Bannock Commissioners:
We are writing this letter requesting support funds from the City for Portneuf Soil
and Water Conservation District’s FY 2026 operations.
The State of Idaho provided us with a 1.5:1 match of all support funds we received
in 2025. In 2024, for every $1 of support funds, we were able to bring in $26 of
grants dollars into Bannock County. 2025 was a slower grant year for use, as we
focused on closing open projects, and building our environmental education
program.
Our 2025 fiscal year, which ended June 30, accomplishments include the progress
of the Ag BMP-Mud Springs and Dead Horse Project, IDWR-Dempsey Creek
Project, and WQPA-Swan Lake Livestock watering project. The Mud Springs and
Dead Horse Project completed in our 2026 fiscal year, with the others expected to
close later this year.
___ The Mud Springs and Dead Horse
je” Project continued improvements in the
Big Onion area and the Yellow Dog
Creek Project (Completed 2023). At
application time expected
improvements included 5 connected
watering systems with 2.5 miles of
s pipeline and 15 acres brush removal.
Instead, these dedicated landowners
installed 11 watering systems connected
A by 6 miles of pipeline, removed 10
acres of brush, and spray treated and
additional 100 acres. We brought in
$150,000 of grant funding for this
== $250,000 project. This project was
§ delayed to coordinate with BLM, and
continue similar work on BLM land.
6 BOARD OF BANNOCK COUNTY COMMISSIONERS - MEETIN MARCH 31, 2026
The Dempsey Creek Project will
install a bridge crossing in an area that
lost a culvert in a flooding incident in
2023. The project is located south of the
City of Lava Hot Springs. In addition to
the bridge the stream bank will be
& = stabilized. This project is funded by
| NRCS-EQIP and IDWR-Flood
Management Grant. This project will be
completed in summer 2026.
Dempsey Creek 2023 Flooding incident. The red circle indicates the location of the
original culvert.
The Pocatello Creek Restoration
Project was recently awarded a
DEQ-319 Non-point Water Source
Program. This project is intended to
implement improvements to
Pocatello Creek. The creek flows
into Pocatello City limits, is a
tributary to the Portneuf River and a
contributor of sediment pollution.
This creek is a part of the Portneuf
River Vision identified as needing
improvement to limit soil erosion.
This grant funded project is for a
Pocatello resident near the fire
station that is experiencing
significant erosion that has
encroached into the landowner’s
backyard.
Pocatello Creek adjacent to the Fire Station
The Swan Lake Livestock Project is pending completion this month and developed a spring, installed
pipeline and a livestock watering system which will reduce pressure on the nearby Swan Lake Creek and
protect its water quality. This project is funded by the Idaho Soil Conservation Commission’s Water
Quality for Agriculture Program (WQPA), and dedicated landowners.
Conservation education is important to us! We continued to sponsor the Idaho state FFA soil
competition, and Idaho Ag in the Classroom, Pocatello High School’s 2 Envirothon Teams, Idaho
Envirothon, the Idaho State Forestry Competition, and the Portneuf Environmental Fair. Each year we
7 oe ; RD OF BANNOCK COUNTY COMMISSIONERS - MEETIN ; MARCH 31, 2026
participate in the Portneuf Environmental Fair Committee at our booth and provide several educational
activities. Our bee hotel creation activity is always big hit!
We believe that no effort is too big or too small to make a lasting impact on our future, which is why we
participate and will continue to participate in a variety of projects and programs. We are always looking
for more opportunities to increase conservation and to provide conservation education to residents,
landowners and organizations in both rural and urban areas,
Your support of Portneuf Soil and Water Conservation District will enable us to continue bringing
conservation projects and programs to Bannock County.
Thank you,
Portneuf Soil & Water Conservation District

held at the Bannock County Sheriff’s Office at 5800 South 5th Avenue, Pocatello, Idaho.
Meeting Notes
1
9:00 AM Hough called the meeting to order. Chief Deputy Sheriff Alex Hamilton was also present. Manu
reviewed the request to purchase a body scanner for the jail. The company is clearing out body scanners
and gave a quote $40,000 less than the original quote bringing the cost to $100,000. Klauser discussed
funding options. Radford explained the ability to use opioid funds. Hough moved to approve the request
with funds coming from the opioid funds. The motion passed.
2
9:07 AM Les Hernandez and Duane Rawlings from the Southeast Idaho Youth Football League appeared.
Crowther proposed a 3% increase to the 2026 contract with a 3% increase annually for the 3-year
contract. Discussions ensued on maintenance costs, water issues, parking, and service work from
participants. Concerns were shared with any term longer than one year due to the unknown impacts of the
water curtailment and the increase in fuel costs. The league was encouraged to discuss water costs with
the city. 9:26 AM Hernandez will have the league participate in a cleanup day. The contract will be
adjusted to one year at a cost of $4,678. 9:30 AM Bullock moved to sign the agreement for one year in the
amount of $4,678. The motion passed.
9:30 AM Quinn Romriell, President of District 8 Rodeo, appeared. Crowther outlined the proposed
contract and explained the weather dictates where they rodeo. Romriell explained where District 8
participants are from. Costs were discussed and the revenues that come to the County and how the County
benefits from this event. Crowther outlined the water usage. 9:36 AM Hough moved to approve the
contract. The motion passed.
9:36 AM Quinn Romriell appeared. Crowther outlined the proposed one-year contract for the Idaho
Junior Rodeo Association and explained the event and facility usage. The water is not an issue with this
contract, but the scheduling is. Crowther explained they are paying 80% of the cost. 9:39 AM Bullock
moved to sign the agreement as presented. The motion passed.
9:40 AM Quinn Romriell appeared. Crowther outlined the proposed contract for the MJ Qualifier and
informed the Board we do generate revenue from people staying for the event. 9:40 AM Moser moved to
approve the contract. The motion passed.
9:41 AM Crowther explained the cost is tripling to continue to lease a tractor. Crowther feels it would be
a better choice to purchase a tractor instead of leasing. Klauser stated there is money in PILT. Crowther
explained there is a piggyback contract. Discussion ensued on pricing and the need for two tractors. 9:47
AM The Board directed Crowther to move forward to get a price and the consensus was to use PILT
funds.
9:47 AM Crowther requested to apply for a Lowe’s Community Project grant to install another
playground near the RV parks. He provided an image of the playground and fitness stations. There’s
another group that would like to donate fitness stations to be installed around the walking paths. Moser
pointed out to request the higher grant award and do artificial turf similar to the park in Inkom. Crowther
explained the bathrooms in the RV park would have to be opened so they would be public bathrooms. The
Board instructed Crowther to move forward with the grant application.
3
9:53 AM Scott outlined the four agreements with several counties. This would be the secondary
placement facility after 3B in Idaho Falls for those offenders and there would be a $450 daily fee to be
held in our facility. There will be five Idaho county contracts and one county in Wyoming. Scott outlined
the difference between the juvenile holds for the counties versus the state holds. Scott said the average is
11 juveniles per day and there are 16 beds so there is room to accommodate this. Radford has no issues
with the contracts. 10:00 AM Bullock moved to sign the four contracts. The motion passed.
4
10:00 AM Public Works Director Kiel Burmester, Merrill Quayle with Sunrise Engineering, developer
Brian Ball who has an interest in the outcome of this discussion, and Brady Smith with Avyant were also
20
BOARD OF BANNOCK COUNTY COMMISSIONERS - MEETIN
MARCH 31, 2026
DRAFT March 19, 2026, BOCC Minutes
present. Jensen reviewed the request to tap into the water line on Fairgrounds Road and take it to Mr.
Ball’s property so Mr. Ball can move forward with his low-income housing project that will be federally
funded. He will need proof there is water to the property, to which there is not. There is a new main line
proposed to run down Fairgrounds Road. From an economic development standpoint and growth of the
Event Center this project has become a major component to the development. 10:06 AM Ball introduced
himself and explained the project. If they can tap into this water line, it will speed up the project to meet
the requirements of the affordable housing project that will have 150 units. Jensen clarified this would be
construction water and not the long-term water solution. It is also requested that a meter be installed the
costs can be determined that they would be responsible for. 10:09 AM Crowther outlined his concerns and
specifically that there are no shut off valves for the main line so they have no way to isolate any issues
that may arise. Quayle explained they have discussed putting in isolation valves and a new meter. He also
explained how all of the connections could work and provide redundancy. The required main water line
for the development will be installed by end of summer. The timeline for the federal money is getting
tight and waiting for the developer’s main water line will inhibit the application for federal funds.
Burmester is on board because this is a temporary solution. There will be no cost to the County. The
County would pay for the water usage and then be reimbursed until the new water line is installed.
Klauser explained that because this hasn’t been budgeted for, there would potentially be an issue if
revenue doesn’t come in then the budget can’t be opened. Moser requested an MOU to ensure there is no
cost to the County. 10:22 AM Hough implied they have a verbal approval until an MOU can be prepared
for signature.
5
10:22 AM Klauser presented the proposed FY27 budget calendar. The Board indicated no problems with
the calendar and they will adjust as needed. Bullock would like to set up a date with the compensation
committee to discuss salaries. There have been conversations that there is not much of a value increase.
6
10:25 AM Hough moved to approve the resolutions and ordinance as presented. The motion passed.
7
10:26 AM Klauser pointed out a reimbursement request for an Uber ride to purchase water which was in
the same vicinity as a shopping mall. They have not paid for these types of items in the past because it’s
personal. Dixon feels this opens a can of worms and doesn’t feel we should be paying for Ubers to go
shopping. The Board concurred.
10:29 AM Hough moved to enter into executive session. The motion passed by roll call vote. 10:36 AM
Hough moved to exit executive session. The motion passed.
10:36 AM Bullock moved to approve the claims agenda. The motion passed.
8
11:04 AM Captain Lyle Thurgood, Lt. Kasey Johnson, Clerk Jason Dixon, Chief Deputy Clerk Keri
Povey, and Deputy Clerk Alyssa Leavitt were also present. Povey began reading the quarterly inspection
questions.
11:09 AM The group toured the facility. The tri-county inspection from the previous month was
discussed.
11:30 AM The tour of the facility concluded and Povey finished the questionnaire. Discussion ensued on
the body scanner, transporting to and from the jail and the courthouse, and the holding area at the
courthouse.
11:36 AM Meeting adjourned.
