Oak Mr. Rogers stated that these conditions are now brought up for Public Hearing to receive any potential concerns. Mr. Rogers stated if the Board does not approve the conditions as mediated, this matter will revert back to the original eight (8) conditions put in place and the Judicial Review Process will proceed to District Court. Chairman Manwaring confirmed that there were no questions for Legal Counsel. Matt Parks, Attorney and Representative for Jeff and Julie Krueger, stated the revised conditions are a product of extensive negotiations that included neighboring property owners and Legal Counsel for the 16 May 2026 County, which he believes will expand the operational safeguards previously imposed. Mr. Parks stated this was an attempt to cure the need for any litigation and he is hopeful that is the result today as the conditions address concerns voiced by the neighboring property owners and the Board. Mr. Parks stated that there are now mediated conditions that require a 15-foot vegetation free fire barrier around the berms and target area, there is a separate 30-foot fire barrier around the entire shooting range, direct maintenance access roads, reclamation access requirements and gravel road access approved by the fire department. Mr. Parks stated these conditions now have layered fire protection measures that did not exist in the prior conditions, which is help to the community and to the Krueger's proceeding and being able to meet the conditions. Mr. Parks reiterated that there is vegetation control, emergency access, maintenance access and importantly, ongoing upkeep obligations. Mr. Parks stated in the prior conditions of approval, there were berms required but there were no dimensions and now there will be berms that are 15-feet high, 8—feet wide and 12-feet deep, with additional side berms being installed near the shooting stations. Therefore, the revised conditions moved from general concepts to more detailed dimensional requirements. Mr. Parks stated that he would also like to point out the CUP conditions are enforceable by the County, including any suspension of revocation of there is any violation of conditions. Mr. Parks stated there are conditions that limit the use of property and shooting will be done by appointment only, gated access, perimeter fencing and mandatory NRA Certified Range Safety Officer present during any shooting. There were concerns that the range was going to be an unrestricted public shooting facility, wherein that is not the case. Mr. Parks reiterated that shooting will be done by appointment only. Mr. Parks stated there is mandatory 48-hour notice to be provided to the neighboring property owners prior to any shooting. This will provide the Krueger’s to give sufficient notice rather it be via text message, phone call, or an in person meeting, along with a potential letter being sent to the neighbors advising of any shooting. Mr. Parks stated there were concerns expressed by the neighbors that there is not a lot of specificity in the safety plan but there is now more specificity within the revised conditions, which include a requirement for safety plan prepared and with consultation of an NRA Certified Instructor and an NRA Range Safety Officer to be present during shooting. Again, the mediated resulted in more robust conditions. Mr. Parks stated there were concerns expressed by the neighbors in regard to maintenance obligations and within the revised conditions, there are multiple conditions requiring maintenance and upkeep. There are fire barriers that will be maintained and vegetation free, access roads are required for maintenance and reclamation, along with the berm dimensions being specified within the CUP conditions. Mr. Parks stated there were concerns expressed in regard to this range turning into a commercial or training facility, wherein he believes the conditions that are proposed today are mediated and prohibit public access, the range is by appointment only, safety and supervision is mandatory, and event notice is required. Mr. Parks stated that he believes the concerns of the neighboring property owners have been addressed within the final conditions of approval and if there are any specific issues or concerns that come up during this Public Hearing, those could be addressed. Commissioner Jensen asked for confirmation that there would be periodic maintenance on the berms to keep them up to requirements, wherein Mr. Parks stated that was correct. Mr. Parks stated the requirement is that the berms be of specific dimensions and if they were to fall below those dimensions, that would be a violation of the CUP and therefore, the berms would need to meet requirements at all times. Mr. Parks stated that the Applicants are committed to making sure the berms are well kept and there should be no issues moving forward. Chairman Manwaring opened the Public Hearing at this time. May 2026 Chairman Manwaring asked for testimony in favor of the Application, wherein there was none. Chairman Manwaring asked for testimony in neutral of the Application, wherein there was none. Chairman Manwaring asked for testimony in opposition, which was received as follows: Paul Rogers, County Legal Counsel, stated that testimony in opposition was received prior to the Public Hearing, which area as follows and will be attached to this decision as exhibited: Pershon Farms, LLC, Steve Perschon, Sandy Perschon, Patrick Adams, Alycia Perschon Adams and Bailey Perschon, who are in opposition of the CUP Conditions (Exhibit M-1, as attached). Charlie Cook, Barry Sorrensen, Jason & Rachel Cook, and Andrew (Ace) and Gillian Cook, who are in opposition of the CUP Conditions (Exhibit M-2, as attached). Mr. Rogers asked for confirmation that the Board has received and reviewed the submitted testimony, to which the Board confirmed. Testimony in opposition received during the Public Hearing was as follows: Patrick Adams, 281 N. 1100 W., Blackfoot, Idaho (Exhibit M-3), stated that he is part of SS Perschon Farms and read that he feels that the Conditional Use Permit does not go far enough to protect them. It has been granted despite the evidence given by neighboring landowners and established standards of testing and safety measures are largely ignored. These requirements established are inadequate and are not in line with the best practice and standards. The NRA Range Source Book recommends a 20-foot tall backstop with no rocks or hard surfaces within 18 to 24 inches of the surface of the backstop, 8-foot tall berms for ricochet abatement to the sides of targets where adjoining properties in close proximity and 95% compaction of soil on the berms and backstops. Mr. Adams stated that the Department of the Army Range Safety Pamphlet establishes surface danger zones for ricochets off of earth and water for 5.56 millimeters or 223 rifle round. If a ricochet goes in line of trajectory that is over 2,000 meters. If it goes laterally from initial trajectory, it is over 450 meters vertically over 300 meters. For a 300 win mag, if it goes in line with the initial trajectory after ricochet, 4,880 meters, 435 meters laterally or 433 meters vertically. This shows that neighboring properties are well within established danger zones for ricochets. Mr. Adams stated that a neighbor informed him that in an instance several years ago, in Bingham County, where a 223 round ricochetted off of the ground and traveled over one (1) mile and was documented and measured. Mr. Adams stated that there is a neighbor % mile away from his property, that fired a 223 in their backyard at what they thought was an adequate berm, which was not and a ricochet hit a home that was over % mile from them. Mr. Adams stated the property owned by Jeff and Julie Krueger is covered in lava rocks providing perfect opportunity for the slightest errant shot to ricochet in any direction. Mr. Adams spoke with Sarah VanAcker, Idaho Fish and Game Official who runs their gun ranges and is also a long range shooter, who stated their standards are to follow the NRA Range Source Book. They do not have any final berms that are less than 20-feet and most are over 20 feet. Their sound testing is done over four (4) hours on their busiest day by a contractor, and they have daily inspections/repairs. Ms. VanAcker stated, “| would never want to be behind this range or any range. | do not care how tall the backstop is. It could be a skyscraper, and | would not want to be there”. Mr. Adams stated that Idaho Fish and Game uses state mandated and NRA standards for their ranges. There is a literal multitude of opportunities for error and malfunction, and it is not unreasonable to hold this range to the same standards that the state uses. The loss of equity and property values for neighboring properties will add up to a very substantial dollar amount. According to the values of similar properties and 18 May 2026 neighboring properties, that dry desert ground for pasture is worth approximately $1,000 per acre and the farm ground is worth approximately $8,000 per acre. Mr. Adams stated that he assigned each home in the adjoining four properties to $300,000 each and added $200,000 total for their outbuildings. The loss of value between 3.7% to 6%, would be a total of $323,523 to $524,632 of value lost by the neighboring properties. Mr. Adams stated as far as maintenance mentioned, who would be checking those standards and what recourse is there when those standards are not met? Additionally, what types of ammunition will be allowed? Mr. Adams stated that Mr. Krueger claims this will be a private range, however, he is in fact selling access to this range as a commercial enterprise and therefore, it is a business proposition. Mr. Adams stated he has no issues with him shooting on his property so long as his bullets stay on his side. However, the commercial nature of his planned business could result in thousands of rounds going down range over a short time period, increasing risk. Mr. Adams stated the arbitrary number of shooters, whereat Mr. Krueger must notify his neighbors, is a poor stand in for the number of rounds being sent down range. Mr. Adams asked that this CUP be altered so that neighbors are notified of any event, as they will have to alter when and how they can maintain fences, work will cattle and recreate on their own property. Mr. Adams stated how is this not changing the established character of the surrounding properties and granting the CUP because others are shooting here is illogical. The surrounding landowners shoot much less than a year, than one single shooter at one single long range clinic will shoot. Mr. Krueger informed Mr. Adams that each one of those individuals will shoot approximately 200 rounds. Additionally, members of the public that are shooting in the area are most often trespassing. Is this granted because of others doing illegal activities where they are not welcome? Is this range a permanent fixture that can then be sold when the Krueger's decide it is time to move? Mr. Adams asked what would this open the door for and what do they have to look forward to and pass down to their kids? Additionally, Mr. Adams stated that the CUP is relying on the honor system with no established recourse. Mr. Adams stated that Mr. Krueger has not engendered any trust with them as neighbors and he stated to Mr. Adams personally that he wanted to invite them out to the property last August to see what he had planned in order to understand what would be occurring but that never occurred. Mr. Adams stated in conclusion, he would like to urge the Board to protect his private property rights, values and safety, considering the significant evidence presented as to why the property is not suitable for such an undertaking. He fears that the County has not performed its due diligence in research and the feasibility of a long range rifle range on the property being considered and is therefore, opening the county to significant liability. Mr. Adams stated that he would ask the Board to please take meaningful action. The Board had no questions for Mr. Adams. James Goodrich, 1676 W. 700 N., Blackfoot, Idaho (M-4) stated that he has reviewed the berm information and has spoken with Mr. Krueger in regard to the pistol activity that he plans to conduct. Mr. Goodrich stated that his main concern is that his property is approximately 250 yards from the range and he is not sure if there will be tactical shooting that will occur and putting a berm close to his home is concerning. Therefore, having strict berm conditions would be beneficial. Chairman Manwaring asked what direction his home is located in proximity to the range, wherein Mr. Goodrich stated his home is directly south and that he shares an easement with Mr. Krueger. The Board had no questions for Mr. Goodrich. Ace Cook (1616 W. 700 N., Blackfoot, Idaho (M-5) stated that he would like to address the Board as neighbors in Bingham County and men of agriculture. Mr. Cook stated that he and his wife barely made this meeting because of what their duties are. Mr. Cook stated that it has been 24 years since he purchased his property as a ranch with farm ground and he has worked hard to bring value to the property and raise a family including grandkids. Mr. Cook stated that this morning he fed and tagged calves all morning and 19 May 2026 all down the fenceline there are cows that will stash calves in the sagebrush. Mr. Cook stated there are kids in the fields, they have work to do and if the Board understands agriculture, there is no timeline and there is no 9-5. Mr. Cook stated that he and his family have paid into the tax base for almost 24 years and have loved living where they live. Mr. Cook stated that he cannot see how this will not change how he operates his farm as he and his family will be the ones at risk and in front of the gun. This will affect how he operates his farm, how it is enjoyed and what they do. Mr. Cook stated that he understands that people are trying to come together, that there is notice to be provided and things like that but he does not have 48 hours or 3- 5 days, as this is his livelihood and he has to be there. Mr. Cook stated that it is hard for him to understand why they are obligated to donate property value to a hobby or a passion, as again this is his livelinood, and they are in the business of keeping things alive and feeding America. Mr. Cook stated that he does not have anything against anyone’s hobby or passion, but this is agriculture country and they continue to keep that. Mr. Cook stated that he would appreciate it if the Board helped to regulate the CUP as much as possible, as he would like to hold onto what he does have. Mr. Cook stated it is his responsibility as a husband, father and grandfather, to do stand up for what they have. Chairman Manwaring asked Mr. Cook how long his cows and calves are in the particular area, wherein Mr. Cook stated they are there until the middle of June, depending on the year, some years when the bulls are bad, they will bring cattle in but usually they are there until the middle of June and then anywhere from the middle of September they are weaning the calves and there will be bulls there when the calves are being pulled. Chairman Manwaring stated that is why he originally mentioned when the livestock are present, shooting should not occur and when the livestock are not present, that is when shooting should be occurring. Chairman Manwaring stated that both parties need to understand and realize the importance of that. Mr. Cook stated it is more of a ranch than a farm and it is a controlled community. Mr. Cook stated the only shots that he has fired was two shots within the last 365 days and that was two coyotes that were eating a calf that they had killed in the Spring. During the Planning & Zoning Commission Public Hearing, it was perceived that the area around his home has a lot of shooting and that is not accurate. Commissioner Jensen asked Mr. Cook where his property is located in proximity to the subject property, wherein Mr. Cook stated that his property is located to the East and the Perschon’s are located to the North. Gillian Cook, 1616 W. 700 N., Blackfoot, Idaho (M-6) stated that she has lived and raised her family on her property for 24 years. Ms. Cook stated that they have raised 5 children on the property and one of the things that they really like to do during the summertime is to ride through the field and pivots on four-wheelers. In an effort to teach their children the value of hard work, they would skirt the fence line and check to be sure everything is maintained. Ms. Cook stated that she has had sons and daughters that are in equipment, on four-wheelers and on foot, in order to maintain fence, checking pivots and checking on animals. Ms. Cook stated that she is now a grandmother of 4 and has had her grandsons out on the property to pick rocks after harrowing. Ms. Cook stated it is really concerning to think about safety and that things may happen that are out of your control, which is scary. Ms. Cook stated that she would like to be able to enjoy what they have built. She knows how hard they have worked to keep their property maintained and valuable and it would be hard to swallow, having someone come and take a chunk of it away does not feel good. Ms. Cook stated that she has not felt heard and it was a slap in the face that the CUP was passed. The Board had no questions for Ms. Cook. Chairman Manwaring confirmed there was no further testimony in opposition. Matt Parks, Applicant's Attorney, presented a rebuttal statement and stated that he would like to thank those that provided testimony and believes they have certainly been emotionally invested with good reason. Mr. Parks stated that he would like to discuss the conditions of approval that will address those concerns. Mr. Parks stated that the berms do have dimensions and locations and that he would like to point to the statement from Corporal VanOrden, Bingham County Sheriffs Office (Exhibit A-6, within the initial Application) which indicates that he felt that, if done correctly, the proposed shooting range would be safe and feasible in its proposed location. Mr. parks stated with the conditions of approval that have been agreed upon to address the dimensions of the berms and fire protection, they are addressing safety concerns. 20 May 2026 Mr. Parks referred to the concern in regard to property values and usually in a situation such as this, the studies that are referenced are for residential properties not in a rural setting. Mr. Park stated that he does not want to say that there will not be an impact or potential impact due to gun range but, in this situation, the studies do not indicate that there will be impact on agriculture properties. Mr. Parks referred to testimony from Ms. Cook concerning safety, he would like to emphasize the berm requirements to be maintained. Generally, Mr. Park would like to emphasize that the Krueger’s are going to be good neighbors and will be accessible if there are concerns or issues from the neighbors. Mr. Parks stated that he is sure that any reasonable request could be accommodated by the neighbors, if there are other safety concerns or something that could be dealt with. There were no questions for Mr. Parks, and the Public Hearing was closed to any further testimony. Paul Rogers, County Legal Counsel, stated that he would like to clarify that today is for mediation and under Idaho Code 67-6511, which assisted through this mediation process, as this has been new to Bingham County. Mr. Rogers stated that the original permit is not up for discussion today, but what is up for discussion today is the 12 conditions that were set on the permit. Mr. Rogers stated if the Board chooses to not approve the conditions as proposed and discussed, the Krueger’s have the authority to proceed with Judicial Review. If the Board denies the conditions as proposed today, the permit is still granted but would revert to the original 8 conditions that were approved in December 2025. Commissioner Jackson asked if the Board could place new conditions, wherein Mr. Rogers explained that the conditions that were proposed can be modified but if the Krueger's do not agree with the modifications, they have the right to proceed with Judicial Review, which is filed within District Court. Mr. Rogers stated that the Board can deny the new conditions that were discussed during mediation and they would revert back to the 8 original conditions, the Board can approve the new 12 conditions as discussed with the Applicant's, or the Board can have a discussion regarding modifications. If modifications are made, this will allow the Krueger's to proceed with Judicial Review, if they do not agree. The Boards deliberation was held as follows: Chairman Manwaring reiterated that all 3 Commissioners approved and signed off on the 12 modified conditions that have been discussed today. Chairman Manwaring stated that it is possible after a decision is made, that he starts thinking about other issues that could arise and amendments might be made, as the Board represents the entire County and try to make the decision based on both sides. Commissioner Jensen stated that he appreciates Mr. Palmers testimony in regard to the state standard for a shooting range and that he also was touched by the testimony provided. Commissioner Jensen stated that he would agree with the state standards and that he would like to put it on the record that if he could overturn the decision, he would deny the Application, but he understands that the Board is not in that position to do so. Therefore, if the Board does proceed, he believes that state standards should be implemented. Commissioner Jensen stated as he reviewed the submitted testimony and heard the testimony provided today, it has become clear to him that the ricocheting is concerning. Commissioner Jackson stated in light of the testimony provided today, he wishes that this information regarding ricocheting would have been presented earlier and stated to him, this is new evidence being received. Mr. Rogers stated that this process is interesting as the testimony that was limited is in regard to the newly modified 12 conditions. Mr. Rogers stated that all testimony that should be considered today is how the testimony plays into the new 12 conditions. Mr. Rogers stated the ricocheting information can be accepted as it seems to coincide with the conditions but there could be reasons why it does not play into the conditions. Mr. Rogers stated that the ricocheting information does seem like new information and he is not sure where it is coming from, as he has not been able to review the source of the information. 21 May 2026 Commissioner Jackson stated in light of the evidence and testimony presented today, the Board is light on the berm requirements that have been put in place, and he feels that they do not meet the standard that has been presented as the standard of a high power shooting range, to protect the citizens of Bingham County. Mr. Rogers stated that the Board should hold a discussion and if in agreeance, the Board could modify the conditions. Chairman Manwaring referred to Condition #11, which addresses the height and width of the berms and the Board could modify if in agreeance and the Krueger’s will have the right to appeal to Judicial Review. Commissioner Jackson stated that it seems to him there is a certain standard as far as compaction, height, width and length of berms and there have been studies conducted in regard to protecting bullets from going out of the area, of standards are followed. Commissioner Jackson stated that the state standards should be reviewed. Chairman Manwaring stated that the Krueger's proposed to extend the berm 50-feet back toward the targets, as that was originally not in the conditions. Chairman Manwaring stated that he recalls at the beginning of the Application, that he brought up the fact that there should be a berm on the back in order for protection. Chairman Manwaring stated that he now feels that the berm should be higher and it is a concern that the berms will weather and deteriorate. Chairman Manwaring stated that the requirement of the berm is to be checked by Planning & Development/Code Enforcement, to be sure all requirements are being made, or the CUP could be revoked. Commission Jensen stated in listening to Mr. Palmer’s testimony, it was brought to his attention that cleaning of the rocks out of the area to be shot towards and this should be potential for adding a condition that rocks should be cleaned up and compacted to withstand the blows of the shells. Chairman Manwaring stated that this is a controlled environment, but he has been around bullets that ricochet, so he understands the concern. Commissioner Jackson reviewed Condition #5, which states the furthest berm from the shooting area shall be 15-feet high, 80-feet wide and 12-feet deep, wherein he would like to modify to state that the berms shall be constructed/free of any gravel or rock material. Chairman Manwaring referred to the 15-feet high portion and that he would recommend modifying to change the height to 20-feet high (to reflect state standards), along with being compacted and rock free. Commissioner Jackson and Commissioner Jensen were both in favor of the proposed modification. Chairman Manwaring referred to Condition #12, wherein the Krueger’s are to notify the neighbors of any events with 5 or more participants, but he would propose modifying to add that the neighbors should notify the Krueger's when calving season and when cattle will be moved to the mountain range from year to year. This will allow both parties to work together as both parties have property rights. Commissioner Jackson and Commissioner Jensen were in favor of the proposed modification. Commissioner Jensen stated one more thing that he has thought about is removing rocks from between the targets so as to lessen the chance of ricocheting. Commissioner Jackson stated he would agree and that is an important concept also. Mr. Rogers stated it was mentioned that Conditional Use Permits run normally with the property and if modifications are made, one thing that could be considered is if the permit runs with the property or does it run with the property owner and if the property changes ownership, would the Conditional Use Permit stay. Chairman Manwaring asked Tiffany Olsen, Planning & Development Director, if the property ownership changes, does the Conditional Use Permit remain with the property or does the new property owner have to apply for the same Conditional Use Permit. Ms. Olsen referred to Bingham County Code Title 10, Chapter 22 May 2026 8, wherein the permit is allowed to remain with the land as long as the new landowner operates the land use and abides by the same conditions that were originally placed with the Conditional Use Permit. Chairman Manwaring reviewed the proposed modified conditions, and discussion was held as follows: Condition 1: The Applicant shall install a fire barrier around the berms and the target areas to further reduce the risk of fire. This fire barrier shall be a vegetative free area surrounding any berms and target areas that are 15 feet wide. Chemical treatment or heavy machinery may be used as needed to maintain this fire barrier. Chairman Manwaring stated the original Application mentioned planting wheat grass, but he would prefer to see something chemically used or disked to keep vegetation down. Commissioner Jackson and Commissioner Jensen agreed. Condition 2: The Applicant shall install and maintain a 30-foot wide fire barrier surrounding the perimeter of the shooting range. This fire barrier shall be vegetative free. Chemical treatment or heavy machinery may be used as needed to maintain this fire barrier. All three Commissioners were in favor. Condition 3: The Applicant shall install a direct road with a minimum width of 8 feet to access the berms and target areas for maintenance and upkeep of the target areas, berms and lead reclamation. Chairman Manwaring stated within the plan, the Applicant stated that the lead will be removed every so many years. Commissioner Jackson and Commissioner Jensen had nothing further to add. Condition 4: The targets shall be outside the floodplain. All three Commissioners were in favor. Condition 5: The furthest berm from the shooting area shall be 15-feet high, 80-feet wide and 12-feet deep. All three Commissioners were in favor of modifying the condition from 15-foot high to 20-foot high and to be sure that the berms are rock free. Mr. Rogers added that he had the note that the area should be compacted. Commissioner Jackson stated that there was also discussion about that there be no rocks through the shooting range. All Commissioners were in favor. Condition 6: The perimeter of the property shall be fenced with signage installed and the fence shall be a minimum of a three-wire fence. Additionally, the shooting range shall be gated and signed, and the gate shall remain closed also during operation. Chairman Manwaring stated that there should be verbiage added to state that the fence and gate should remain maintained. All Commissioners were in favor. Discussion was held in regard to adding a potential condition stating that Permit Holder is required to send in confirmation by way of photographs to the Code Enforcement Department, that berms are maintained to proper height and width requirements. Commissioner Jackson stated that he would rather have a Code Enforcement Officer from the County, to go view the property to be sure requirements are met, as photographs can be altered to appear in a different way. Chairman Manwaring stated that providing photographs would keep the Permit Holder in compliance but there will also be a Code Enforcement Office that will be looking at the property. All Commissioners were in agreeance. Mr. Rogers reiterated that if the suggestion is in regard to Code Enforcement, that does not need to be a condition placed as the Permit Holder is already restricted and required to have maintenance and anything there is an issue, they could be sited or the CUP may be revoked. Chairman Manwaring stated that he would not have an issue stating 23 May 2026 that he would not be opposed to adding verbiage that the County will view the property every two (2) years. Mr. Rogers stated that is up to the County and is completed anyway. Therefore, it does not need to be placed as an actual condition on the CUP. Condition 7: The range not be open to the public but by appointment only. All Commissioners were in favor. Condition 8: The Applicant shall prepare a safety plan that addresses emergencies and safety related rules and regulations for the operation of the shooting range in consultation with an NRA Certified Instructor and Range Safety Officer. All Commissioners were in favor. Condition 9: A Certified NRA Range Safety Officer shall be present at all times shooting is conducted at the range. All Commissioners were in favor. Condition 10: The Applicant shall install a 20-foot wide gravel road from the entrance to the subject property to the shooting stations with a turn-around approved by the fire department. All Commissioners were in favor. Condition 11: The Applicant shall construct a 5-foot high and 8-foot wide berm commencing from the shooting station extending 50 feet back toward the targets. All Commissioners were in favor. Chairman Manwaring stated that the Applicant’s had added this condition, which is great for safety. Condition 12: In the event there are events with 5 or more participants (not including spectators or non- shooters) on a particular date, the Applicant shall provide 48-hour notice to neighboring property owners within 300 feet of the property. This notice can be provided by either United States Priority Mail with delivery confirmation, email, personal delivery, text message, or a phone call. The required notice must be delivered to and received by the neighbors at least 48 hours in advance. All Commissioners were in favor. Chairman Manwaring stated that he would like to add that the surrounding property owners notify the Krueger's of any calving or cow operations and when they move them away from the property, to allow shooting to occur. Chairman Manwaring stated that there should not be any shooting occurring going on during the calving or cow operation time as it can be hard on the livestock. Mr. Rogers stated that another condition should be added for this item, which will be as follows: Condition 13: Neighboring property owners are to notify the Permit Holder year to year in regard to the dates and timeframe for moving cow and calf pairs onto the summer pasture after calving, as shooting should not occur during that stressful time for livestock. Condition 14: This permit specifically runs with the property owners and not with the property. If property ownership changes and is no longer owned by the Krueger’s, the new property owner will be required to apply for a new Conditional Use Permit. Chairman Manwaring asked Commissioner Jackson and Commissioner Jensen if they were in favor of the modifications as discussed, to which both confirmed. 24 May 2026 Mr. Rogers reviewed the timeframe for Judicial Review filing, which is up to 28 days after signing of the Reason & Decision. The affected parties that are affected by the permit, time has passed under code for proceeding to Judicial Review. This is not clear in code but believes they would be able to file litigation on the new conditions, but it would be limited to the new conditions only. Mr. Rogers stated this would go through the District Court and the Krueger's and Mr. Parks have a timeframe for Judicial Review which will be up to 28 days after signing of the Reason & Decision. Commissioner Jensen asked if the appealing party has the same opportunity, to which Mr. Rogers stated they would but for only the conditions and the Krueger's would have the opportunity for the entire permit. Mr. Parks asked for clarification in regard to Condition 13 and that this would be that the neighboring property owners will, year to year, notify the Krueger's of the dates in which cattle will be moved onto the range after calving or summer pasturing. Mr. Parks stated that he is not sure about the timeframe and asked if the intent was that entire summer pasturing would be no shooting allowed or is it just during the time in which cattle are being moved to and from the location. Chairman Manwaring stated that the cattle would not be located around the property for approximately five (5) months but year to year can change depending on mother nature. Commissioner Jensen stated normally it is March 1% through June 1s, when they go to summer pasture and he believes the intent was that timeframe. Commissioner Jensen stated that the cattle will be going through the birthing process and there is high activity labor wise with the Cook’s and the Perschon’s during this timeframe, which puts them at peril. Commissioner Jensen stated in order to protect all of the parties and cattle through the calving process. Mr. Rogers stated that it seems that those dates could fluctuate year to year and that is why notice would be beneficial to know what the expectation is from the neighboring property owners. Mr. Parks asked for clarification and if the modification to the berms was to the sides of the berms, but Chairman Manwaring confirmed that the modification was only to the height of the berms. Chairman Manwaring entertained a motion. DECISION Commissioner Jensen moved to approve the Applicant’s reconsideration of the conditions that were placed, along with the additions, which were as follows: 1) The Applicant shall install a fire barrier around the berms and the target areas to further reduce the risk of fire. This fire barrier shall be a vegetative free area surrounding any berms and target areas that are 15 feet wide. Chemical treatment or heavy machinery may be used as needed to maintain this fire barrier. 2) The Applicant shall install and maintain a 30-foot wide fire barrier surrounding the perimeter of the shooting range.

APPROVAL & SIGNING OF LEASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN BINGHAM COUNTY & BRUCE LAKE Present: Paul Rogers- County Legal Counsel The Board met to approve and sign the Lease Agreement between Bingham County and Bruce Lake for the county owned property that is located by the Central Transfer Station (Township 2 South, Range 34 East, Section 24). Chairman Manwaring gave a background on the property and stated that the county has a berm for a setback for the Central Transfer Station. The Lakes have a holding tank that would leach down into the gravel pit. Chairman Manwaring looked into the potential of selling the property but found that could not be done as it was used as a buffer zone and it was decided that the county should maintain ownership. Chairman Manwaring stated last year, the Lakes pulled so much manure out of the pens that it was stockpiled on the county property. The Lakes will bring in machinery to remove rock and aerate, which brought up the discussion of potentially leasing the property to the Lakes for their use. Chairman Manwaring stated that Legal Counsel worked with Mr. Lake to come up with an agreement for a five (5) year lease at $1.00 per year so that the county was not held liable with the Lakes equipment or workers. Decision: Commissioner Jackson moved to approve and sign the Lease Agreement with Bruce Lake for $1.00 per year, for five (5) years, for the county owned property close to the landfill as described. Commissioner Jensen seconded. All voted in favor. The motion carried. 26 May 2026 DISCUSSION & DECISION REGARDING COUNTY LIEN ON PROPERTY LISTED WITHIN CASE NO.

Mr. Rogers stated the new property owners are asking the county to release the lien on the property so that they can proceed forward without any interference. The new property owners are trying to clear the title in order to do so and therefore, the request is for a Release of Lien to be signed.

The Application met the requirements of Bingham County Code Section 10-6-6(B)(5), as the proposed lots exceed the 1-acre minimum allowed for in a “M1” zone with individual culinary wells, septic systems, and drainfields on each lot; and 5. Thecost of connection to the Groveland Water and Sewer District would not be feasible for a 3-Lot subdivision and agreed that development should be allowed to proceed with individual septic systems on each lot, as proposed by the Applicant; and 6. Adequate access to all lots will be extended from 100 N. Pioneer Road via a new private road with proper permitting from the Bingham County Public Works Department; and 7. Lots are located within the United Canal Company using the Clark Lateral, with adequate water shares to deliver irrigation to each lot. The existing open irrigation ditch will be relocated along the west boundary, and a new ditch will be built along the north and east boundaries to serve Lot 3. Approval was obtained from the United Canal Company and from the downstream water users, as 44 May 2026 shown in Exhibit A-9A. The Board found that from the Application details, the property owner will retain all 15 water shares, and a Water Users Agreement will be recorded to govern irrigation for all lots; and 8. The proposed subdivision is considered to be consistent with the Bingham County Comprehensive Plan, as the area is designated as Industrial/Commercial, which supports the Light Manufacturing Zoning District. Chairman Manwaring stated the proposed use fits the surrounding properties and there was no testimony received in opposition or Neutral, at the Planning & Zoning Commission Public Hearing. Commissioner Jackson and Commissioner Jensen both agreed and has no concerns in regard to the Application. DECISION Commissioner Jensen moved to uphold the Planning & Zoning Commission’s recommendation to approve the Elevated Business Park Subdivision and approve the development, located west and northwest of 624 W 100 N, Blackfoot, Idaho, on approx. 5.99 acres, as proposed by Property Owner/Applicant, High Tech Comfort, LLC.

Discussion was held in regard to the request submitted by Caden Fuhriman, Eagle Rock Engineering, in regard to North River Estates Subdivision testing proposal. Mr. Whited stated that a work session was held last week in regard to the proposal and there were a few items that he was not in favor of and would like to decline the proposal due to reporting sections 2, 3, and 3A which have to do with rounding and reporting to the nearest whole number and the second is for a 1 %% variance to the testing. Mr. Whited stated that he does not believe that the county should be accepting any numbers that do not meet minimum standards. Mr. Whited stated that even if there is a variance in testing going down instead of coming up, it is expected to see the majority of the test results still above the minimum of 95%. Mr. Whited spoke with another engineer who stated that he did not feel that the county should accept the proposal and should hold to the 95% requirement. Curtis Johnson, Rockwell Homes, stated that he agrees that 95% compaction should be met and if under that requirement, there will be settling. Mr. Johnson stated that he is proposing that they believe the test will be at 95% but results will show a little less but really would be above the requirement. Mr. Johnson stated that he has spoken with several entities since the last meeting and every single person stated that they have had this occurrence and the county/city have been great to work with and understand that there will be a tolerance of the 1 1/2%. Mr. Johnson stated that some said there has been up to 3%. Mr. Johnson stated that he is not saying the results are less than 95% but that there will be settling and there may be tests come in at 93% but there should be some tolerance as to what that affect was when reverse digging. Mr. Johnson stated that he is not trying to get away with anything or leave the county with an inferior product that will fade over time and cause issues. Mr. Johnson stated that he does not wand to go through all of the time, money and effort, for a few of the results not to meet requirements and it is not accepted. Mr. Johnson stated that he cannot feel confident in proceeding with this testing with the conversations that have been held with Mr. Whited because he has been hard pressed at 95%. Mr. Johnson stated that he believes there will be testing that comes in at 94% because during the testing it was disturbed. Mr. Johnson stated that he asked HLE to attend this meeting as the County has referred to them several times during this process and therefore, he would ask that HLE conduct the testing. Chairman Manwaring stated when Mr. Johnson initially met with the Board, it was stated that there was testing done and the results were below the 95%, which is something that caught his attention. Chairman Manwaring stated that he feels there are concerns that the further results will not meet requirements. Mr. Johnson stated that he agrees but the road was tested in reverse and the road could hit 95% but in retesting there will be a minimal decrease in percentage. Mr. Johnson stated there were some results showing 94% and 95%. Mr. Johnson stated that Rockwell Homes is willing to bond the road in case there are any issues because that is how confident he is. Mr. Whited stated there is a risk of accepting the roads if the county does not know if standards have been met. Mr. Johnson stated it does not make sense to put forth the money if there is zero tolerance in the test results, when he knows for a fact that there will be some disturbance because of the reverse testing. Luke Jolley, HLE, explained that settling from the trench is more often seen is because outside of the trench, anything below subgrade, is at negative compaction. Mr. Jolley stated there was a trench down from 51 May 2026 Melaleuca on 65" South that there were test results from a lift station to the offramp for sewer and that first spring it settled and those were all above 95% but after that first frost thaw, it stopped and came back up. Mr. Jolley stated that settling happens around manholes is because most times people do not do compaction tests surrounding the manholes and less effort is put in by the contractor around those areas. Mr. Jolley stated for that reason, HLE has a standard to test close to the manholes to be certain. Chairman Manwaring asked Mr. Jolley if the type of soil affects the compaction, wherein Mr. Jolley stated the type of soil can affect compaction. Chairman Manwaring asked if every engineering firm has the same type of testing, wherein Mr. Jolley explained there would be a little bit of a variance but not much. Mr. Jolley stated the biggest thing in regard to this subdivision is that there is gravely soil and silty soil on top and when it gets excavated out, if they do not separate the two soils, it gets mixed. Commissioner Jensen asked Mr. Jolley for his opinion in regard to testing from the ground up and testing from the top to the bottom. Mr. Jolley explained that the soil could be disturbed but there are ways during the testing could be mitigated. Mr. Whited again voiced his concerns about the standard and requirements not being met and it is the responsibility of Rockwell Homes to prove now that the 95% can be met as they continued with the road without the proper inspections and testing. Mr. Whited reiterated that whatever the test results may be, he does not make the final decision, but the decision is made by the Board of County Commissioners to accept the road. Commissioner Jackson stated that Mr. Whited has spoken to qualified individuals that deal with this for a living and therefore, he would follow the recommendations provided by Mr. Whited and see what the results of testing may be in order to proceed. Mr. Whited stated in the documentation provided, there was a test that failed at a certain station, and it was stated that they added water because the moisture percentage went from 4.3% to 5.9%, re-compacted and the compaction went to 96.2%. In a normal situation, they should not be allowed to go to the next phase of testing until that step passes. Commissioner Jensen stated if the Board made the decision to allow a variance, that would set a precedence for the future and there would be others requesting the same. Therefore, he believes that the county should be consistent with its requirements. Mr. Whited also proposed having HLE conduct the testing. The Board concurred. Chairman Manwaring stated that it is hard for the Board to make a decision to accept the road when the results are unknown. Therefore, he would like to see the results from the testing. Commissioner Jackson asked Mr. Whited if he had put together an estimate of how much time and money this has cost the citizens of Bingham County to try to fix this issue. Mr. Whited stated that it would be substantial, but he has no calculated amounts. Mr. Whited stated costs that the county has paid for an engineer's opinion alone are approximately $3,000.00, which does not include time/salaries. Commissioner Jackson asked Mr. Johnson how long Rockwell Homes has been in business, wherein Mr. Johnson stated they have been in business for almost 30 years. Commissioner Jackson asked if this was the first time that this issue had occurred, wherein Mr. Johnson stated that was correct. Commissioner Jackson asked Mr. Johnson if his company had reviewed how this mistake occurred, wherein Mr. Johnson confirmed and stated that discussion was held with all parties involved. Mr. Whited stated that he would propose to exclude proposal numbers 2, 3 and 3A, which are located under Reporting within the provided proposal. Discussion was held in regard to the potential of the road becoming a private road, if and when the Board does not accept the road to be county. Ms. Olsen stated that Bingham County Code only allows for 4 residences on a private road but that the Board could make an exception and allow, due to the roads not 52 May 2026 benefiting the county to maintain. Ms. Olsen reiterated that in the event the testing is not supported by Public Works, the Board could approve and allow a private road plat without having to hold another meeting before the Board. Chairman Manwaring stated that his proposal would be to proceed with testing and if the results do not meet requirements, allow the subdivision to proceed with a private road. Chairman Manwaring mentioned allowing Rockwell Homes to provide a 10 year bond or guarantee and if there were any future issues with the road, they would split cost with the county to repair the road. Mr. Whited stated that could be an option if most of the samples passed but a few did not. Mr. Whited stated that he would agree with Mr. Johnson that it is in anybody's best interest for the road to be a private road nor is it in anybody's best interest if it is private without any testing done, as it would still come before the Planning & Zoning Commission and Board, for a decision to be made on a road there is no information on. Mr. Whited stated that the testing is vital and after the test results are seen, can work together to come up with a plan to proceed. Chairman Manwaring stated that if some of the test results are no less than 1.5% below requirements, a guarantee is received that they will assist with repairs to the road. Especially where the road was placed so long ago and the testing is being done backwards, that is why he is proposing this solution. It would be different if it occurred only a few months ago. Commissioner Jackson concurred and stated if the road was not built right, testing will show. Commissioner Jackson stated if some results come back higher, to show that they were above standard, he be in favor of taking that into consideration. Commissioner Jensen stated that he understands that with the loss of the moisture, the variance needs to be taken into consideration. Decision: Commissioner Jensen moved to approve the North River Estates testing proposal, except for change on reporting number 2, to the 10" percentage point, number 3A to 1 1/2% variance and addition of number 4, to have a 10 year bond in place to cover costs if the road has issues or there are repairs needed. Commissioner Jackson seconded. Commissioner Jensen moved to amend his motion to add that if the testing fails, North River Estates has the ability to go to a private road. Commissioner Jackson seconded. All voted in favor. The motion carried. Discussion was held in regard to the submitted prior approval for purchase of 12 tires for equipment. Said purchase is in the amount of $2,621.76, which is to be paid from Fund: 02-47-473-01. Decision: Commissioner Jackson moved to approve the prior approval for purchase of 12 tires for equipment.

However, there have only been two applications from individuals that reside in Commission District 3.

The two applicants are Shandale Bautista and Earl Preston. Ms. Olsen stated that Ms. Bautista attended a Planning & Zoning Commission Public Hearing and was really enthralled by the meeting. Ms. Bautista mentioned to Planning & Development staff that she would be interested in serving on the Commission and asked how the mechanics of the Commission work.

Ms. Bautista submitted her application, which has been provided to the Board for consideration. Within her application, she states that she cares about the growth and future growth of development in the community, understands the balance of responsible growth while preserving character, safety and long term values. Ms. Bautista is located within Commission District 3. Ms. Olsen presented the application submitted by Earl Preston who also applied for the Planning & Zoning Commission and stated that he is also located within Commission District 3. Mr. Preston has applied previously and still has interest in serving. Mr. Preston is self employed and owns Rocky Mountain Inspections and states that he would like to give back to the community and benefit others. Chairman Manwaring stated that Mr. Preston currently has a property lease agreement with the county and that could potentially cause a conflict. Chairman Manwaring stated that it is nice to have some diversity on 64 May 2026 the Commission with both male and female members. Chairman Manwaring stated that he is impressed with Ms. Bautista and her reasoning for wanting to serve on the Commission. Commissioner Jensen and Commissioner Jackson both agreed that they would be in favor of appointing Ms. Bautista according to her resume and application.
