Buffalo business.

Brad Wills, Assessor discussed the 5-year limitation for the exemption.

The Board discussed the application and the exemption scoresheet on which the business scored
100%. Commissioner Matthews noted that originally, he was concerned about the water being
used but after understanding the planned water exchange with the City of Hansen that helped with
his concern. The City of Hansen is one of the small towns within Twin Falls County that could
use the investment and the increased tax base. The long-term effect would be significant. There
was discussion on other business expansion in the area. Commissioner Hawkins expressed
concern with the water use and the annexation and the grants necessary for the plan to work. Stace

Campbell reviewed the water use plan and the water infrastructure needs for the City of Hansen.
Commissioner Hawkins noted that for her, it was important for the City of Hansen to be able to
get the water and without the tax revenue it could put an additional burden on other taxing districts.
There was discussion on the water plan.

Commissioner Matthews noted that with the business plan it would take approximately 2 years to
get the business up and running so he would be supportive of a full 5-year exemption.
Commissioner Hawkins concurred. Commissioner Hawkins proposed a 5% reduction each year
starting at 100% for the first year. Commissioner Matthews noted that by the 5th year there would
be a 20% tax which would be significant for the taxing districts.

Commissioner Hawkins made a MOTION to approve a property tax exemption for White Buffalo
for a 5-year exemption with year 1 at 100% to decrease 5% each year as long as White Buffalo
meets the contract terms. Commissioner Matthews SECONDED. Discussion Commissioner
Reinke noted that he felt the offer was fair and would benefit all the parties. Commissioner
Matthews noted that the decision was within the matrix and the past practices and was consistent
with what has been approved in the past. Motion passed unanimously.

There being no further business, the Board recessed until 8:00 a.m., August 28, 2026, at the
Commissioners Chambers, second floor of the Twin Falls County West Facility, 630 Addison Ave

Ms. Jeske noted that there were no public comments received for the plat. IDWR had no concerns
with the final plat. Commissioner Matthews noted that he felt that the plat met the rural residential
requirements with only having 5 lots on over 60 acres. Commissioner Reinke expressed his
concern with taking prime ag land out of production.

for KJW, Inc. Subdivision as presented and authorize the Chairman to sign the mylar documents
