Meeting Notes
1
8:59 AM Hough called the meeting to order. Moser moved to accept the amended agenda. The motion
passed. Community Resources and Advocacy Director Shantal Laulu presented an application for
cremation assistance for case number 20260022. Bullock moved to approve case number 20260022.
Hough suggested a friendly amendment to include releases of lien for case numbers 20200065 and
20090018. The motion passed.
2
9:04 AM Emergency Management Assistant Karen Trumbull, Pocatello Assistant Fire Chief Dean
Bullock, Forest Service Representatives Dan Bartel, Erin Elzinga, and Mike Johnston, National Weather
Service Representatives Tim Axford and Mark Dallon, BLM Representative Blaine Newman, and various
fire district representatives were present.
Axford reported things are currently warmer and dryer than usual. The typical high for this time of year is
in the 60’s. Overall, the moisture has been okay, but not having snow, it will dry up quick. It is looking to
be pretty dry for the next week or so. We are hitting the summer pattern sooner than usual, by a month.
The extended forecast is that it will be warmer and dryer than usual.
9:08 AM Johnston explained the Forest Service has a predictive services unit that created a map showing
potential above-normal fire activity. The Great Basin includes from the Salmon River south, all of Nevada
and Utah, and sliver of Arizona. Resources are coordinated across the Great Basin. The data shows we are
trending toward historic records for this year. Graphs showing the moisture content were reviewed, and
there is probably a month before the sagebrush is dry. All regions in the western United States have the
same levels, so if we all have fires and are busy, resources may be thin. He recommended inviting
Department of Lands in the future.
9:14 AM Bartel explained that large diameter fuels, such as logs, hold fires overnight. In the spring, once
vegetation dries out, those typically burn during the day and die out overnight. Historically, through mid-
July, as fires move up into timber, the large diameter fuels still have moisture and the fire burns out. This
year, those large diameter fuels are drier than normal. Historically, the fire season is mid to late July
through September. But this year, we are seeing the fuels have dried out earlier as the snowpack was not
there and we are easily a month ahead. The high country is dry, which predicts the fire season beginning
in mid to late June. That will add more tax on fire fighters and stretch them thinner a month longer.
9:18 AM Newman explained the establishment of the new US Wildland Fire Service Agency and that he
will still be the contact.
9:20 AM Dean Bullock explained due to forecasts and coordination with state and federal partners, the
City of Pocatello is looking at beginning a fire ban on June 1, one month sooner than usual.
9:21 AM Trumbull has spoken with all the fire districts and Fort Hall and they are implementing a June 1
burn ban.
9:22 AM Discussion ensued on enforcement and public outreach.
9:25 AM Elzinga explained fire prevention work being done all year with education before we go into
bans. She reviewed public outreach, enforcement, and coordination with other agencies.
9:28 AM Iannacone explained work being done to put together a larger, coordinated campaign with other
agencies.
9:29 AM Johnston reported the Forest Service follows a different schedule with fire restriction levels.
Trumbull explained the County’s ban would be for private land and the federal restrictions would apply to
19
BOARD OF BANNOCK COUNTY COMMISSIONERS' - MEETING
MAY 19, 2026
DRAFT May 12, 2026, BOCC Minutes
federal lands. Clarification was given for additional restrictions for the Johnny Creek and Pocatello Creek
areas.
9:31 AM Newman added that BLM enforces and cites people using exploding targets.
9:33 AM Hough reviewed a resolution, 2026-35 for a unified burn ban. Additional language for Johnny
Creek and Pocatello Creek will need added. Hough moved to approve Resolution 2026-35 with the
pending changes and move forward with the burn ban throughout the County. The motion passed.
9:38 AM Hough reviewed a suggestion for the County to declare a drought emergency as the state already
has. National Weather Service reported on other counties that have declared a drought emergency which
opens up land/water right issues, and help for drought affected farmers/ranchers. The national drought
monitor has all of Bannock County at D2, which is severe drought. The highest level is D4. Radford will
review and submit a memo as to process, implications, and resources that would open up.
9:41 AM Trumbull explained that having a declaration in place, if there are fires and damages, we can
request federal assistance. Radford will do research and come back Thursday.
10:08 AM Moser moved to approve the revised Resolution 2026-35. The motion passed.
3
9:44 AM Business Manager and Event Director Scott Crowther, Trial Court Administrator Jason Dye,
Fairgrounds Maintenance Alex Hauser, and Fair Board Member D’Lyn Moser-Evans also appeared.
Pehrson reviewed the request to waive the fee for the Exhibit Hall for a training. Bullock moved to
approve the fee waiver. The motion passed.
4
9:50 AM Emergency Management Assistant Karen Trumbull also appeared. Staggs presented a contract
for SICOG to manage the Cottonwood Valley fuels reduction project. The estimated costs are
approximately $2,500/acre and the grant application included 60-80 acres. In response to questions
regarding water improvement, Staggs explained that the springs were dry in 2018 and after the fuels
reduction project was completed, there is now water in the spring again. Bullock moved to approve the
contract. The motion passed.
5
9:47 AM Susan Pettit and Amy Prescott appeared. Crowther explained the request for New Horizon’s
Gradation on June 4. Pettit explained she thought she completed the contract in October, but had not and
requested a fee waiver. Crowther reviewed the costs for an electrician, 4-5 hours of setup/tear down, and
bringing out chairs will probably be around $1,000. Moser moved to approve the fee waiver. The motion
passed.
6
9:01 AM Jury Commissioner Courtney Teuscher also appeared. Dixon reported that it is Juror
Appreciation Week in the state. Bannock County has not participated in the past. There is a survey on the
website for jurors that have participated in jury service in the last year to enter their name and dates
served for a chance to win concert tickets.
9:02 AM Teuscher shared some statistics, 10,800 citizens were summoned, 100-200 called to report, and
this year there has been six trials.
7
9:56 AM Hough moved to enter into executive session under Idaho Code §74-206(1)(a) & (b) regarding
personnel matters. The motion passed by roll call vote.
10:07 AM Bullock moved to exit executive session. The motion passed.
8
9:55 AM Hough moved to ratify manual checks. The motion passed.
9
9:54 AM Moser moved to approve Resolutions Numbers 2026-28, 29, 30, 31, 32, and 33. The motion
passed.
10 9:54 AM Bullock moved to approve signature on the property tax exemption decision letters and
publication notice. The motion passed.
11 9:56 AM Bullock moved to approve the items on the consent agenda. The motion passed.
12 10:09 AM Assessor Anita Hymas and Commercial Appraiser Jason Hooker appeared. Hymas reviewed
only one of five categories were out of compliance and that was manufactured homes. Her staff kept the
20
BOARD OF BANNOCK COUNTY COMMISSIONERS' - MEETING
MAY 19, 2026
DRAFT May 12, 2026, BOCC Minutes
values conservative at 95%. Ag parcels were discussed. Residential values stayed similar. Land in the
southern portion was trended and 34 new subdivisions were added for 2026. 10:21 AM Hooker reviewed
commercial property challenges, infill projects, and they are seeing a demand for commercial property.
Hymas gave an example of values, levies, and taxes between 2004 to last year. In the 90’s, the values
didn’t move, so levies went up.
13 10:36 AM Chief Deputy Treasurer Misty Katsilometes and Deputy Treasurer Katy Valentine were
present. Katsilometes shared that Caleb Corona, for parcels RPRPADL000100, RPRPADL000200, and
RPRPADL000400 is requesting a 60-day extension to pay the 2022 taxes owing of $5,375.68 with late
fee and interest waived. The Treasurer’s Office agrees with this arrangement. Corona decided to sell two
months ago and somehow Google started showing the business was closed. He has that fixed now and
anticipates having the remainder paid in 60 days. Moser moved to accept a partial payment of half in 30
days and the remainder by 60 days. The motion passed.
10:39 AM Katsilometes shared that Icon Pocatello has seven parcels: RPRPPOC049201,
RPRPPOC049500, RPRPPOC050501, RPRPPOC050605, RPRPPOC050702, RPRPPOC051002, and
RPRPPOC051301. These are parking lots by the hospital. She has sent certified mailings and spoken with
attorneys associated with Icon in the past. The legals were intertwined. Icon was formerly NP Elevate and
did some bankruptcy filings and then changed to Icon. Bullock moved to take the seven parcels. The
motion passed.
Katsilometes reviewed that Emily Jaramillo is deceased and her son, Teddy Jaramillo, lives in the home
for parcel RPRPPOC281500. Teddy and his sisters have decided to let go of the house to tax deed.
Jaramillo explained he is here to surrender the property and requested to stay until September. He got a
loan to pay last time, but his sisters will not help. Bullock moved to take the property and allow
occupancy to the end of September. The motion passed.
10:45 AM Katsilometes reviewed for Tina and Jeffrey Junod, parcel RPRPGHM012500, that James
Johnson is requesting an extension until June 1 to pay the remaining 2022 taxes of $205.69. Johnson
explained he will be able to clear the bill on the 21st. Hough moved to accept extension to June 1, 2026.
The motion passed.
10:47 AM Katsilometes reviewed that Joyce and Joseph Monday, parcel RPRCHIH004704, are both
deceased. This is a small piece of land and their son is not interested in the property. There is a reverse
mortgage. Moser moved to take the property on tax deed. The motion passed.
10:47 AM Katsilometes reviewed that Sandra Moore-Thornely, parcel RPRPNG1004800, is requesting an
extension through the end of year and to waive interest. Sandra reviewed the request for time and
consideration as the home was already behind on taxes when it was put in her name by quitclaim deed.
The home needs repairs, a new roof, siding, and flooring. The costs have been overwhelming. She has
been unemployed, but is in the process of getting on disability. She is requesting a realistic chance.
Katsilometes recommended granting the extension to the end of the year and waiving interest. Moser
pointed out she may have to get a loan as this is far behind. Bullock moved to approve the extension for
the property and waive interest. The motion passed.
14 10:53 AM Hough moved to enter into executive session under Idaho Code §74-206(1)(a) & (b) regarding
personnel. The motion passed by roll call vote. Hough moved to exit executive session. The motion
passed. Hough moved to offer position to Todd Mauger. The motion passed.

Extension, Courthouse parking lot, Chambers, Exhibit Building, and scale house.

There were no concerns in council’s proceedings. Moser moved to approve the plat adjustment and

3
9:14 AM Klauser requested approval of Easy Pay Merchant Processing application for D6 to use for their
billing and requested authorization to complete the online application. Most fees are passed on to the user,

5
9:18 AM Facilities Director Dan Kendall and Public Works Director Kiel Burmester also appeared.
Crowther reviewed a sponsorship agreement with Nucleane wherein they donate evening cleaning
services and receive concert tickets. Staff clean every morning and restock. Major issues happen every
day. Vandalism examples were reviewed. Moser moved to approve the contract. The motion passed.
9:30 AM Crowther explained the need for additional parking for events, such as Friday nights with
concerts and football. The contract with Idaho Power for their parking lot is looking to be an expensive
investment on someone else’s property. The proposal is to reconfigure the walking path north of the
soccer fields, which can fit 460 parking stalls. When the idea was pitched to the Health Trust, they wanted
to see an architectural concept. The Health Trust board is currently looking it over.
9:34 AM Kendall reported it is hard to tell a lot from a concept drawing. He priced the worst-case
scenario for light poles, running power, curbs, sidewalks, fencing adjustments, engineering, at $3 million.
Burmester’s reviewed the concept briefly and suggested phasing. He reviewed options of using a
contractor or a mix of contractor/staff portions. Just to get the project in the gravel stage would be about
$144,000 just for three-quarter. 9:47 AM Discussion ensued on phases and funding options. The Board
directed the group to come back with a plan and estimate a price tag.
6
10:03 AM Phillips reviewed special events and alcohol liability insurance costs and that is will be more
economical to write separate policies.
7

10:07 AM Hough moved to enter into executive session under Idaho Code §§74-206(1)(a) & (b)
regarding personnel. The motion passed by roll call vote.
10:30 AM Hough moved to exit executive session. The motion passed.
8
