8:59 AM Ennis reviewed the annual agreement with the Ag Extension. Moser moved to sign the
agreement with the University of Idaho. The motion passed.

9:02 AM Planning and Development Director Hal Jensen and Applicant David Stites appeared. Jensen
reviewed that there have been meetings with applicant for 15-18 months in preparation to build a home. A
variance is requested from the flood protection elevation requirement of two feet above the base flood
elevation. As a safety factor, an additional foot was added to the ordinance. That requirement is being
looked at in the current ordinance rewrite. The Stites family has lived there since 1959. Discussion ensued
on the definitions. Bullock moved to grant the variance. The motion passed.
4
9:08 AM Facilities Director Dan Kendall also appeared. Crystal reviewed the previous discussions and
that the bidder was contacted and verified the bid submitted was correct. Crystal recommended to award
the bid to Boatman and Sons Cleaning for $118,089.60 annually. Moser moved to award the janitorial
services bid as proposed. The motion passed.
5
9:09 AM Klauser explained the new auditing firm cannot do the lease reporting and requested a contract
with DebtBook for $7,500. They will waive the implementation fee. Legal has reviewed the contract that
is for three years and has a 30-day out. This was not budgeted and it was requested to use County
Operations. Bullock moved to approve signature on the contract and use County Operations for payment.
The motion passed.

threats. Mandatory trainings will be scheduled for each office with the office closing during training.
