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.

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.

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.
