8:59 AM Hough called the meeting to order.  
 
2 
9:00 AM Becky Babb and Brent McLane appeared from the City of Pocatello. McLane reviewed work 
has been ongoing between the Planning Departments for the ACI. County staff presented an agreement to 
the city and it was shared with city staff and some amendments are requested. He discussed annexation, 
growth, development standards, and conflicts between the entity’s standards. The amendments are based 
on reducing conflicts for properties that will be annexed at some point.  
9:03 AM Moser explained the request goes against a recent supreme court decision and the jurisdiction is 
county. There needs to be coordination together, but not mandate developers follow city rules. Bullock 
relayed he read the meaning of the amendments to reflect the city be allowed to review applications. The 
city would like to assist in developments to ensure they adhere to city requirements. Babb shared that 
Planning staff already coordinate with the city public works really well, but adding language to continue 
working together when possible would keep that going. Dixon expressed concern about urban sprawl and 
development outside the ACI to avoid additional regulations. McLane addressed the concern in that there 
is not much more growth that can happen with the geology. The city has concerns after annexation such 
as areas like Johnny Creek with narrow roads and no sewer. 
9:12 AM Public Works Director Kiel Burmester addressed middle ground development, which has been 
being done as a courtesy. Discussion ensued on having a general MOU to cooperate on a minimal level 
and communicate, having clear standards, standards that more closely match a city, and concerns for the 
public hearing date. The proposed amendments will be changed and presented again.   
 
3 
9:24 AM Sarah O’Banion, Family Services Alliance Executive Director, also appeared. Scott reviewed as 
a requirement for compliance with PREA, we have to provide access to treatment for victims. Family 
Services Alliance provides that service through an MOU. O’Banion explained they provide victim 
advocacy to the community and to those in these settings. Bullock moved to authorize signature on the 
document. The motion passed.  
9:28 AM Scott reviewed an agreement with IDJOC for passthrough funds. This is the first time seeing 
this agreement. Clinicians have been employed since 2008 and the funding was previously paid to the 
contractor. The state is changing to the passthrough process, so now the County will pay the contractor. 
Moser moved to approve the agreement. The motion passed.  
9:32 AM Scott reviewed the Mini-Cassia agreement to house overflow juveniles if needed. Bullock 
moved to approve the agreement with Mini-Cassia. The motion passed.  
 
4 
9:33 AM Public Works Assistant Director Buddy Romriell also appeared. Crystal recommended to award 
the winter road salt bid to Specialty Construction Supplies for delivery. Bullock moved to award the bid 
to Specialty Construction Supply. The motion passed.  
 
5 
9:36 AM Romriell reviewed items to dispose by auction or donation. Discussion ensued on reallocating 
the Fight the Bite trailer to maintenance, Event Center, or Juvenile, and potentially keeping it as a pool 
trailer for any department to use. The order of preference for purging the items is auction, salvage, donate, 
and dispose. Hough moved to dispose of the property as discussed. The motion passed.  
 
6 
9:42 AM Klauser reviewed the agreement for opioid settlement funds. Discussion ensued on projects that 
have used the funds and finding projects. Moser moved to approve the settlement agreement. The motion 
passed.  
9:44 AM Juvenile Probation Director Matt Olsen also appeared. Klauser explained the new furniture for 
the YDC has arrived and is being stored by the vendor. The furniture was included in the next budget. The 
vendor can deliver the products by the end of the month if funding is available. There are some excess 
PILT funds that can be used. Bullock moved to pay for the furniture using current budget PILT funds. 
The motion passed.
