Discussion Items:
•
Representing the Harrison Canal Company, Stan Hawkin, Danny Ferguson, and Jerry Rigby,
Attorney, brought to the attention of the Commissioners a potential issue regarding the plans for
the 145th North Road Project. Harrison Canal Company is in support of the road improvement
project, but the plans as proposed encroach on the canal right-of-way. Currently, the rights-of-way
conflict with one another. Moving the canal before or in conjunction with the road project would
be their preference. They would like time to research options to fix the canal and the roadway that
would be a long-tenn solution, not a temporary fix. They would also like time to research financial
options, such as grants. Lance Bates, Public Works Director, shared his concern for public safety
on 1451h North/County line Road if the project is delayed longer than a year. The road improvement
project will need to go out for bid in the fall of 2025 for the project to be completed in the summer
of 2026. The Commissioners agreed to write letters of support for Harrison Canal Company for
grants, as needed, and pause the project for six months.
•
Lance Bates presented two design options for the sidewalk on 49th North, Ammon Road to 45 th
East. It was decided to direct the engineer to design the north side of the road-with a five-foot
sidewalk, and the south side of the road with a ten-foot sidewalk. Also, for discussion regarding
the road design was a 3-lane tie in versus a 5-lane tie in. A 5-lane tie in was considered a safer
option and therefore agreed upon.
•
Lighting Districts and replacement light poles were discussed and taken under advisement for
further discussion at a later date.
•
Various other topics were discussed.

agreement for Sellers Overlook, Division No. 1 that is keeping him from getting a building permit

by the development agreement due to it being only a 20-yard section of road. He would like an
amendment to the agreement to allow for road improvements to occur when other lots sell and are
developed. Lance Bates suggested an amendment to allow a cash bond to be remitted to the county
by Mr. Baker for the road to be paved in the future. Mr. Baker will work with Austin Black to make
the appropriate changes for Commissioner review at a later date.

will blend into the area. Part of the plan shall include a buffer plan
adjacent to the A-1 z.oned properties. This buffer shall consist of at a

Jonathan Walker with Lance Bates, Public Works Director, David Romrell, Public Works Assistant
Director, Blair Hillam, Solid Waste Manager, Ashli Anderson, Assistant to the Bonneville County

& Bridge department. Public in attendance was Neil Brown, Robert Timpany, and Micah Austin. Public in
attendance via ZOOM was M. Rusk.
Discussion Items:
•
Robert Timpany and Neal Brown brought an issue to the attention of the Commissioners regarding
a Road 105 accessing Mr. Timpany's propetiy that is currently being farmed by Mr. Brown. The
road is on the county map, but it is unsure whether the road is a county road or private. Other
property owners have built and locked a gate which is blocking access to Mr. Timpany's property.
Lance Bates discussed that this road is not a recognized county road, but it has shown up on the
map as an unimproved road. This road is an access to farm ground, so the county has never
maintained or expended tax dollars to maintain this road. Mr. Timpany is asking the Commissioners
to validate the road as a County Road. The Commissioners agreed to speak with legal counsel to
determine the next steps in the process.
•
Blair Hillam discussed the repairs at the Transfer Station. He provided options for repairs and the
respective wait times and cost of those repairs.
•
The compactor repairs will require an approximate three-week closure after the delivery of
the new compactor. During that time, Solid Waste staff will work on some upgrades to the
commercial side of the Transfer Station, as well. The dates of closure are to be detennined.
The Commissioners directed Blair to order the parts necessary to prevent potential
breakdown and extreme closure of the Transfer Station.
•
The repairs to the concrete floor of the Transfer Station will also require a closure of
approximately five days. The dates of closure are to be determined after speaking with the
contractor and engineers.
•
Environmental Protection Agency has given a permit to construct the flare station that has
a deadline the 15th of June. Due to engineering issues, we will be unable to meet that
deadline. An extension will be filed with the Department of Environmental Quality and the
Environmental Protection Agency on the pennit to construct.
•
Lance Bates gave an update on winter road closures. Blacktail is open. They are working to open
115t11, Meadow Creek Road, Capson Eagle Pass and Fall Creek. Long Valley Road to Gray's Lake

Action Items:
•
Representatives from Progressive Irrigation District attended to discuss the plans for road repair on
105 th East near the Southfork Aquifer Recharge Basin. Prior to this meeting, Lance Bates prepared
a proposed plan and agreement for them to review. Lance Schuster discussed that agreement and
plan. Progressive Irrigation District is willing to repair the road to the condition that it was prior to
the beginning of the over burden hauling. However, the proposed plan included widening the road,
which they do not feel is their cost to bear.
Lance Bates discussed the need to widen the road to the current 28-foot standard. Currently, the
road width changes depending on which section you are measuring. Pait of the reason for the
severity of the damage is this discrepancy in road width causing trucks to drive on the shoulder of
the road.
Cooperative financial arrangements for the eventual repair and widening project were discussed.
However, for a sho1t-tenn solution, an arrangement has been agreed upon. Public Works, Planning
and Zoning, and Progressive Irrigation will work together to draft an agreement for Commissioner
signature at a later date.

IN THE MATTER OF WEEKLY ROAD AND BRIDGE MEETING:
In the weekly Road and Bridge Meeting, Commissioner Karl Casperson, Commissioner/Chainnan Jonathan
Walker, and Commissioner Michelle Mallar met with Lance Bates, Public Works Director, David Romrell,
Public Works Assistant Director, Blair Hillam, Solid Waste Manager, Ashli Anderson, Assistant to the
Bonneville County Commissioners, and Austin Black, Building & Zoning Director, relative to subjects
pertaining to the Road & Bridge department. Public attendees were Matt Tanner, Ray Suitter, Tyson Tanner,
Cameron Manwaring, Geoff Schroeder, Wade Sanner, Lance Schuster, and Murland Spaulding.
Action Items:
•
Cameron Manwaring, Mayor of Swan Valley, discussed the need for a better relationship and
communication between the City of Swan Valley and Bonneville County, especially on the topic
of road maintenance. He has spoken with Lance Bates previously and is now bringing it to the
attention of the Commissioners. He and Geoff Schroeder, Swan Valley Legal Counsel, shared the
need for repairs and maintenance on Stoltenberg Lane, which historically was a dirt, ranch road.
Stoltenberg Lane is a single access road to several residents and properties in that area. There are
safety and emergency services concerns. Sheriff Hulse and Travis Crystal, Swan Valley Fire Chief,
has written letters of support and concern regarding Stoltenberg Lane. Residents have been asking
for quite some time for updates to the road. The City of Swan Valley does not have a Public Works
department, therefore the road and streets within the City of Swan Valley are the responsibility of
the county or highway district. The county did a Quit Claim Deed to turn the parcel over to the City
of Swan Valley. However, they allege that the responsibility of road maintenance still falls to the
county based on the 2018 Road Maintenance Agreement between Bonneville County and the City
of Swan Valley. The City of Swan Valley is interested in supporting the road improvements.
Austin Black, Planning and Zoning Director, mentioned that collaboration in the future with his
department would be appreciated. Also, they will need to collaborate this year to update the area
of impact agreement.
Commissioner Walker affirmed that the Quit Claim Deed was not in relation to the previous
conversation that Mr. Bates had with Mayor Manwaring. The timing was unfortunate, but the
county has been working to clean up records regarding county owned roads within city limits.
Lance Bates shared that the Quit Claim Deed will help the City of Swan Valley to be able to apply
for state funding that can help with maintenance. The option that was discussed previously was an
oiled road with a BSD treatment. Unfortunately, the county is not equipped to fulfill the
Page I 125
requirements that were proposed; therefore, he is not comfortable with agreeing to do the project
at this time.
Several options were discussed, including a potential cost sharing agreement. It was agreed that a
traffic study is needed. The topic will be revisited once the traffic study is complete.
•
Lance Bates presented a Road Maintenance and Restoration Agreement between Bonneville
County, Progressive Irrigation District, and Bateman Brothers regarding a 1.25-mile section of
105th East located between Highway 26 and 145th North (County Line Road) in Bonneville County.
Lance Schuster, representing Progressive Irrigation District, affirmed they approve the proposed
agreement. Commissioner Michelle Mallard made a motion to accept the road maintenance and
restoration agreement. Commissioner Karl Casperson seconded the motion. All in favor. See
Exhibit No. "79-25" in Exhibits to Commissioners' Minutes 2025.
Lance Bates confirmed that Progressive Irrigation District and Bateman Brothers are approved to
start hauling again regarding the South Fork Recharge Facility project, which involves excavation
and recharge operations to benefit the Snake River Plan Aquifer.
•
Commissioner Michelle Mallard motioned to approve the contract for Horrocks Engineering
regarding Parcel 9 (RP02N3Al 58833) scope of work and right-of-way services. Commissioner

Discussion Items:
•
Shawn Branson addressed the Commissioners regarding the trimming of trees near Waverly Road.
He claims the trimming was done in excess, without proper notification. The homeowners'
association (HOA) requires trees to be planted between the sidewalk and the curb. Mr. Branson
asserted that notification should be given to the homeowner and the HOA.
David Romrell, Public Works Assistant Director, spoke concerning this issue. The Subdivision
Crew asked for the trees to be trimmed in order for the street sweeper to clean along the curb. Tree
trimming prevents damage to road maintenance equipment and major damage to the trees. Except
for an emergency, homeowners are notified ahead of time if their trees are encroaching on the
roadway. They contacted the homeowner who told them to do what they needed to do.
Mr. Branson was reminded that the Commissioners do not enforce HOA covenants. The trees in
question are planted within the county right-of-way. The homeowner was contacted; therefore, the
county did not act in error. Efforts to contact homeowners will continue to be practiced with the
Public Works staff. In addition, efforts to improve that communication will be considered.
Commissioner Walker suggested that homeowners' associations should encourage trees with an
upright shape or discourage trees from being planted in the right-of-way to provide for efficient
road maintenance.

inventory and updated the Commissioners on the potential growth in Ammon.

IN THE MATTER OF PUBLIC HEARING FOR ROAD VALIDATION FOR ROAD
CURRENL Y KNOWN AS ROAD #105:
As advertised, a public hearing was held for the purpose of Road Validation regarding a road
currently identified as Road #105. Verbal testimony was received from David Romrell,
Assistant Public Works Director, Robe1t Timpany, Applicant, Neil Brown, David Stoddard,
David Nielson, Ben Garner, Brian Reed, Jerry Clark, Fred Thacker, and Trevor Davey. Written
testimony was submitted by Robert Timpany, David Stoddard, Fred Thacker, Ben Garner,
Jennifer Garner, and Adrean Garner.
The Commissioners will take this matter under advisement. The Commissioners will review
the information, and Public Works will put together proposed findings. The Findings of Fact,
Conclusion, and Decision will be presented in a future Road and Bridge and Zoning Weekly
Meeting. See Exhibit No. "153-25" in Exhibits to Commissioners' Minutes 2025.
Discussion Items:
•
Susi Widerburg addressed the Commission to discuss concerns regarding the road in her
neighborhood. It is a two-lane road and when vehicles are parked on the street it becomes
dangerous and disrupts the flow of traffic. There are issues with a specific individual who she
claims is unwilling to work with the neighbors. She was told it was a no-on-street-parking zone.
Lance Bates spoke to the condition of the subdivision. It is an older subdivision with no curbs,
gutters, or sidewalks with approximately 15 houses. It is a swell subdivision and parking is
allowed alongside the road. Public Works did receive a petition a few years ago to put in no-
on-street-parking signs. The Commission at the time denied the request.
Austin Black spoke to the code enforcement issue. He has spoken with Ms. Widerburg. Code
Enforcement and the Sheriffs Office have been out to the subdivision to review the situation.
It was determined that from an enforcement perspective there is nothing that can be done by
the County as long as the vehicles are being moved every 48 hours. They talked to the un-
cooperative neighbor and encouraged him to be courteous.
The Commissioners agreed to take this under advisement. The issue will be reviewed with
Planning and Zoning and Public Works to determine if an amendment to the County ordinance
is warranted.

employees.
Commissioner Walker then turned the meeting over to Chris Poulter, who provided a budget overview for
the proposed fiscal year 2025-2026 Bonneville County budget, as well as an overview of the county's
employment benefits. The proposed budget is the product of a collaborative process which involved elected
officials, department heads, the accounting team, and the Board of Commissioners. The budget for fiscal
year 2025-2026 will increase approximately $10 million from fiscal year 2024-2025. This amount results
from a combination of needed spending authority to complete projects in motion as well as adjusting wages
and insurance of Bonneville County employees. Most of the budget increase will be funded by revenue
from savings that has been dedicated to ongoing projects. The proposed budget included a 3% cost-of-living
increase in addition to funding for eligible merit increases for Bonneville County employees. Offices
receiving funding for new positions include Building & Grounds, Commissioners, Planning & Zoning,
Prosecutor, and Assessor.
Bonneville County continues to monitor its self-funded health insurance policy; the premium will increase
by 7% for the upcoming fiscal year. All county funds are stable for the upcoming fiscal year, with the
expected revenue from property tax, available cash balance, and other projected revenue sufficient to
support the proposed budget. Landfill fees will increase from $126 per household unit to $186 per
household. The hauling fee for Swan Valley/Irwin/Palisades area will be $32.50 per household. This
increase is necessary to support the Transfer Station to meet the growing demand for county waste disposal.

Discussion Items:
•
Traffic control options for the Iona Road Widening Project were discussed. For HK Contractors to
deploy and maintain three (3) temporary traffic signals it would cost approximately $52804.00 for
the eight (8) month project. The alternative would be to install temporary Right-In/Right-Out signs
at the intersection of Vision and Ammon Road for the cost of $64,956.00. Based on the traffic
patterns in that area, Lance Bates recommends the Right-In/Right-Out option for a better flow.
Commissioner Casperson questioned the ability to have a tempormy traffic signal that does not
require fixed time and could be on a sensor. Commissioner Mallard questioned why traffic control
wasn't pm1 of the initial cost of the bid for this project. The Commissioners agreed to table this
discussion to gather more infonnation. Austin Black verified that the grant money allocated for the
project will cover the cost of the Right-In/Right-Out option. Commissioner Walker suggested a
need for a Right-In/Right-Out option as a permanent fixture instead of temporary. The topic will be
on the agenda for the next Road and Bridge meeting.
•
Per Commissioner Walker's request, Lance Bates gave a brief regarding the widening of Ammon
Road in 2021 to accommodate the increase in traffic flow. The temporary fix proposed was to go
to a three lane with a cross section. To keep cost manageable, and to be able to apply for grants
later, it was designed with swells and sidewalk. Eliminating curb and gutter was a cost saving
measure, as well as an option to eliminate material waste in a future widening project. The swells
along Ammon Road were designed with a maintainable grade and intended to be seeded.
•
Bear Creek Landslide Repair Project has been fully excavated. They are in the process of installing
the walls. Mats should be arriving any day.
•
Commissioner Mallard shared positive feedback regarding the Subdivision Crew. Janine Smith
recognized Eric, Jared, and John for being friendly, informative and efficient at their job. They
arranged for repair of a sewer cover that has been coming loose for years after Mrs. Smith voiced
concern.
•
Various other topics were discussed.
IN THE MATTER OF EXCHANGE CLUB MEETING:
Commissioner Karl Casperson attended a meeting of the Exchange Club on this date.
IN THE MATTER OF WEEKLY LEGAL COUNSEL:
Commissioner Karl Casperson, Commissioner/Chairman Jonathan Walker, and Commissioner Michelle
Mallard met with Weston Davis, Civil Counselor, in weekly Legal Counsel concerning legal issues and
pending decisions to be made by the Board of Commissioners. Other county employees in attendance as
invited.
IN THE MATTER OF CONSIDERATION AND NEGOTIATION OF PARCELS REGARDING
1986 TAX DEED:
Commissioner Karl Casperson and Commissioner Michelle Mallard met with Jerrie Payne, Sara Swapp,
and Brent Swapp regarding the 1986 tax deed of Parcels RPO4080002028O (Lot 28) and
RPO4080002029O (Lot 29). Also present were Austin Black, Chief Operations Officer, Trich Maupin, GIS
Page I 287
Supervisor, Rachelle DePaolo, Chief Deputy Treasurer, and Ashli Anderson, Deputy Clerk &
Commissioners' Administrative Assistant.
Mrs. Payne and Mr. and Mrs. Swapp claim the parcels in question, which are part of Henderson Subdivison
aka Henderson Trailer Court, were wrongfully deeded to the county in 1986. Mrs. Payne was unaware that
she no longer owned the parcels and claims she did not receive notice of delinquent taxes. In 1981, a road
easement was established over Lots 28 and 29. They believe the remaining property, not included in the
easement, should have been split and added to the adjacent parcels.
After listening to testimony, the Commissioners determined that due to the complexity of the situation more
research is needed before action can be taken on this matter and will be reviewed again at a later date. See
Exhibit No. "195-25" in Exhibits to Commissioners' Minutes 2025.

consideration of backdating the homeowner's exemption for Skylar and Karen McManus for Parcel #

homeowners' exemption line. Therefore, the county had done due diligence to notify Mr. McManus.
