ethical and professional standards into practice. These experiences are essential components of
docioral training and help prepare graduates for leadership roles in the counseling profession. For
the counseling interns, it provides a valuable opportunity to receive clinical education experiences
under the Affiliation Agreement, which they are not able to receive without supervision.
e For The Village and the broader community, the Agreement will help address ongoing workforce
and service-delivery needs by expanding access io qualified supervision and counseling services

under this Agreement.
a Status. The Independent Contractor’s status under this Agreement shall be that of
an independent contractor, and not that of an agent or employee of the state of Idaho (see, Idaho
Code § 72-102). The Independent Contractor warrants and represents that it has complied and will
comply with all federal, state and local laws regarding business permits and licenses that may be
required for them to perform the work as set forth in this Agreement.
4. Terms of Payment. The Client shall pay the Independent Contractor $250.00 per
juvenile per day for the services required in this Agreement. The Client estimates but does not
guarantee that the total value of this Agreement shall be $10,000.00. The value of this Agreement
may be more or less depending on the Client’s needs. The Client will not reimburse for expenses
under this Agreement. The Independent Contractor may invoice no more frequently than monthly.
Send invoices to: Accounts Payable (accountspayable@idjc.idaho.gov). Payment terms are Net

prior to incurring such cost or obligation.
6. Equipment, Tools, Materials or Supplies. The Independent Contractor shall supply,
at its sole expense, all equipment, tools, materials or supplies to accomplish the work to be
performed. This includes, but is not limited to, expenses relating to travel, lodging, and meals

to the cost or expense being incurred.
Bs Federal, State and Local Payroll Taxes. Neither federal nor state, nor any other
payroll tax of any kind, shall be withheld or paid by the Client on behalf of the Independent
Contractor or its employees. In accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the understanding
of the parties, the Independent Contractor shall not be treated for tax purposes as an employee with
respect to the services performed.
8. Taxes. The state of Idaho and the Client are generally exempt from payment of

section 63-3622 as a government instrumentality. In addition, the state of Idaho and the Client are
generally exempt from payment of Federal Excise Tax under a permanent authority from the
district Director of the Internal Revenue Service. If the Independent Contractor is required to pay
any taxes incurred as a result of doing business with the state of Idaho or the Client, it shall be
solely responsible for the payment of those taxes.
9. Fringe Benefits. Because the Independent Contractor is engaged in its own
independent contract business, it is not eligible for, nor entitled to, and shall not participate in, any

Independent Contractor shall be responsible for paying all employment-related taxes and benefits,

Idaho and hold it harmless from any and all claims for taxes (including but not limited to social
security taxes), penalties, attorneys’ fees and costs that may be made or assessed against the state
of Idaho arising out of the Independent Contractor’s failure to pay such taxes, fees or contributions.
11. Indemnification and Liability. As the Client is a state of Idaho government agency
and the Independent Contractor is a political subdivision of the state of Idaho, the Client and the
Independent Contractor are subject to the Idaho Tort Claims Act, Title 9, Chapter 6, Idaho Code,
which limits liability for Tort Claims to $500,000. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement or in any other contract between the parties related hereto, nothing
shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Client of any privilege, protection, or immunity

other applicable law or a waiver of its sovereign immunity, which is hereby expressly retained.
The requirements of this section shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.

waiver of the state of Idaho’s sovereign immunity, which immunity is hereby expressly retained.

provide proof of coverage at any time during the term of this Agreement may result in termination
of this Agreement by the Client.

or its employees. The Independent Contractor agrees to obtain workers’ compensation coverage
as required by law for itself and employees, and to furnish a copy of its certificate of workers’
compenisation insurance to the Client upon request. Failure to provide proof of insurance may be

“Rules Governing County Juvenile Probation and Detentions Services, Subchapter B — Rules for

Page 3 of 14
26 BOARD OF BANNOCK COUNTY COMMISSIONERS' - MEETING OCTOBER 13, 2026

Client may immediately terminate this Agreement by mailing a Notice of Termination by certified
mail, return receipt requested, or by electronic means, fax or hand delivery to the Independent
Contractor’s address listed in this Agreement. In addition, the Client may pursue any and all legal,
equitable, and other remedies available to the Client under this Agreement or under any applicable
law. This Agreement shall be considered terminated at the time the notice is placed in the U.S.

motion passed.
3
9:01 AM McKinney requested to use SHSP security grant funds to replace WIFI hardware. Klauser
explained the homeland security funds need spent by February. That might not get done if we wait for the
new director. The FEMA paperwork was already done. The total is just under $15,000. The remaining
$24,000 might be spent on radios. Moser moved to go forward with using the grant funds.
4
9:05 AM Evans reviewed Task Order 15 that has a breakdown of $2 million. The second phase of the
pilot study is going good and the data shows it’s working. The Board requested a presentation. Evans
explained they are looking at working on a closure plan for cell 2. The FEMA floodplain work is going
well, but slow. CDM is putting models together for 25- and 50-year storms. Hough moved to approve
Task Order 15. The motion passed.

9:08 AM Klauser reviewed there are two accounts that haven’t been collected. The first is $1,700 from
July of 2022 for soccer field usage from Joshua Gonzalez. The second is a $5,000 sponsorship for July 4.
There was a mix-up as the auditing office knew nothing about the sponsorship. An invoice was sent once
that information was received, but payment was not received from Prime Towing. Moser moved to
approve cancelling the fees for the two outstanding invoices. The motion passed.
