Community Resources and Advocacy Director Shantal Laulu presented an application for cremation assistance for case number 20260023. Moser moved to approve case 20260023. The motion passed. 2 9:02 AM Avichouser reviewed an award to receive pass-through funds for FY27 and the Wood Court program. Moser moved to approve the Chair to sign the award. The motion passed. 3 9:04 AM Hobson reviewed tax cancellation requests. Bullock moved to accept the recommendation to cancel the taxes. The motion passed. 4 9:05 AM McCurry was questioned on education achievements. McCurry reviewed validation data, low risk and high-risk offender disparities regarding release, and public safety assessments. The department has transitioned their firearms to the same platform as the Sheriff’s Office for trainings and equipment. Discussion ensued on ankle monitors and contract savings, implementation of a new case management program, and pre-conviction programs. Questions were addressed on post-conviction programs and re- entry. 5 9:20 AM Crowther reviewed comp time accruals for staff. The comp time is gained this time of year and reduced in the fall. Bullock moved to approve the request. The motion passed. 6 9:25 AM Burmester reviewed the Local Idaho Bridge Program and requested approval to use capital funds to pay for easements for replacement of Sublette Bridge that was awarded through the Bridge Program at a cost of $1.3 million. There will be some road and asphalt work for road realignment. The cost will be approximately $2,000. Discussion ensued on moving funds. Bullock pointed out the deed is in a different name than the person who signed it, which will be looked into. Bullock moved to approve the easements and utilizing funds to purchase them. The motion passed. 7 9:34 AM Assistant Public Works Director Tristan Bourquin, Landfill Manager Dillon Evans, and Facilities Director Dan Kendall also appeared. Jensen reported on discussions with CDM Smith regarding the flood plain modification progress and work with FEMA for a map amendment. CDM asked about moving the scale house forward. After reviewing CDM’s information and numbers, Planning staff is pleased with the numbers gathered for their modeling. They have sufficient information from downstream to the Portneuf from other information they have access to that they can continue to use for their modeling. Regarding the Landfill, from downstream to where we would have a new crossing, there are some issues that are still very large questions, such as the flow amount that will go through the creek with the changes that have been made, so it’s unknown the size of culvert, and how that affects the downstream flow to the owners directly below from that crossing to the Portneuf River. It will take 4-6 months for CDM to do the work with FEMA to modify the floodplain, if possible, and do a letter of map amendment. It is staffs’ recommendation, from a floodplain standpoint, to continue to hold the start of construction until they get this information is correct. The County has been lucky to have two contractors that have waited for this information, but they will have to wait longer and this will impact their schedules for the year. Questions were addressed regarding how the floodplain designation affects the scale house and where it sits. The Planning Department has not had a building permit submitted for the scale house, but some drawings have been reviewed and there are some concerns relative to the floodplain. There is a crawl space designed in the structure that does not have any floodplain flow through vents, and there’s no study for being located in the floodplain. Radford pointed out that the contract contains a clause of time is of the essence, so communication with the contractor is essential and recommended to contact them once a timeline is determined. 8 9:47 AM Moser moved to approve Resolution Numbers 2026-37, 38, 39, and 40. The motion passed. 9 9:47 AM Moser moved to approve signature on the title for a seized vehicle. The motion passed. M June 9, 2026, BOCC Minutes 10 9:48 AM Bullock moved to approve the items on the consent agenda. The motion passed. 11 1:32 PM Hough called the work session to review the combined land use ordinance to order. Planning and Development Director Hal Jensen, Assistant Director Tristan Bourquin, and Public Information Officer Emma Iannacone were present. Bourquin explained this is the third draft that was sent after legal review and the first two drafts were for fine tuning. The staff report shows the 10 existing ordinances that will be replaced with this one comprehensive ordinance, and outlined some of the major changes. The recommendation is to review the draft and give policy direction or suggested amendments so another draft can be prepared before entering the public hearing process. 1:34 PM Questions were addressed on the open space requirements, transfer of development rights, comprehensive plan, solid waste enforcement, energy permit requirements, CUP renewal time, multiparcel infrastructure, setbacks, snow load requirements, building fees through ordinance or resolution, definitions, appeal and reconsideration process, short plat selection, minimum lot size changes, residential suburban capacity analysis, development friendly, data centers, power transmission lines, and grandfathering. 2:22 PM Iannacone will work on formatting and visual aesthetics during July. The Planning Council will review June 17 and the advisory committee received the draft the same day as this Board and will have until June 18 to submit comments.
