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 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.

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.

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.

No. 2026-35 May 12, 2026 WHEREAS, drought-like conditions are being experienced state-wide, as reflected in the Order Declaring Drought Emergency signed April 13, 2026, signed by the Governor and the Director of the Depaitment of Water Resources, and Bannock County Resolution 2026-34, which will lead to increased fire danger and fast fire growth; and WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of Bannock County, Idaho, are granted authority under Bannock County Ordinance 1992-2 to prohibit open fires in any unincorporated areas that constitute a severe fire threat based on the vegetative conditions during the fire season; and WHEREAS, Idaho Code §39-2609(4) prohibits fireworks in any area that constitutes a severe fire threat based on vegetative conditions during the current fire season as determined by the county commission or authority having jurisdiction; and WHEREAS, under Idaho Code §31-2227, the Bannock County Sheriff has the primary responsibility of enforcing all penal statues of the State of Idaho; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that effective June 1, 2026, a ban on certain types of fires is hereby declared for all areas of Bannock County. Many of the fire officials from the municipalities and fire districts throughout Bannock County have worked together to create a unified burn ban with the intent of reducing the risk of wildfires. No open burning or fireworks are allowed within the Wildland-Urban Interface Areas of Bannock County because of anticipated fire danger. The use of commercial gas fire pits and appliances designed for food prep, such as gas grills and/or charcoal briquettes, are exempted from the ban when used according to the manufacturer's instructions. Campfires and recreational fires are allowed in developed campgrounds and private property with the limitations that any fire is contained within a pit or ring not to exceed three feet in diameter and located at least 25 feet from structures or ignitable objects and the flames should not exceed three feet in height and should be screened to eliminate airborne embers. Only non-aerial fireworks are allowed in non-wildland urban interface areas. Per Idaho State Code, no aerial fireworks are allowed anywhere except for approved professional fireworks displays. 2026-35 Pg. 2 Exception: No campries or recreational fires will be allowed in the high wildland fire hazard areas in the Johnny Creek and Pocatello Creek areas of the City of Pocatello. A map of those areas can be found on Pocatello's website. The ban will remain in place until October 1, 2026, or until conditions allow it to be lifted.
