that the property is currently under construction and according to a decision by the Idaho Supreme
Court, the property does not qualify while it is under construction even though the end use will be
a charitable use. The property use is looked at as of January 1, 2026 per state code and per state
code the property must be actively used for the exempt purpose at the time it is considered. Mr.
Wills noted that Legal did review the exemption application and gave guidance that it did not meet
the exemption requirements.

Jim Paxton, Boot-Check Sports Ranch, stated that they have had small gatherings at the facility
and asked the Board to consider the community impact that the program will have. Mr. Paxton
noted that the community has needed a recreation facility for kids and this facility will have a big
impact on the community. Mr. Paxton asked the Board to approve the exemption for 2026.

submitting the application to Legal for review, the property does not qualify for a property tax
exemption at this time.

Commissioner Hawkins made a MOTION to approve the property tax exemption application for
Family Health Services. Commissioner Matthews SECONDED. Discussion Commissioner
Hawkins recommended denial as both Legal and the Assessor have stated the property does not
meet the requirements for exemption at this time. Motion failed unanimously.

In the Matter of AMBULANCE DISTRICT
The Board met as the Twin Falls County Ambulance District Board to discuss the discontinuation
of Filer QRU.

Commissioner Matthews made a MOTION to leave session as the Board of County
Commissioners and convene as the Twin Falls County Ambulance District Board at 3:00 p.m.
Commissioner Hawkins SECONDED. Motion passed unanimously.

Phil Roberts, Filer Fire Chief, spoke with the Board regarding the intent for Filer Rural Fire
Protection District to discontinue the Filer QRU and the pending discussion by the Fire District
Board’s meeting on April 13th. Mr. Roberts noted it has been difficult to find volunteers to fill the
roster. With Magic Valley Paramedics responding from the Filer Fire Station, they are on scene
before any volunteers. Mr. Roberts noted that because MVP is generally on scene volunteers feel
it is not necessary to respond to provide medical services and are unable to use their skills. The

Filer Fire Department pays volunteers $15.00 per hour when they respond to a call, however, they
are unable to pay a stipend to be on call.

Andrew Stevens, Buhl Fire Department, noted that Buhl is a little different because they have full
time staff that run EMS calls. Buhl will continue to run calls with their combined fire and EMS
staff. They also pay volunteers to respond which equates to approximately $41.00 per call. Buhl
is looking for other sources of revenue to be able to continue providing the service.

Gary Sabin, Rock Creek Fire noted they have 3 full time staff on most of the time and are in the
same situation as Buhl where the Fire District is supporting the EMS program.

Chief Roberts noted that they are unable to bill for services making it difficult to fund the EMS.
Stan Roberts, MVP noted that they have an ambulance staffed 24 hours full time at the Filer Fire
station. Chief Stevens noted that Buhl does not have an ambulance like Filer and Rock Creek
making it important that they have EMS services available. Commissioner Matthews noted that
each unit is a little different and has their own set of challenges. Chief Roberts discussed the steps
and goals that the Fire District is working toward and noted that the Fire District will be available
to assist MVP when needed.

Commissioner Hawkins made a MOTION to adjourn the Ambulance District Board and reconvene
as the Board of County Commissioners at 3:50 p.m. Commissioner Matthews SECONDED.
Motion passed unanimously.

There being no further business, the Board recessed until 8:00 a.m., April 7, 2026, at the

Commissioners considered a cancellation of a homeowner exemption tax recovery as requested by
the Assessor.

Brad Wills, Assessor, and Erin Porter, Chief Deputy Assessor, reviewed the cancellation of a

Celebration taking place May 29–May 31, 2026. Mr. Revai explained that the goal is to display
the flags in recognition of America250 and then distribute and display the flags throughout the
Magic Valley.

Commissioner Matthews expressed concerns about potential property damage from placing a large
number of flag stakes in the lawn, specifically regarding the sprinkler system. He advised Mr.
Revai that he will need to coordinate with Kali Sherrell, Parks and Waterways Director, to
determine proper placement and mitigate these issues.

Commissioner Matthews also raised a question related to House Bill 561. Mr. Revai stated he is
unsure whether the Colonial‑style flags are addressed under the bill but noted that the company
producing the flags is associated with the America250 initiative.

Commissioner Hawkins mentioned concerns about public use of the Courthouse lawn during the
parade. Mr. Revai explained that he has a plan to arrange the flags in a way that still allows public
access to the lawn during parade activities.

In the Matter of PROPERTY TAX
Commissioners considered a property tax exemption application for Boot-Check Sports Ranch.

Present - Jim Paxton, Gerald Martens and Josie Schmitz for Boot-Check Sports Ranch and Erin
Porter and Brad Wills, Assessor’s Office.

Mr. Paxton reviewed his request for the exemption for Boot-Check Sports Ranch. Mr. Paxton
discussed his position on the comparison of JR Simplot’s project in Boise and stated that he felt
that the Boot-Check project qualified for the exemption as they were approved for phase 1
occupancy which allowed them to have their annual fundraiser last week. Mr. Paxton noted that
he felt the comparison with churches that are denied the exemption when they are not being used
was inaccurate. The economic impact that the Boot-Check Sports Ranch will bring into the
community should be considered. Gerald Martens spoke and noted there was a big community
need for the services that will be provided. Mr. Martens noted that the property will continue to be
in the County and will bring business to the community. Josie Schmitz reviewed her involvement
with the ranch and the planned use of the project with the Board.

Commissioner Reinke noted that state code is clear on the exemption requirements. Brad Wills,
Assessor noted that specific codes for exemptions require an annual application. The exemption
requires that they look at the use of the property on January 1 of each year. Mr. Wills noted that
he felt there was a conflict due to his relationship with the foundation so he had his staff do the
inspection of the property. He also had Legal review the application and their recommendation
was that as of January 1, 2026 the property did not qualify for the exemption. Erin Porter, Deputy
Assessor noted that because the property was still under construction it was not actively being used
exclusively for the purposes as per Idaho Code 63-602C. Commissioner Hawkins noted that she
would like further discussion with Legal regarding the use of the property during construction.
Commissioner Matthews noted that he felt that the purpose definition was met as Ms. Schmitz
noted they had a Cool to Care youth activity in October 2025 and there have been a few other
activities since. Ms. Porter discussed her concern with the purpose of the facility not being clear.

No action taken.
