Fund: 32-00-659-01. Commissioner Jensen seconded. All voted in favor. The motion carried.

Next, discussion was held in regard to the 2026 scheduled road maintenance and budget. Mr. Whited
explained that several years ago the Commissioners increased the budget so that 1/7 of the paved roads
could be covered each year. Mr. Whited stated this is the national recommended standard and that a
surface treatment and maintenance on a 7-year rotation.

Mr. Whited stated this year the budget is $2.1 million and everything that is scheduled to be done this year
is approximately $84,000.00 more than what is within the budget. Currently it is 2 % miles short of hitting
the 1/7 that is recommended and the reason for that is the some of the roads are wider than the normal 24-
foot road.

Mr. Whited stated there are a few options and that if the Board would like to remain as it is currently with
the budget, there needs to be $84,000.00 worth removed from the schedule. Mr. Whited referred to District
3 map and stated that he highlighted 3 miles of Uma Road that was scheduled for a micro-seal and if that
is removed, that would save approximately $89,000.00. Chairman Manwaring asked Mr. Whited if Uma
Road was well traveled, to which Mr. Whited stated it is not well traveled but is in poor shape and needs
patching and work don't prior to micro-sealing. The second option would be to use the Local Bridge Line
item within Special Projects Fund, which is $150,000.00 and could cover $84,000.00. Mr. Whited stated
that with all of the bridge replacements that have been done over the last few years using grant funding,
this leaves additional funding that has been used on epoxy coatings on concrete bridge decks.

Mr. Whited stated that he would propose keeping up with the lane miles and using funds from the Local
Bridge Line Item to cover cost.

The Board stated that they would be more in favor of keeping up with the lane miles, overspend the fund
that payment should come from and open the budget to cover the cost as proposed.

Decision: Commissioner Jensen moved to approve the 2026 road maintenance and budget, to keep
up with the lane miles, overspend the proper line item where payment should come out and open
the budget to cover the cost. Commissioner Jackson seconded. All voted in favor. The motion
carried.

DISCUSSION & DECISION REGARDING BUYOUT FOR LEASED COUNTY VEHICLES

Present: Pamela Eckhart- County Clerk
Chad Kent- Sheriff's Office Sergeant

The Board met with Clerk Eckhardt to hold discussion and make a decision in regard to the buyout amount
for leased county vehicles.

Sgt. Kent explained when the two Tundra pickups, the Commissioners Tundra, one of the Sheriffs Office
Tundras and the Rav 4, Unified co-signed the vehicles to dealerships so that we did not have to try to
wholesale them in order to get the most funding out of them. The vehicles sat for just over one month, they
finally received offers and with those offers, wherein there was a negative equity of $36,400. Sgt. Kent
stated that Unified covered the cost for windshield replacement, tires and paid an extra $15,000 (total of
$17,400) to assist with the deficit, which left a buyout amount of $19,000 on those five (5) vehicles.

Clerk Eckhardt stated that the original discussion was to pay this amount out of PILT but in doing research
she found that within Fund 01-18-722-00, there is $50,000, which could be used if needed.

DISCUSSION & DECISION REGARDING APPROVAL OF POLICY FOR DISPOSAL OF INDIGENT
REMAINS

Present: Rod Lilya- Groveland Cemetery
Chad - Groveland Cemetery
Paul Rogers- County Legal Counsel

The Board met to hold discussion and make a possible decision in regard to a policy pertaining to the
disposal of indigent remains.

Chairman Manwaring stated that he spoke with Perry Hawker, Hawker Funeral Home, wherein he advised
that there is state code that protects the funeral home but that there had been a funeral home that spread
ashes and a family came back to retrieve those ashes. Said funeral home had a lawsuit filed against them.

Chairman Manwaring that he was approached by prior Mayor Loomis years ago, with Grove City Cemetery
getting full and the county needed to purchase a plot. This is the same time in which the county was
assisting Groveland Cemetery with work, and it was offered to trade the work completed for a few plots to
be used for indigent burials.

Discussion was held with regard to different ways to properly dispose of indigent cremains that are
unclaimed. Chairman Manwaring stated it is not a bad idea to have the two plots at Groveland Cemetery in
case they are needed. Mr. Lilya stated that things could change and that this is really a funeral home issue,
not a county issue. The funeral home currently has several cremated remains that were not collected.

Discussion was held in regard to the potential liability that the County and Groveland Cemetery has when
it comes two the deposition of the remains. Mr. Lilya stated that Mr. Hawker advised him that per code the
deposition of the remains should be handled by the crematory or funeral home and the county should not
have any responsibility beyond that and neither should the cemetery.

Mr. Lilya stated that previous work had been conducted by the county for Groveland Cemetery, and it was
agreed that the county would receive two burial plots in exchange, which have occurred and those are in
the name of Bingham County.

Further research will be conducted in regard to state code and what should occur. After which a meeting
will be scheduled for a decision to be made.

PRIOR APPROVAL FOR PURCHASE- BUILDING MAINTENANCE
Present: Jason Marlow- Facilities Manager

The Board met to hold discussion and make a decision in regard to the submitted prior approval for
purchase of Generator Services and Testing Contract. Said purchase is in the amount of $5,634.00 through
Western States for both generators in town, which is to be paid from Fund 01-10-0670-00. This test would
occur two times per year and the contract is for a 3-year term.

Decision: Commissioner Jackson moved to approve the prior approval for purchase of Generator
Services and Testing Contract. Said purchase is in the amount of $5,634.00 through Western States
for both generators in town, which is to be paid from Fund 01-10-0670-00. Commissioner Jensen
seconded. All voted in favor. The motion carried.

DISCUSSION & DECISION REGARDING TREE REMOVAL ON THE OLD RIDGESTREET LANDFILL

The Board met to hold Discussion and make a decision in regard to tree removal on the old Ridgestreet
Landfill.

Chairman Manwaring stated that he had received contact from a citizen whose property is up against the
old Ridgestreet Landfill that were close to falling over and there was extreme concern of the damage that
would occur to the citizens home if that were to occur.

There was an estimate provided by Madrigal Enterprises, LLC, for removal of the trees, which was in the
amount of $800.00 and Chairman Manwaring proposed to pay from PILT. Chairman Manwaring stated that
the Road and Bridge crew would conduct removal of the trees once they were taken down in order to save
on cost.

The Board had no concerns.

Decision: Commissioner Jensen moved to approve the prior approval for purchase of tree removal
in the amount of $800.00 to be completed by Madrigal Enterprises LLC, to be paid from PILT. The
County Road and Bridge crew will conduct cleanup of the tree pieces in order to save on cost.
Commissioner Jackson seconded. All voted in favor. The motion carried.

HVAC to split units and the way that they would be placed on the walls would be unsightly. Mr. Marlow
stated that they looked into a different bid, which is before you today, and came in at about the same price,
which was still under the total amount of the grant received.

Chairman Manwaring asked if Legal Counsel had reviewed the proposed contract, wherein it was advised
that it had not been reviewed.

Decision: Commissioner Jackson moved to put the proposed Contract on hold until Legal Counsel
can review the document. Chairman Manwaring seconded. Both voted in favor. The motion carried.

REQUEST SUBMITTED BY DARIN SCHNEIDER, FISH AND GAME, TO CONSTRUCT A NEW BOAT
RAMP AT THE CHERRY BOAT RAMP AT THE CHERRY PLANT ACCESS SITE, WITH POTENTIAL
DECISION

Present: Darin Schneider- Fish and Game

Jeff Gardner- Sheriff
Jordyn Nebeker- Chief Deputy Sheriff
Troy Lenhart- Road & Bridge Supervisor
Scoit Reese- Parks & Recreation

Patrick Kennedy- Fish and Game
Amanda Williard- Planning & Development

The Board met to hold discussion in regard to the request submitted by Darin Schneider, Fish and Game,
to construct a new boat ramp at the Cherry Boat Ramp at the Cherry Plant access site, with potential
decision.

Darin Schneider explained that the Idaho Department of Fish and Game would like to construct a new boat
ramp at the Cherry Plant Access Site, located on the corner of approximately 500 W. 100 S., Thomas Road,
to provide safer river access below the irrigation diversions. The relocated ramp will accommodate larger
boats, reduce erosion and include an expanded parking area, maximizing the limited space that is available.

Mr. Schneider stated this access site has been in place realistically since 1967 and it has been a place
where people have utilized the side channel to access the river below the diversion. Mr. Schneider stated
that Idaho Fish and Game has worked on this proposal for several years and has since made an agreement
and put the plan into Idaho Department of Fish and Game Ownership. Since that occurred, Mr. Schneider
has sought engineers to construct or to create an 80% proof design, which is what he is proposing to the
Board today.

Mr. Schneider presented maps to show the proposal and explained that the current boat ramp lands on the
east side, which has sunken into the soil, has a big gravel bar in front of it and there is a lot of erosion that
has come off of the corner from the road as well.

Mr. Schneider stated that he would like to build a small retaining wall and lift the level slightly adding
approximately 800 yards worth of gravel on the edge of the roadway, turning it into more of a parking lot
and then towards the west end, the property widens back out closer to the Parks property. That corner
could be utilized and build a new ramp on the westerly side, wherein the benefit of that is that it has a
steeper bank. The river bounces from one side to the opposite and it is a steeper edge, wherein a large
boat could launch. Mr. Schneider stated it is safer for recreational use, specifically for launching larger
boats, which will give a new access point below the diversion but still somewhat close to the main stem and
allow utilization of the property.

Mr. Whited stated that the engineers will confirm that there is appropriate site distance and there are no
issues. Mr. Whited stated by building the edges up, it should meet standards.

Amanda Williard, Planning & Development, stated as the project is within the floodplain and the floodway,

a Floodplain Development Permit will be required before construction or development begins. The
Floodplain Development Permit Application requires the following:

Detailed cross-sections of the project site; and

Site Plan, Topographic Plan, Construction Plans, Utility Plans, etc.; and

c. Hydraulic and Hydrologic Analysis. This analysis will need to show that the project will not increase
the water surface elevation of the base flood by more than one (1) foot. If so, a No-Rise Analysis
and a CLMOR will be required before construction, with a LOMR post- construction; and

d. Approved U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Idaho Department of Water Resources Joint

Application Permit.

Post Construction, a certification of the project’s completeness by a licensed engineer will be required.
The Board had no concerns in regard to the proposal and would be in favor.

Decision: Commissioner Jackson moved to support the project proposed by Darin Schneider to
construct a new boat ramp at the Cherry Plant Access Site. Chairman Manwaring seconded. Both
voted in favor. The motion carried.

PUBLIC WORKS

Present: Dusty Whited- Public Works Director
Troy Lenhart- Road & Bridge Supervisor
Paul Rogers- County Legal Counsel
Caden Fuhriman- Eagle Rock Engineering
Nate Clark- Rockwell Homes
Chad Bair- Eagle Rock Engineering

The Board met with Dusty Whited to discuss updates within the Public Works Department, along with other
agenda items.

Discussion was held in regard to the request submitted by Caden Fuhriman, Eagle Rock Engineering,
regarding compaction testing for roads within North River Estates Subdivision. Mr. Whited stated this is a
unique project and that he has never come across this issue. Mr. Whited stated that the roads are
completely built and paved without the proper notification and inspections being completed. Mr. Whited
stated that he requested the test and unfortunately, they did not do much compaction testing along the way.
Mr. Whited stated it was explained how the work was performed and unfortunately in their contractors letter,
the ISPWC Standards were not followed during backfill. ISPCW Standards for a sewer trench is 8-inch lifts
and according to the statement provided, it was brought up in two foot lifts. Mr. Whited stated that this is a

project that was not inspected, according to their own statement, and was not completed to standards.
Therefore, Mr. Whited stated that he sent the tests and photographs to HLE for their review and Luke Jolley
sent a letter in response to the matter which has been provided to the Board.

Mr. Whited stated at this point he believes there are two options wherein the road could be a private road
which would require a re-plat with an HOA that is responsible for maintenance and plowing in the future.
Any repairs or issues in the future would be their responsibility. The second option is to follow the
recommendation provided by HLE, which would be to remove a section of asphalt (full width) for a hundred
feet and pothole in line with the sanitary sewer trench and perform compaction tests in 1 foot depth- intervals
down to a minimum depth of 4’ in a couple locations with 100’ section This should be done in a couple
locations throughout the project. If all tests are good, then the method used in compaction is adequate.

Mr. Whited stated that the proposal received from Mr. Fuhriman was for 75-foot long sections of asphalt to
be cut and they will have to excavate to sub-grade for testing, would need to dig down 1-foot for testing at
a time for a total of 4-feet. Mr. Whited stated that ISWC standard minimum compaction is 95% and he
stated that the compaction would need to meet those standards. This testing would be completed in 3
different spots and then in one area it would be a 50 foot long strip and they would do 2 of those tests and
a testing over the power trench. Mr. Whited stated normally the testing is completed as the project is being
done and that way if there are issues, the project does not proceed and will continue compacting until it
meets standards at that required 95%. Mr. Whited stated since there is spot testing that will be done, if it
does not meet standards, it is uncertain as to how much would not meet the standards. Therefore, there is
no opportunity to correct any of the issues but if the Board feels that this is an adequate option, the testing
would be completed with the possibility that there may or may not be acceptance of the roads.

Commissioner Jackson asked Mr. Whited what would occur if the road did not meet standards, wherein Mr.
Whited stated he is not sure that he would feel that all tests were going to pass but he is hopeful that they
will pass as it is hard to say until the results from testing are received.

Chairman Manwaring asked where the breakdown occurred because when a permit is received, there is a
breakdown of what is required during the process. Mr. Whited stated that requirements are listed within the
manual and the plans. Mr. Whited stated this is the first project for Rockwell Homes in Bingham County,
but he is not sure where the breakdown is as the contractor is to call for inspections.

Commissioner Jackson asked who constructed the road, wherein Mr. Whited advised that Niles Johnson
completed the construction of the road but that he could not recall the company name. Commissioner
Jackson stated that he is surprised that the company who built the road did not initiate the process to be
sure it was done correctly.

Caden Fuhriman stated that there was a breakdown in communication in terms of the contractor and where
they were at in regard to calling in for compaction testing. Mr. Fuhriman stated that other than this being
the first project in Bingham County and in talking with Mr. Whited, missing the inspections is one thing that
might be more county specific but the installation of the trench, backfill and compaction is standard
statewide. Mr. Fuhriman stated that he has worked with Mr. Whited, and he appreciates his willingness to
work through this issue.

Mr. Fuhriman stated that they have not dealt with this in the past and would like to be sure that if testing is
complete, they do pass, are accurate and that the county is getting quality products so as to not be a cost
burden in the future.

Mr. Fuhriman stated there is a large cost when it comes to conducting testing like this, but he understands
that is not a county issue. Depending on the outcome of the test, Mr. Fuhriman stated that he would like to
know the Boards comfort level in accepting the roads as public roads and right of way. Mr. Fuhriman stated
the last option and one they would not like is to go to a private road, as it would be a lot of roadways to
divide between homeowners when it pertains to cost and would be a burden.

Further discussion was held in regard to the standards and what will be required.

Nate Clark, Rockwell Homes, stated there were mistakes made and that their contractor should have
contacted Mr. Whited or a representative in order to visually inspect what was occurring. The reason for
doing so is that no other municipality has ever required this of them and their contractor was not familiar
and did not read the manuals that Bingham County has. Chairman Manwaring asked if the contractor was
aware that this was required, wherein Mr. Clark stated that he nor his contractor were aware that this would
be required.

Commissioner Jackson stated that it is the responsibility of the contractor to be sure that requirements are
met and testing is completed. Mr. Clark stated that it is correct and that the contractor, as a professional,
should have done their research and realized what was expected.

Chairman Manwaring stated that he does not have an issue with the testing being completed but that it is
not the entire road, just in test strips. Chairman Manwaring asked what would happen if all samples passed
at 95% compaction, with just those sections, if Rockwell Homes would be in favor of providing some kind
of a warranty for a few years in order to cover the cost if there are any issues? Mr. Clark stated from the
perspective of Rockwell Homes would be willing to work through that and provide a significantly longer
warranty.

Mr. Whited referred to the letter that he provided to Mr. Fuhriman, which stated, if steps 1 and 2 pass at all
levels a warranty and bond, in the amount to be determined, may be required. Mr. Whited reiterated that
this was also within the recommendation of HLE.

Chairman Manwaring stated that the Bingham County Road and Bridge Standards should be followed in
regard to accepting roads.

Nate Clark stated that they would be willing to do a 10 year warranty and could navigate situations together
with the county but there could be other options that are not as heavily guarded. Mr. Clark stated that they
want to work with the county to be sure that all those involved are comfortable with what is decided.

Mr. Whited stated that he would not be comfortable making any promises as to what will be accepted, as
the county is not sure what the results will show. Mr. Whited believes at this point Rockwell Homes should
decide either to become private roads or proceed with testing, with a representative from the county present
during the testing and after results are received, they will be reviewed thoroughly to meet standards.

Mr. Clark stated that a middle ground needs to be determined as Rockwell Homes does not want to spend
$100,000.00 to get testing results for the county to decide this is not acceptable. There should be a
compromise as to what would be accepted. Mr. Clark stated if Mr. Whited is set on the compaction being
at 95%, and testing shows it does not meet that; it is hard for Rockwell Homes to spend the funding in
testing. Mr. Whited explained that every test, if done properly, every test has to meet or exceed 95%
compaction. If the Board is willing to make the statement if every test meets ISPW and Bingham County
standards at 95%, those roads will be accepted.

Mr. Whited stated that he would look for consistency with the test results because if there is consistent
reading throughout the entire process than the county will be comfortable with the entire process and even
‘the areas that were not tested will meet standards.

After discussion, it was the preference of the Board that this matter be continued until further research can
be done in regard to bond and warranty, to see what is possible for the county to consider accepting, along
with Rockwell Homes to gather information from the City of Shelley in regards to the issues they have had
and the affect that would occur as to complete the process backwards instead of the correct way.

Decision: Commissioner Jackson moved to table this action for further research to be completed.
Commissioner Jensen seconded. All voted in favor. The motion carried.

Next, discussion was held in regard to the 2026 oil bid, wherein Mr. Whited presented documentation from
Idaho Asphalt Supply, Inc., which is in the amount of $56.00 per ton or $300.00 per hour.

Decision: Commissioner Jensen moved to approve the 2026 oil bid from Idaho Asphalt Supply Inc.,
in the amount of $56.00 per ton or $300.00 per hour, as presented by Mr. Whited. Commissioner
Jackson seconded. All voted in favor. The motion carried.

WRITTEN TESTIMONY RECEIVED BEFORE THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS PUBLIC
HEARING

(CC-8) Allan Johnson, P.E., Regional Engineering Manager, Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ),
who provided testimony in a neutral position and stated the following:

The proposed site overlies the groundwater capture zones for several nearby private wells and the
following public water systems:

- City of Blackfoot Well #3

- City of Blackfoot Well #4

- City of Blackfoot Well #10

- Trin Pines Mobile Home Park

If the intention of the Developer is to dispose of wastewater via individual septic systems, DEQ is
concerned that the number and density of the lots have the potential to pollute groundwater and affect the
nearby public water system wells, as well as nearby private wells and wells within this proposed
subdivision. As such, the Developer is required to meet Idaho Administrative Code 58.01.11.400.01
(Idaho Groundwater Quality Rule) which states:

Release Degrading Ground Water Quality: No person shall cause or allow the release, spilling,
leaking, emission, discharge, escape, leaching, or disposal of a contaminant into the environment in a
manner that:

a. Causes a groundwater quality standard to be exceeded.

b. Injures a beneficial use of groundwater; or

c. 1|s not in accordance with a permit, consent order or applicable best management practice,

best available method or best practical method.

To demonstrate that the septic discharge from the subdivision will comply with the above rule, the
Developer may choose to do one or more of the following:

- Perform a Level 1 Nutrient-Pathogen Evaluation to demonstrate that the combined septic
systems from the subdivision will not cause a groundwater quality standard to be exceeded at
the proposed lot density.

- Decrease lot and/or septic system density, according to modeling results, to a point where the
data shows no significant impact on groundwater quality.

- Require individual septic systems to have additional treatment technology (extended
treatment, aeration, evaporation, incineration, etc.) for nitrate reduction, upon the
demonstration that such technologies will be effective and protective of groundwater.

- Construct a community wastewater treatment system, such as a community evaporative
lagoon.

- Combine the individual homes to one or more community septic systems (Large Soil
Absorption System or LSAS), which will also require groundwater modeling and engineering.
Acentralized system will provide infrastructure for future connection to sewer when sewer
services are extended to the area.

- Other best management practices as approved upon consultation with DEQ.

For drinking water, community water systems are more protective of the environment and public health.
DEQ strongly recommends that the subdivision either connect to an existing public water system or
establish their own community water system. If the Developer decides to create a new public water
system, such system must be designed and constructed to meet the Idaho Rules for Public Drinking

Water Systems (IDAPA 58.01.08). The Developer should contact DEQ for information and direction
regarding public drinking water systems.

After presentation of the Staff Report by Addie Jo Jackman, Planning & Development Assistant Director,
Commissioner Jackson referred to Exhibit A-8 and stated on the east side, there is a small strip of what
looks like a field that adjoins the farm shop and farm area. Commissioner Jackson asked Ms. Jackman why
that was not included within the request, to which Ms. Jackman explained that it is her understanding that
it is a different parcel and that it is in different ownership, which is perhaps leased and farmed by the same
individual. Ms. Jackman stated there is a parcel to the northeast and a parcel along Mitchell Lane frontage
to the south. Therefore, there are two separate parcels that she believes are in different ownership than the
Applicants.

Commissioner Jensen stated that pressurized irrigation was discussed and asked where the pump is
located, wherein Ms. Jackman explained the pump is outside of the subdivision property, located to the
Northeast. Ms. Jackman stated the Applicants are currently working on negotiations to obtain easement to
that pump. Ms. Jackman stated that there will need to be either an easement to the pump before the Final
Plat is recorded or the location of the pump will need to be moved.

The Public Hearing was opened, and testimony was presented at the Public Hearing, which was as follows:

(CC-9) Chris Street, HLE, Applicant's Representative, stated the strip of property referred to by
Commissioner Jackson is owned by the Gardners, who own the trucking company further east. Mr. Street
stated currently the property is watered with the pump, located east of the proposed subdivision. Mr. Street
stated the current negotiation is to leave the pump at its current location and trying to figure out if there
should be another pump added for the proposed subdivision or if the Gardners will provide a pump.

Mr. Street stated during the Planning & Zoning Commission Public Hearing Robert Olsen explained that
the fence line is actually further south than the deed line, which occurs often. Mr. Street stated that the
easiest way to cure this without going through litigation is to create a non-buildable lot that can be deeded
over to Mr. Olsen. Mr. Street stated that Mr. Olsen maintains the property that he has been using for many
years and keeps the fence where he wants and it does not affect the subdivision. Mr. Street stated this
cleans up dispute without bringing attorneys into the issue.

Commissioner Jackson confirmed there were no further questions for Mr. Street at this time.
Testimony in favor was received as follows:

(CC-10) Robert Olsen, 21 E. 100 N., Blackfoot, Idaho, read a statement, which was submitted into the
record as Exhibit CC-10A and read as follows: “We, Robert Olsen and Luann Olsen, acknowledge that we
own property identified as parcel number RP0353700. There is an existing fence on parcel number
RP0353904 to the South of our land. With the development of Mountain Aura Subdivison, the Developers
are creating a non-buildable lot where our fence currently exists, which will be conveyed to us, and the
fence will remain on the non-buildable lot”. Mr. Olsen stated that he is satisfied but would like to be sure
that the fence remains as it is currently. If not, there are motorcycles and side by sides on his property.

Commissioner Jackson confirmed there was no testimony in neutral or opposition. The Public Hearing was
closed to any further testimony and the Board held deliberation.

REASON

The Board reviewed the Application and record in the context of Bingham County Code Title 10 Chapter
15 Amendments and made the following findings:

The Comprehensive Plan Map Area Amendment Application met the requirements in Bingham
County Code Section 10-15-3, as the Application was submitted by the property owners and
included all required contents of a complete Application; and

The requested amendment is for approx. 20.26 acres of land with a current Comprehensive Plan
Map Area designation of Agricultural. To facilitate the Applicant's desire to subdivide their property,
which is zoned Residential/Agriculture, an amendment is required to the Residential/Agricultural
Comprehensive Plan Map Area; and

That the subject parcel meets the specific purposes of the Comprehensive Plan for a
Residential/Agricultural Map Area in that request is consistent with development in the vicinity, the
Residential/Agricultural Comprehensive Plan Map Area corresponds with “R” and “R/A” zones in
the Zoning Ordinance, and is established to direct the orderly and timely conversion of land as the
need arises into residential areas that are still rural in character; and

That it was appropriate to recommend approval of the Comprehensive Plan Map Area Amendment
from Agricultural to Residential/Agricultural to support the current zoning designation and facilitate
subdivision development upon review of the Applicant’s responses to Bingham County Code 10-
15-3(E).

2) The Board reviewed the Mountain Aura Subdivision Application and record in the context of Bingham
County Code Title 10 Chapter 14 Subdivision Regulations and made the following findings:

The Application met the requirements of Bingham County Code Title 10, Chapter 14, Subdivision
Regulations, and

The Subdivision Application met the zoning district purposes of Bingham County Code Section 10-
4-2(C) as the “R/A” Residential/Agricultural zone is to permit the establishment of low-density
single-family dwellings with lot sizes sufficient for individual sewer and water facilities, with
compatibility to existing uses in the immediate area and similar population density. The Board found
the area consists primarily of residential parcels, agriculturally farmed fields, and the subject
property is surrounded by Residential/Agriculture zoning. Additionally, the proposed development
has access to utilities, adequate service by roadways, with proposed lot sizes suitable for a
combination of residential and agricultural land uses; and

The Application met the requirements of Bingham County Code Section 10-6-6(B)(1), as the
proposed lots meet the 1-acre minimum allowed for in a Residential/Agriculture Zoning District; and
irrigation water rights will be assessed by the Blackfoot Irrigation Company through 25 shares, with
water delivery by the Lloyd Canal Company and the Blackfoot Slough Company. Water will be
delivered to all lots through a new pressurized irrigation system; and

The Public Hearing met the notice requirements of Idaho Code Title 67, Chapter 65, and Bingham
County Code Section 10-3-6.

Commissioner Jensen stated that he has no concerns with the Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment but
does not feel that approval of the subdivision should occur until there is documentation stating how the
irrigation is going to go. Discussion was held with Legal Counsel, wherein Paul Rogers stated that it could
be placed as a condition and that the Applicants are to provide proof of an agreement for the pump and

easement.

DECISION

Based on the record, Commissioner Jensen moved to uphold the Planning & Zoning Commission’s
recommendation to approve the Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment from Agricultural to
Residential/Agricultural located at approx. north and east of 46 W. 50 S., Blackfoot, ID 83221 on

Commission’s recommendation and approve the Mountain Aura Estates Subdivision, consisting of

at approx. north and east of 46 W. 50 S., Blackfoot, ID 83221 on approx. 20.26 acres, as proposed
by property owners Diego Armando Bustamante-Aquino & Dora Patricia Vidal- Andrade, with
condition that proof of an Agreement for the pump and easement be provided to the Planning &
Development Department prior to the Final Plat being recorded. Commissioner Jackson seconded.
Both voted in favor. The motion carried.

Request for Reconsideration/Judicial Review: Upon denial or approval of a zone change, with adverse
conditions, pursuant to Idaho Code Section 67-6535(2)(b), the Applicant or affected person seeking Judicial
Review of compliance with the provisions of this section must first seek reconsideration of the final decision

Commissioner

Next, discussion was held in regard to the request submitted by Bill Dixon, Eastern Idaho State Fair, for
county assistance in spraying mag chloride for the Eastern Idaho State Fair.

Mr. Whited stated the application takes less than one full day, the Eastern Idaho State Fair will pay for the
chemical and hauling of the chemical and that the county will complete application.

The Board had no concerns.

Decision: Commissioner Jensen moved to approve the request submitted by Bill Dixon, Eastern
Idaho State Fair, for county assistance in spraying mag chloride. The Eastern Idaho State Fair will
pay for the chemical and hauling of the chemical and the county will complete application.
Commissioner Jackson seconded. All voted in favor. The motion carried.

Next, discussion was held in regard to proceeding with opening of a county gravel source on Brush Creek
Road. Mr. Whited explained that the Board had looked at the materials last week with the Road and Bridge
Supervisor. Mr. Whited stated that Road and Bridge took around 30 loads of the material last fall and hauled
it over to Cranes Flat, ran it through the crusher and brought the material back over to Miner Creek, which
has been there throughout the winter. Mr. Whited stated there was not a lot of melt off or run off to see but
there was enough to get a good idea of what the material is going to be like. Mr. Whited stated he is before
the Board today for a decision as to move forward with opening a county gravel source or not.

Chairman Manwaring stated that it would cost the county quite a bit of money for the study and a
reclamation plan. Chairman Manwaring stated that he spoke with another individual in the area who
informed him that it looked good, but when it got wet, it was mushy. Chairman Manwaring stated that Troy
Lenhart had a suggestion which was to hire a few part time employees and keep a few graders in that area
to keep grading. Mr. Whited stated that Troy Lenhart did talk to him about that idea, but he does not believe
it is a good solution and no matter what gravel is put on the roads, it is going to start having problems. Mr.
Whited stated the county does not have graders available to be used for that proposal.

Commissioner Jensen stated that he would recuse himself from this decision, as he is the President of the
Eastern Idaho Grazing Association, who is the gravel source property owner.

Discussion was held in regard to the percentage of time throughout the summer in which grading occurs in
the mountains and that it would be beneficial to have a source that is closer.

Mr. Whited explained that the cost to complete the Reclamation Plan and Traffic Impact Study would cost
$15,000.00 and Mr. Whited stated that the best way to start the process would be to rent a crusher that is
on tracks, is all in one self-contained area, takes up 1/10 of the space that the county crusher system does
to set up. For the first year or two, Mr. Whited stated until the area has a big enough area hauled away from
the corner and out of the area that county equipment could be set up, there is no other way of starting the
proposed operation without a mobile unit. Mr. Whited stated the last time that the county rented a mobile
unit, it cost $20,000.00 per month and he would guess with inflation that the cost would be close to
$30,000.00.

Drew Jensen stated that he believes that the area would be a great gravel source and would be
advantageous for the county. In the dry part of the summer, they do a great job at grading but one week
later, you cannot tell that the grading has been done and some of it is that vehicles have more power now
and are in turn pulling bigger trailers.

Chairman Manwaring asked Legal Counsel if approval from the Eastern Idaho Grazing Association should
be received prior to the Board making a decision. Mr. Rogers stated that it would be beneficial to have
written approval.

Tiffany Olsen, Planning & Development Director, stated if this is approved by the Board, the project will
require a Conditional Use Permit.

The Board was in favor of placing this matter on hold until Mr. Jensen could get further information from the
Eastern Idaho Grazing Association in order to proceed.

Decision: Commissioner Jackson moved to table this matter until further information is obtained
from the Eastern Idaho Grazing Association. Chairman Manwaring seconded. Both voted in favor.
The motion carried.

Next, discussion was held in regard to the State/Local Agreement for Ferry Butte Bridge Rehab Project and
approval of accompanying Resolution 2026-22. Mr. Whited explained that this agreement is required for
any federally funded projects.

Decision: Commissioner Jensen moved to approve and sign the State/Local Agreement for Ferry

Butte Bridge Rehab Project and the accompanying Resolution 2026-22. Commissioner Jackson
seconded. All voted in favor. The motion carried and Resolution 2026-22 was approved as follows:

DISCUSSION REGARDING PLAN TO UPDATE THE FRONT PARKING LOT OF THE COURTHOUSE,
WITH POTENTIAL DECISION- SUBMITTED BY JASON MARLOW- FACILITIES MANAGER

Present: Jason Marlow- Facilities Manager

The Board met with Jason Marlow to discuss the proposed plan to update the front parking lot of the
Courthouse.

Mr. Marlow stated there was previous discussion in regard to additional security to the front of the
courthouse and installing an extended rock garden along the front and since that area will be closed off, it
suggested changing the direction of the car parking so that there is one entry and exit. This will provide
security for impeding traffic coming from W. Washington Street. Mr. Marlow stated that switching the
direction in which cars park, enter and exit, will reduce the amount of congestion there is within the current
entry/exit.

Review of and discussion regarding the proposed quotes in regard to seal coating, patching of the parking
lot, as well as removal and repouring of the skinny sidewalks on the east and south side of the front
entrance.

The Board was in favor proceeding with Sealcoating to be completed by Imperial Asphalt ($3,898.00),
Patching to be completed by Black Diamond Paving ($2,835.00) and removal/repouring of the skinny
sidewalks on the east and south side of the front entrance to be completed by Hoffman and Son
($25,600.00).

A brief discussion was held with regard to installing the hydronics under the sidewalks, same as to what is
on the ramp and the side door that is used by employees, to assist with keeping the snow melted. Mr.
Marlow stated that it would be beneficial to do so while the concrete is dug up. This item will be put on hold
until a later date due to the cost.

This will cause a lot of change for the public and therefore, there will need to be extra signage placed and
proper notice provided.

Decision: Commissioner Jensen moved to approve the prior approval for purchase for sealcoating
to be provided by Imperial Asphalt in the amount of $3,898.00 and patching of the parking lot by
Black Diamond in the amount of $2,835.00, which is to be paid from Fund: 01-10-494-00.
Commissioner Jackson seconded. All voted in favor. The motion carried.

Commissioner Jackson moved to approve the prior approval for purchase of removal and repouring
of the skinny sidewalks on the east and south side of the front entrance to be done by Hoffman &
Son in the amount of $25,600.00, which is to be split between Fund: 01-10-494-00 and 01-10-443-
0001.
