session, pursuant to the recess of November 7, 2025.
PRESENT:

and Commissioner Don Hall.
ABSENT:

STAFF:

The following proceedings were held to wit:
In the Matter of MEETINGS
Commissioners met with office staff for a department update.
Commissioners met with Legal for a department update.
Commissioners met with Gary Anderson, Research and Development Supervisor for a department
update.
Commissioner Matthews attended a Historical Preservation Commission meeting.
In the Matter of CONSENT AGENDA
Commissioners considered the Consent Agenda; items may include status sheets, employee
requisitions, alcohol licenses, tax cancellations, Sheriff’s Office Security Agreements, and
Commissioner minutes.
Commissioner Matthews requested the status sheet for the Clerk’s Office be pulled for
consideration at a later date.
Commissioner Matthews made a MOTION to approve the Consent Agenda as presented.
Commissioner Reinke SECONDED. Discussion Commissioner Matthews reviewed the items in
the Consent Agenda to include employee requisitions for the Fair Board, Planning & Zoning and
Safe House; and status sheets for the Clerk’s Office, Maintenance, Safe House, the Treasurer’s
Office, the Assessor’s Office, Juvenile Detention, and the Sheriff’s Office. Motion Passed
Unanimously.
In the Matter of CONTRACTS
Commissioners considered an MOU with the Idaho State Historic Preservation Office.
Ron James, Historic Preservation Commission member reviewed the MOU with the Board and
noted that the Commission had applied for a grant of $15,000.00 and was awarded $10,000.00.
Mr. James also reviewed the survey project that the MOU supports. Commissioner Hall noted that
the grant award is passed through from the State to the County and then on to the Historic
Preservation Commission.
Commissioner Reinke made a MOTION to approve the MOU with the Idaho State Historic
Preservation Office and authorize the Chairman to sign the documents on behalf of the Board.
Commissioner Matthews SECONDED. Discussion Commissioner Reinke thanked Mr. James for
his work on the project. Motion Passed Unanimously.
In the Matter of ZONING
Commissioners considered an appeal of the CDS Director's decision to deny an Ag Building
Exemption to Tyler and Nicole Slade.
Commissioner Hall swore in Tyler and Nicole Slade, Appellants, Jon Laux CDS Director and Brad
Wills, Assessor.
Tyler Slade spoke with the Board and reviewed his application to build an ag exempt building.
Mr. Slade stated that he didn’t understand the criteria that Mr. Laux used to deny the exemption.
Mr. Slade noted that the surrounding counties do not use the criteria that was used by Mr. Laux
and he felt his property qualified for an ag exempt building. Nicole Slade noted that her husband
reviewed all the requirements prior to applying and they were unable to find any requirement that
the property had to be taxed as ag to qualify for the exemption. The property is in an ag zone and
they were told by the Assessor’s Office staff that the property would qualify as ag.
Jon Laux, CDS Director reviewed the application and the process he followed for denying the
exemption. Mr. Laux stated that he did reach out to surrounding counties and there are multiple
counties that follow that same process. The property is not contiguous with any other ag use
property and per Idaho code, the contents have to be utilized to store ag related equipment or
products. Mr. Laux noted that the ag designation goes around building codes and life safety
requirements which can create issues if the building is used for uses outside the specific ag use.
Brad Wills, Assessor reviewed the property and the process used to designate the property as ag.
Mr. Wills expressed concern that the Assessor’s Office designation was being used for other
purposes. Mr. Wills office has not noticed any ag use on the property so they have not designated
it as ag use through the assessment process. The area has mainly residential parcels. The parties
reviewed the map of the property and the current use. Mr. Wills noted that his office uses a specific
process to assess properties that are in active ag use. There was discussion on the property and the
comments that the current use does not show active ag use. Mr. Slade reviewed his intent to use
the building for ag use and noted that he doesn’t have anything to present to argue his intent. There
was discussion on the use and the assessment process.
Mr. Slade noted that he could go through the process to have the property assessed again with the
ag designation but according to the law he should be able to qualify for an ag building based upon
the size of his property and its current use.
Commissioner Reinke noted that he felt he had learned enough and felt that Mr. Slade had
expressed that his intention is to only use the building for ag use. Commissioner Matthews
reviewed the options that the Board had for their decision. Commissioner Matthews stated that he
doesn’t see any reason to modify the decision and that he would lean toward reversing the decision
of the CDS Director. Commissioner Hall noted that the Board takes all their decision seriously
and that the Board learns through every decision it makes. The additional information presented
today makes sense and shows that the CDS Director may not have had that when he made the
decision. Commissioner Hall stated that he would lean toward reversing the decision.
Commissioner Matthews noted that he still has a concern with the cost of the appeals. There was
discussion on the new cost for appeals.
Commissioner Reinke made a MOTION to reverse the decision of the CDS Director and approve
the ag exempt building application. Commissioner Matthews SECONDED. Discussion
Commissioner Reinke noted that he felt the CDS Director made the best decision he could based
upon the information he had at the time of the application. With the additional information
provided at the meeting it was appropriate to reverse the decision. Motion Passed Unanimously.
In the Matter of INDIGENT
Commissioners considered County Assistance Applications.
Commissioner Matthews made a MOTION to approve case number 104834 in the amount of
$950.00 to Idaho Legacy LLC for cremation. Commissioner Reinke SECONDED. Discussion
Commissioner Matthews recommended denial as the County is not the last resource. Motion Failed
Unanimously. (Hall absent)

In the Matter of CONTRACTS
Commissioners considered a Memorandum of Understanding with the Idaho Dept. of Ag.
Sheriff Jack Johnson and Captain Scott Bishop reviewed the MOU with the Board and noted that

Idaho Dept. of Ag. Commissioner Matthews SECONDED. Discussion Commissioner Reinke

Commissioners considered two modification requests for the Twin Falls County Fairgrounds.
Commissioner Matthews reviewed the modification request for replacing asphalt at the Twin Falls
County Fairgrounds. The company will donate the asphalt to the Fair in exchange for advertising.
The value of the asphalt is approximately $17,000.00. The second request is to add bleachers in
the sale barn. A company will fund 50% of the cost of approximately $35,000.00. There was
discussion on the funding for the second half of the costs. Commissioner Matthews noted that the
Fair Board approved both requests. There was discussion on the proposed signage and the need
for the requests to be fine-tuned.
Commissioner Matthews made a MOTION to approve the modification request for the asphalt at
the Twin Falls County Fairgrounds. Commissioner Reinke SECONDED. Motion Passed
Unanimously.

further information at that meeting. No action taken.
Commissioners considered the FY2026 Traffic Enforcement Grant Project Agreement.
Gary Andersen, R&D Supervisor reviewed the FY2026 Traffic Enforcement Grant Project
Agreement with the Board. There was discussion on the grant and federal participation
requirements. Sheriff Jack Johnson noted that the grant allows the Sheriff’s Office to pay overtime
for deputies to do more traffic enforcement. The funds are not used to pay normal deputy wages
so if the funds are not awarded, the County would not be negatively affected. Commissioner Hall
noted that public safety is a concern and the funds help with additional patrols and equipment.
Commissioner Reinke made a MOTION to approve the FY2026 Traffic Enforcement Grant
Project Agreement and authorize the Chairman and the Clerk to sign the appropriate documents
on behalf of the Board. Commissioner Matthews SECONDED. Motion Passed Unanimously.
In the Matter of RESOLUTIONS
Commissioners considered proposed Social Services Policy Resolution #2026-007.
Commissioner Reinke and Valarie Varadi, Social Services Director reviewed the proposed
Resolution with the Board. There was discussion on the changes and the limitation of the budget.
Commissioner Hall noted that he felt the Resolution helps the Board to be transparent with the
community.
Commissioner Reinke made a MOTION to approve Resolution #2026-007 as presented.
Commissioner Matthews SECONDED. Commissioner Reinke noted that the Resolution gives
parameters for the assistance available to the public. Motion Passed Unanimously.
RESOLUTION NO. 2026-007
AT THE MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TWIN FALLS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, STATE OF
IDAHO, ON THE 25th DAY OF NOVEMBER, 2025, THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTION WAS
ADOPTED, REPEALING AND REPLACING RESOLUTION NUMBER 2013-005.
WHEREAS, the Board of Twin Falls County Commissioners (Board) is permitted, pursuant to
Idaho Code § 31-3401 to adopt resolutions, to promulgate policies and procedures, negotiate payment to
providers, and contract for non-medical services; and
WHEREAS, the Board has developed certain policies and procedures for the administration of
Idaho Code, Title 31, Chapter 34 as specifically permitted, subject to amendment by further Resolution,
as deemed necessary;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Twin Falls County Commissioners that
Resolution No. 2013-005 is repealed and we hereby adopt the following procedures to be in effect upon
passage of this resolution until further resolution of this Board:
1. Monthly Food Expense Allowance:
Twin Falls County adopts guidelines established by the United States Department of Agriculture
(USDA) "New Thrifty Food Plan" including any amendments (which may be updated monthly) as its
basis in determining the proper or reasonable food expense allowance. Generally, food expense allowance
will be determined using the "Thrifty Plan" guidelines. In circumstances where the applicant demonstrates
special needs, a determination may be made using the "Low Cost Plan." Exceptions warranting the higher
allowance include such things as special diet due to diabetes, demonstrable medical needs, etc.
Determination of the appropriate allowance will be made on an individual basis; however, exceptions will
only be granted upon a showing of actual need as opposed to individual convenience. Twin Falls County
also adopts the USDA "Studies of the NEW THRIFTY FOOD PLAN" as its basis for using the "New
Thrifty Food Plan” in making its determination of food expense allowances. The current guidelines are
attached as Exhibit 1.
2. Monthly Allowable Expenses:
Twin Falls County adopts monthly non-food allowable expenses as set forth in the attached
Exhibit 2.
3.
Restrictions on providing non-medical assistance:
a. In determining available resources of the applicant, the Board will not consider payments
to an applicant's relatives of any degree of relation, including but not limited to the applicant's
in-laws as an allowable expense payment.
b. Twin Falls County will not make payments to an applicant's relatives of any degree or
relation, including but not limited to the applicant's in-laws, for services or goods provided to
the applicant or the household, or paid on behalf of the applicant.
c. An application will be denied if the applicant voluntarily terminated his/her employment
at any time within 30 days prior to filing the application for assistance or at any time after the
application was filed. An applicant will be deemed to have voluntarily terminated his or her
employment if he/she was terminated by his/her employer for failing to appear for work, for
excessive absences, or for violation of the employer's policies.
d. If at the time of filing an application for non-medical assistance, or thereafter, the
applicant is a defendant in a pending action for unlawful detainer/eviction in court, Twin
Falls County will not intervene in the action; and the Board will deny the request for payment
of the applicant's rent or utilities. The Board will also deny the application if the clerk has
reason to believe the applicant's landlord will begin eviction proceedings within twenty (20)
days, notwithstanding any payment of rent by the County.
e. The applicant and any adult household member must be employed or demonstrate to the
satisfaction of the Board that he/she is actively seeking employment. All adult household
members must maintain a current registration with the Idaho Department of Employment Job
Service. This requirement may be waived if such person produces a written statement from a
physician certifying that said person(s) is unable to work for medical reasons. An adult high
school student who is attending classes is exempted from this requirement.
f. An applicant for rental assistance must provide to the Board a plan demonstrating how the
applicant intends to sustain his/her rent going forward, should the applicant qualify for one
month’s rental assistance.
g. Twin Falls County will not pay rent or utilities for full-time or part-time college students
unless all the Resolution requirements are met. In addition, students must demonstrate by
documentation they have made substantial efforts to secure employment. The Board shall
take into consideration the availability of jobs for which the applicant is qualified.
h. Twin Falls County will pay one month’s rent or one month’s utilities one time during a
twelve (12) month period.
i.
When the budgeted funds for rental and utility assistance are depleted for the fiscal year,
the clerk will no longer accept applications for rental and utility assistance nor present cases
to the Board of County Commissioners for the same.
Approved and adopted this 25TH day of November, 2025.

In the Matter of WATERWAYS
Commissioners considered a request from Ray Perron to utilize Centennial Park's waterway
access.
Commissioner Reinke reviewed the request and the certificate of insurance provided by Mr.
Perron. Gary Perron reviewed the proposed project with the Board and the bond requirement by
the Board. Bob Beer, Facilities Director reviewed his knowledge of bonds and the concerns that
the insurance certificate would not cover potential damages adequately. Mr. Beer also
recommended an MOU with Mr. Perron and that a review of the facilities, before and after the use,
be done by civil science with those costs covered by the applicant. Commissioner Hall stated he
understands Mr. Perron’s time concerns, however the Board was unaware of the project and the
priority is to protect county assets. The County needs an MOU as well as the certificate of
insurance and a bond to protect county property.
No action taken.
