PUBLIC WORKS
Present: Dusty Whited- Public Works Director
Troy Lenhart- Road & Bridge Supervisor
Addie Jo Jackman- Planning & Development Assistant Director
Nate Clark- Rockwell Homes
Caden Fuhriman- 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 with regard to the Notice to Destroy Noxious Weeds, which is required to be
published within the designated county newspaper one time per year.
Decision: Commissioner Jensen moved to approve the Notice to Destroy Noxious Weeds, to be
published. Commissioner Jackson seconded. All voted in favor. The motion carried.
Next, discussion was held with regard to the request submitted by Caden Fuhriman, Eagle Rock
Engineering, regarding request for the county to accept a 7-year extended pavement warranty as risk
management measure for North River Estates Subdivision.
Nate Clark, Rockwell Homes, stated during a previous meeting there were options discussed and the
matter was tabled and he is back before the board for a separate proposal. Mr. Clark stated that
background research was conducted, discussions were held with the Public Works Director from
Bonneville County, the Public Works Director from the City of Shelley and the Public Works Director from
Jefferson County, in order to gather input on what they have seen when it comes to compaction failure.
Mr. Clark stated within the documentation provided, a lot of them mention that it is around three (3) years,
five (5) years and even six (6) years, when failure occurs in compaction and the road section starts to sluff
down because of whatever issue has been. Mr. Clark stated Rockwell as a company would like to
propose doing a seven (7) year warranty on the road section for North River Estates Subdivision and as
there were concerns about if the company dissolves, he would propose signing a financial guarantee for
the seven (7) years in the form of a letter of credit. Mr. Clark stated there were concerns about a potential
bond and collecting on the bond and how that would work from the county’s prospective, which brought
them to the letter of credit. Mr. Clark stated in the future if there is an issue and Rockwell Homes does not
fix the roads; the county would have direct access to the funds through the letter of credit with the bank.
Mr. Clark stated he believes this could be a huge benefit for both Rockwell Homes and the County in
order to move forward from the situation. Mr. Clark stated there will be a ninety (90) day cure period in
order to cure any issues, as long as it is within the weather window and allowed.
Chairman Manwaring stated following county regulations, which was discussed during the last meeting,
testing the roads and the results have to meet 95% minimum per ISPWC standards. Chairman
Manwaring asked Mr. Whited for his input and what would happen if part of the road fails. Mr. Whited
stated that that he is not sure that he wouid be willing to consider this type of agreement versus doing the
testing and having a better idea of where the results stand. Mr. Whited stated that he provided the Board
with an updated letter from Luke Jolley with HLE and his recommendation is against the proposal. One of
the reasons is that in order to conduct the testing is fairly expensive throughout the project and in his
mind, the county would be setting a precedence for future developers. Mr. Whited stated that standards
are in place to be followed and a process to be followed for a reason and by allowing the proposal, the
county would be going against those standards.
Mr. Whited stated that he also spoke with Lance Bates, Bonneville County, who stated that 5-6 years is
when he would typically see things starting to fail and there is no way to know when the failures would
end because there is no way of knowing what is underneath. Mr. Whited stated that he also spoke with
another local contractor that does a lot of work in Bingham County and he stated that he personally hired
a contractor, which did not do proper compaction and testing, and the City of Blackfoot accepted it
anyway, but that road today has a lot of problems. Those problems started 7-10 years after the phase
April 2026
was complete. Mr. Whited stated there is no way of knowing what is underneath and the problems that
could arise if there is no testing completed. Mr. Whited stated that the proposed amount is to replace the
road section and if there is a failure it is going to be because of the trenching and there is no way of
knowing what that could end up costing. Mr. Whited stated there is nothing within the proposed estimate
to do any trench work and how extensive it could be. Mr. Whited reiterated that he believes proceeding
with the testing would be his recommendation and what the Board should consider.
Chairman Manwaring stated that he would like to see the base of the testing to know the results.
Commissioner Jensen stated that he would agree that the testing needs to be done. Due to the cost is
would be detrimental and he does not believe that is fair to push that onto the county taxpayers.
Commissioner Jackson stated that he does not believe that the taxpayers should be stuck covering the
cost for this mistake and that testing should occur.
Mr. Whited stated if the county does not accept the seven (7) year guarantee, the developer would be
bringing another proposal before the board to do testing and one thing that needs to be looked at with the
next proposal is a micro seal after the testing is done and that would be covering up the joints, making it
one complete road without any seams. The micro-sealing for that would be approximately $24,000.00.
Commissioner Jensen reiterated that it is important for the county to stick to the regulations and set
precedence for future developers.
Paul Rogers, County Legal Counsel, stated that Idaho Code gives authority to the county to set standards
at their discretion as to how roads are accepted. Mr. Rogers stated that the County Public Works Director
and other county officials over the years have set up procedures and standards to be followed.
Chairman Manwaring stated that he would prefer that county standards be followed but that Rockwell
Homes could come back before the Board with another proposal but believes the testing should be
completed.
Nate Clark asked if this road would be a private road and under the responsibility of an HOA, would there
be a potential tax reduction for the residents within the subdivision that are not getting the same benefit
from the county for road maintenance because they will be paying for their own road maintenance.
Chairman Manwaring stated that has not been done in the past and would need to be researched by legal
counsel. Chairman Manwaring stated that he assumed the request would need to fall under a hardship,
but he does not feel that individuals moving into the subdivision. Mr. Rogers stated if the decision is made
for the road to be private, they will need to go through the re-plat process.
Decision: Commissioner Jackson moved to deny the request submitted by Caden Fuhriman, for
the County to accept a 7-year extended pavement warrant as risk management for North River
Estates Subdivision. Commissioner Jensen seconded. All voted in favor. The motion carried.

Board moved out of Executive Session at 11:30 a.m.

DISCUSSION & DECISION REGARDING HIRING A COMPANY TO MOW NORTH BINGHAM COUNTY
PARK AND SPORTSMANS PARK- REQUESTED BY SCOTT REESE
Present: Scott Reese- Parks & Recreation
Leigh Ann Davis- Parks & Recreation
The Board met to hold discussion and make a decision in regard to hiring a company to mow North Bingham
County Park and Sportsmans Park.
Mr. Reese gave a background in regard to the Parks Maintenance Supervisor position, wherein after
calculations, the cost would be cheaper to hire a company to complete the mowing rather than employee
costs, which include benefits, wages and vehicle costs.
Mr. Reese explained that he had received quotes from Idaho Classic Landscape and Sprinklers and
Precision Landscaping in regard to the mowing. Mr. Reese stated that he would propose the Board approve
Precision Landscaping, although they were the higher quote, due to the company having multiple
employees and the positive history of work completed for Patriot Field. Idaho Classic Landscape and
Sprinklers has one employee and could make it hard to keep up.
The received quotes were as follows:
Sportsmans Park North Bingham Park Total
Precision Landscaping $29,200.00 $ 29,200.00 $58,400.00
Idaho Classic $19,631.25 $20,962.25 $41,811.56
Leigh Ann Davis explained that North Bingham Park had received an RV Living award for Best of the Best
Campground, wherein a certificate was sent, a write up on their website and it was placed on the county’s
website as well. This came from positive comments from individuals who stayed at the park, which is
amazing for the county.
The Board stated that they were in favor of the proposal to hire Precision Landscaping, as the county has
good history with them in their work for Patriot Field.
Decision: Commissioner Jensen moved to approve the quote from Precision Landscaping for
managing North Bingham and Sportsmans Park. There were two bids provided, wherein the lesser
quote was only a one employee company, and the other company has multiple employees and a
history in great work that has been done at Patriot Field.

Special Presentation: Lindsey Gluch, Commission Clerk, referred to the email sent by Matt Galloway
several weeks ago wherein he informed all county employees that the monthly telephone assignment
rotations would continue. The Al will always need a place to send calls to people who aren't sure what they
need or what specific department they may need. But the IT department can make the Al better by adding
and updating it based on feedback from the calls. The IT department will need to know the question being
asked in order to prompt the system to properly forward the call. Please take notes of any calls that may
be incorrectly coming to your office, the date and time those calls were received and advise the IT
department. Ms. Giuch stated if there are any questions, please contact either Matt Galloway or herself and

that Matt is the IT Director/Administrative Lieutenant for the Sheriffs Office. Chairman Manwaring stated

is lucky to have him. Chairman Manwaring stated that Matt will be working on a protocol in order for
individuals to better understand what to do when this occurs.
Chief Deputy Nebeker also recognized Matt Galloway and stated on the Sheriffs Office side of things there
are a lot of different ways to serve, and it does not always have to be on the front lines. Chief Deputy
Nebeker stated there is a lot of liability when it comes to the ability to leverage technology. Chief Deputy
Nebeker stated managing the mapping and ability to know where other deputies are during critical incidents
is beneficial, the ability to manage digital video evidence for court cases and knowing how to properly store
them, along with the timelines is extremely important. Chief Deputy Nebeker stated that when Matt is
needed, he is there and you will never see a more dedicated employee.
Chief Deputy Nebeker provided an update for the Sheriffs Office and stated that both the Sheriffs Office
and Blackfoot Police were involved, in multiple ways, in a critical incident in Power County. Bingham County
was there to assist the Tri-County Sheriffs Association and STAR Team, which is one of the best agency
operations that he has seen. Chief Deputy Nebeker stated that this was one of the most critical incidents
that he has ever seen in Southeast Idaho. The fear and weight of danger was as real as he has ever felt,
and it is difficult not to be there on the front line with your guys when incidents like this occur. Chief Deputy
Nebeker stated that he would ask for patience as a lot of the normal processes may take longer than normal
but that they are consolidating and the number one priority is to take care of the staff and do everything
possible for the public not to see a dip in the ability to serve the community. Lastly, Chief Deputy Nebeker
stated that both he and the Sheriff are extremely proud of their team and are very thankful because although
their patches say Sheriffs Office, it also says Bingham County too and they know they have full support.
Chief Deputy Nebeker stated when incidents such as this occur, it really hits home and he would like to
thank everyone personally as he believes this is the best that Bingham County has ever operated and it
takes everyone as a team.
Chairman Manwaring: Had no updates at this time.
Commissioner Jackson: Stated that he is feeling a little old this week with the four (4) astronauts launching
to the moon and he remembers well when that first one occurred, which was approximately fifty (50) years,
according to the news. Commissioner Jackson stated that it is a great time to be alive with all of the

such as the one in Power County.
Commissioner Jensen: Stated that he would like to thank each department head for running a good team

Dusty Whited: Stated that mountain roads are officially open as of last Wednesday, April 15".
Jimmy Roberts: Stated that last month he conducted a case review for a Search and Rescue incident that

did a great job. This is being done each time a search is conducted to ensure if there are any improvements
to be made, those are done to assist in leading a better search.
Mr. Roberts stated that he was awarded a grant in the amount of $10,000 to assist in teaching Child Infant
Death Investigation courses, which will be held throughout the state starting this coming Friday and he is
hopeful that it will be successful. :

SHERIFFS OFFICE
Present: Jeff Gardner- Sheriff
Jordyn Nebeker- Chief Deputy Sheriff
The Board met with Sheriff Gardner to discuss updates within the Sheriffs Office.
PUBLIC WORKS
Present: Dusty Whited- Public Works Director
Troy Lenhart- Road & Bridge Supervisor
Tiffany Olsen- Planning & Development Director
Paul Rogers- County Legal Counsel
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 budget and that one of the funding sources from the state will be
reduced, which will mean a large reduction of funding starting in July 2026. Chairman Manwaring stated
there may not be as many grants available for projects also. Mr. Whited stated that Bingham County is
the second hardest hit among local agencies and the only county that receives more from this funding is
Bonneville County.
Discussion was held in regard to the Eastern Idaho Grazing Association request to work with Bingham
County to open a gravel source on Brush Creek Road. Commissioner Jensen recused himself from this
discussion/decision due to his membership with the Eastern Idaho Grazing Association and his
representation of the same.
Mr. Whited stated that the Eastern Idaho Grazing Association prepared a letter for the Board, wherein
Chairman Manwaring stated during the last meeting discussion was held in regard to an impact study and
that the Grazing Association would cover the cost where the source will be on their property. Chairman
Manwaring stated that the letter provided states that Bingham County would pay for and provide the
impact study. Mr. Whited stated that the letter states that the association agrees to not charge Bingham
County for any gravel, at whatever the state rate is, but he is still not sure what that cost will be. Mr.
Whited referred to the letter, which states that it will be charged and compensated at the current Idaho
State Borrow Source,
Discussion was held with regard to hiring additional individuals or renting another crusher for this project.
Mr. Whited stated this would make sense to do so but he has not surveyed the area and additional
research needs to be done to review the costs to operate the project. Mr. Whited stated that it is proposed
to enter into an agreement in order for the county to recoup any initial costs.
Chairman Manwaring asked to hold discussion as to where this project is on Association property, if they
should be paying for the study and that he believes whoever owns the property should be paying for the
study and where it is the Associations pit, if they should be handling the application before the Planning &
Zoning Commission for the permit. Drew Jensen stated that he discussed this with Mr. Whited and that he
would be willing to spearhead the application on behalf of the Association and as far as fees are
concerned, the Association is willing to work through the payment of gravel. Mr. Whited stated that all of
the current gravel source pits that are not county owned property exceed him working for the county, so
he is not sure how that has occurred in the past.
Commissioner Jackson asked how much the fees would be if the county were liable and how much time it
would take to recoup those costs in gravel, wherein Mr. Whited stated in the last 9 years that he has
31
April 2026
worked for the county, the fee has always been $1.00 per yard. Mr. Whited stated last fall there was a
meeting at the Public Works Office and several counties were present and it was advised that fees were
going to increase from the $1.00 per yard. Mr. Whited stated it could pay for itself in one year in gravel
and it will be close to an even swap within the first year. Commissioner Jackson stated that he would be
more inclined to approve the request if it is within one year but if it was going to stretch out 3-5 years for
payback, he would not be in agreeance.
Drew Jensen stated that is counting just the gravel and not counting the extra mileage, fuel and wear on
the trucks hauling from Cranes Flat. Mr. Jensen stated another thing to consider is that three (3) counties
pull gravel from Crane’s Flat and that is a lot of gravel each year and the potential for the county to lose
access is there.
Chairman Manwaring asked Legal Counsel if the individual that owns the gravel source, but they are
working with the county to have a closer gravel source, there will need to be a Reclamation Plan and an
Impact Study completed, should the owner of the property pay the cost or should the county? Mr. Rogers
stated that is up to the Board and whatever is decided could be explained within the agreement. Mr.
Whited stated that it would be beneficial for Mr. Jensen to represent the Association and he would
represent the county in regard to the traffic impact study that is to be completed. Therefore, when it goes
to Planning & Zoning, Mr. Whited would represent the County, and Drew Jensen would represent the
Association.
Mr. Whited stated that $15,000 is the estimated cost from Keller Engineering to complete the study and
Reclamation Plan. Mr. Rogers stated that it would be beneficial to know specific numbers before making
the decision to know who will be paying the cost.
Mr. Rogers stated that the Board should keep in mind that there is a chance that the Planning & Zoning
Commission does not approve the Permit. Mr. Rogers stated that this should be mentioned within the
letter proposal from the Association stating that if the permit is not approved, there will be no cost paid by
the county.
Chairman Manwaring stated that he is in favor with proceeding but there needs to be an agreement put in
place between Bingham County and the Eastern Idaho Grazing Association. Commissioner Jackson
concurred.
Decision: Commissioner Jackson moved to approve proceeding with an agreement to be drafted
with the Eastern Idaho Grazing Association for a gravel source on Bruch Creek Road. Chairman
Manwaring seconded.
Commissioner Jackson amended the motion to add that the Reclamation Plan will be under the
name of Bingham County. Chairman Manwaring seconded. Both voted in favor. The motion
carried.
DISCUSSION & DECISION REGARDING COUNTY SURVEYOR POSITION
Present: Tiffany Olsen- Planning & Development Director
Laraine Pope- Human Resource Director
Donavan Harrington- County Assessor
Debbie Cunningham- Chief Deputy Assessor
Wendy Mecham- GIS Manager
Paul Rogers- County Legal Counsel
Dusty Whited- Public Works Director
The Board met to hold discussion and make a decision in regard to the County Surveyor position.
32
April 2026
Commissioner Jackson stated he asked that this item be placed on the agenda for discussion in attempt
to find a solution to not receiving any applications, which caused the job description to be removed from
the available job postings.
Chairman Manwaring stated that there were concerns brought to his attention by Donovan Harrington and
that there may not be a need for a full time Surveyor. Chairman Manwaring stated that the previous
Surveyor assisted many departments with different items. Chairman Manwaring stated that Gwen
Inskeep, previous Surveyor, provided a list of items and percentages in which she assisted other
departments, which was we follows: 40% Planning & Development, 25% Public Works Department, 20%
Assessors Office, 10% County mapping and 5% with miscellaneous items. Chairman Manwaring stated
that she was always busy and many departments relied on her and the County has had a hard time trying
to fill the position.
Commissioner Jackson stated that he would like to gain input from those in attendance as to how the
current services were going through the contract Surveyors. Chairman Manwaring asked why the job
description was pulled from being advertised, wherein Donavan Harrington explained that he had visited
with Human Resources in regard to the fact that there had been no applications received. Mr. Harrington
explained that it was going to be removed for a few weeks and then placed it back for advertisement, but
it was not intended to pull the job description permanently. Mr. Harrington stated when the positions are
up for a long time, they have a tendency to drop to the bottom of the page but if they are refreshed and
replaced, they should return to the top of the job listings online.
Mr. Harrington presented costs that have been expended since the contract Surveyors have been used,
in the amount of $11,735.93 and includes surveys that have been done for Road and Bridge and the City
of Blackfoot for Honeybrook Estates. Mr. Harrington stated that it is six months into the budget year and
from a fiscal responsibility, he does not believe that the county needs a full time Surveyor. Mr. Harrington
stated that he spoke to other County Assessors and some of the larger counties do have a Surveyor but
most of the mid-size counties contract services. Mr. Harrington stated if the County would like to proceed
with the search for a Surveyor, he is not opposed but he is wondering why the county would want to
spend that amount of funding.
Chairman Manwaring stated this has been a good study in doing contracting for six (6) months in order to
track the cost for comparison to having a full time Surveyor. Chairman Manwaring stated in looking
through the provided list of services that have been rendered, it seems there has been one company
completing most of the work. Mr. Harrington explained that there may be some outstanding invoices but
that the rotation ultimately ends up being the responsibility of Planning & Development to rotate the
Surveying Companies, or if that responsibility was accepted in the beginning. Mr. Harrington stated that
the Assessor's Office accepted responsibility because by statute, they are to collect those fees, they have
done their best to track those. Mr. Harrington stated that it does not make financial sense to be doing
what has been occurring in the past.
Dusty Whited, Public Works Director, stated he believes there is neglect and things that are not being
done that have been done in the past, due to the vacancy. Mr. Whited stated that he had an incident
recently and it was decided that a replat was needed instead of vacating property, wherein he sent an
email to one of the two contracted Surveyors and did not receive any response. Therefore, there is a
need for this position and things will start to decline if there is not a County Surveyor.
Tiffany Olsen, Planning & Development Director, stated she agrees with Mr. Whited and that she does
not know how many times each week that her department or Public Works has reached out to the
Surveyor when the county had one, which was almost daily. Ms. Olsen stated that both Planning &
Development and Public Works work closely with the Surveyor position and neither one of them were
advised that the job posting had been taken down and that the contracted work would continue. Ms.
Olsen stated it was almost as if the County should have one on retainer in order to contact if something
comes up.
33
April 2026
Ms. Olsen provided a check list that was made by the previous Surveyor, showing what the county
Surveyor follows when receiving a plat and reviewed the same. Ms. Olsen stated that a lot of these steps
are being completed by Planning & Development but have not happened in the past as they are not their
responsibility. Ms. Olsen stated in the interim process, she had agreed for Planning & Development to
assist with some of these tasks but not for an extended period of time.
Mr. Whited reiterated that when there was a County Surveyor, Public Works/Road and Bridge used that
department often. There are a lot of scenarios wherein it would be nice to have the assistance of a
Surveyor.
Discussion was held with regard to the potential of hiring a part-time individual, wherein all in attendance
were in agreeance. It was stated that the job description would be amended to show that the position
could be either part-time or full-time.
Decision: Commissioner Jensen moved to approve advertising the Surveyor position as part time/
full time to see if that will assist in receiving applicants. Commissioner Jackson seconded. All
voted in favor. The motion carried.

ESTATES SUBDIVISION

PUBLIC WORKS
Present: Dusty Whited- Public Works Director
Troy Lenhart- Road and Bridge Supervisor
Bryon Johnson- City of Basalt
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 Bryon Johnson for county assistance with peeling
back the borrow pits within the City of Basalt. Mr. Johnson stated that he would like to ask the Board for
permission to hire the county at FEMA Rates to assist with draining issues along Goshen Road. He has
spoke with all individuals that would be affected by any work being completed and all were in agreement,
45
April 2026
other than two individuals that would not respond. This would be to grade off or peel back enough from the
borrow pits to allow water to run off, which should only take one day to complete.
The Board was in favor of assisting Basalt with the proposal and came to the conclusion that the fees would
be waived but that Basalt would reimburse the county for cost of fuel.

of Basalt, for the county to assist with a one-day project for peeling back the burrow pits and the
City of Basalt would reimburse for fuel cost. Commissioner Jackson seconded. All voted in favor.
The motion carried.
Next, discussion was held in regard to 1600 W (Little Butte Road), wherein Mr. Whited explained this has
been a road that was removed from the county road maintenance list but was still marked as a County road
and has been since 2019. Mr. Whited stated that he followed up with BLM, who provided a letter that
confirms they maintain this road and that the county has no authorization to the road at all. Therefore, after
review with legal counsel, this matter would not have to go through the vacation process but pursuant to
Idaho Code Section 40-203, Vacation and Abandonment, under (2), it states that no highway or public right-
of-way or parts thereof shall be abandoned and vacated, so as to leave any real property adjoining the
highway or public right-of-way, without access to an established highway. The burden of proof shall be put
on the impacted property owner. Mr. Rogers stated a vacation cannot be done without the notice procedure
and all affected parties coming before the Board for a Public Hearing to establish that they will have access
to the road. Through the vacation process, it is a 30 day public notice process and Bingham County does
not own the road, therefore, he would propose a resolution/declaration be completed to show and clarify
that Bingham County does not have authority to the road and invite landowners or receive a letter stating
that they are comfortable that they have access to the road, a vacation is not needed.
The road is currently marked with a green sign which implies that the road is a county road but if approved
and remain not posted as it is not a private road but only a BLM road.
The Board was in favor and clarify that Lindsey Gluch, Commission Cierk, will mail out notice for the meeting
next week to the pertinent individuals.
Next, discussion was held in regard to the Eastern Idaho Grazing Association allowing Bingham County to
dig and fill test holes at the gravel pit located on Brush Creek. Commissioner Jensen recused himself from
decision due to his involvement with the Eastern Idaho Grazing Association.
Mr. Whited explained that he had spoken with Drew Jensen in regard to allowing the county to dig test
holes and having confirmation from all parties to proceed. Mr. Jensen stated that the Eastern Idaho Grazing
Association is in favor of the county doing so. The holes will be filled after a sample is taken and there will
be no holes left.
Decision: Commissioner Jackson moved to approve and sign the proposed Agreement between
the Eastern Idaho Grazing Association and Bingham County. Chairman Manwaring seconded. Both
voted in favor. The motion carried.

replace the tank and add water softener to assist with the issue. Said quote was in the amount of $5,900.00.

Construction, in the amount of $5,900.00, which is to be paid from Fund: 18-00-499-00.

Reese stated that he spoke with Human Resources in regard to the proposal and she was also in favor.
The part-time mowers for Parks & Recreation and part-time mowers for Road & Bridge are paid different
wages. Mr. Reese stated that his request would be to increase the position for Springfield Park to $18.00
per hour to match what Road & Bridge pays its mowers.
Chairman Manwaring asked Mr. Reese if it would be advantageous to have Moreland and Springfield Parks
added to the rotation with Precision Landscaping, for maintenance. Mr. Reese stated that he would be
happy to obtain a quote on this proposal.
