o
Dustin Barron presented the need to hire a designated receptionist for the 357 Constitution
building which now houses five different departments. The initial plan for a Planning &
Zoning employee to take that role has not been adequate to assist the public efficiently.
Wages for this proposed position will be split between the Assessor's budget and the
Planning & Zoning budget, with funds currently available.
o
Commissioner Michelle Mallard motioned to approve the receptionist position on the
condition that the funding exists in the current budget, and no new funds will be allocated
in future budgets. Commissioner Jonathan Walker seconded the motion. Commissioner
Karl Casperson in favor.
•
Thursday Morning Orientation for Payroll & Follow-up to Monday's Employment Orientation:
o
Ruby Taylor presented a request for support regarding fo llow-up orientation time for new
employees to take place on Thursday morning from 8:30 AM to I 0:30 AM. This time
would be set aside for payroll questions and timecard training.
o
Concern was raised questioning the need for the follow-up session. It was requested that
the follow-up session be an option, instead of mandatory. Ms. Taylor indicated that if a
new employee doesn't need that time, then they will not require them to be away from their
work. However, if employees are not currently allowed time to meet with payroll to get the
system set up for them, that accommodation should be provided.
o
Commissioner Jonathan Walker motioned to approve and support the Thursday Morning
Follow-up Orientation Session for new employees. Commissioner Michelle Mallard
seconded the motion. Commissioner Karl Casperson was not present for this action.
•
Follow-up on Health Insurance Presentation from 03/3 1/2026 Elected Officials Meeting:
o
It was decided that a small workgroup will be assembled to review the health insurance
options and provide feedback. Each Elected Official is responsible for nominating
members of their staff to be in this workgroup. Nominees should be diverse to provide a
wide range of feedback.

o
Elected Officials were asked to submit employee names by email to Austin Black and Ruby
Taylor so they can get this workgroup assembled.
•
Grade Reclassification for Jail Maintenance Supervisor Position:
o
Sheriff Hulse presented the request to reclassify the Jail Maintenance Supervisor position
from Grade 16 to Grade 18. This position oversees all the maintenance at the jail and
supervises the other jail maintenance staff. The current employee also keeps his Detention
Officer certification up to date, so he does not require an additional escort into higher secure
areas of the jail and is able to act as an escort to other maintenance staff.
o
A question was raised whether certification should be a requirement for this position, as it
is not currently in the job description. It was recommended the Sheriff have two separate
Supervisor positions, Grade 18 would be titled "Certified Jail Maintenance Supervisor"
and would require the Detention Officer Certification and leave the Grade 16 Jail
Maintenance Supervisor intact for future supervisors who are not certified. The Sheriff
supported this idea and will work on revising the job description for the Grade 18
requirements.
o
Another question was raised about the department/budget this position is under. The Sheriff
would like to see this position under his budget purview. Chris Poulter will investigate the
budget concern.
o
Commissioner Michelle Mallard motioned to approve the reclassification with the
certification requirement. Commissioner Jonathan Walker seconded the motion.
Commissioner Karl Casperson was not present for this action.
•
Chief Deputy Sheriff Position Reactivation:
o
Sheriff Hulse presented the request to reactivate the Chief Deputy Sheriff position and
deactivate the Law Enforcement Captain position. Anthony Glenn has been appointed
Chief Deputy Sheriff to expand his scope of management. There will be no change to
wages, status, or budget with this request.
o
Commissioner Jonathan Walker motioned to approve this request. Commissioner Michelle
Mallard seconded the motion. Commissioner Karl Casperson was not present for this
action.
Present were Chris Poulter, County Clerk, Craig Tibbits, Treasurer, Dustin Barron, Assessor, Randy Neal,
Prosecuting Attorney, Sheriff Samuel Hulse, and Shante Sanchez, Coroner. Additional attendees were

Bonneville County Board of Commissioners' Minutes 2026, Book 41
I 143

Items considered and action taken are as follows:
•
Mark Diamond, HK Contractors, presented the proposed alternative for construction along 49th
North for the widening project. This request is for a sewer bypass to allow the school district to
start school on time for the new elementary school. The pernrnnent sewer main is unable to be
installed at this time due to a conflict with the power lines.
Nathan Cardon, Rocky Mountain Power, spoke to the conflict with the power lines. There needs to
be a 25-foot clearance which there is not at this time. The power lines are scheduled to be moved
to the other side of the road, eliminating the conflict, however, they are still waiting for all the
rights-of-way to be acquired by the county.
Cody Jackson, School District 93, doesn't believe the school district should shoulder the burden of
cost for the portion of this project that lies on public land. They are willing to cover the cost on
school district owned land.
The Commissioners expressed concern regarding the cost and the County covering the cost on a
bid of this size and requested other options be considered. The Commissioners agreed to take this
issue under advisement and to review again when Mr. Bates has more details from HK Contractors.
