and the Chief Deputy Clerk, Jackie Fuqua, were present.
HEALTH INSURANCE RENEWAL 2026
Jim Hawkins, with Columbia Benefits, couldn’t attend the meeting, however he participated via telephone. Commissioner 
Buhler made a motion to have Commissioner Bolduc sign the 2026 Health Insurance Renewal contract. Commissioner Eames 
seconded the motion. Motion carried.
LINCOLN COUNTY PROSECUTOR’S BUDGET
Prosecutor Misseldine discussed that he would like to create an extraordinary expenses case fund in which leftover budget 
money would roll into, for potential future high-cost cases in Lincoln County. He will draft a resolution to present to the board 
within the next couple weeks.
Commissioner Bolduc recessed the regular session and opened the Ambulance District meeting at 10:32 a.m.
AMBULANCE DISTRICT
Director Kepler couldn’t attend the meeting. Barbara Rivers gave an update on the status of the new ambulance. The graphics 
are still not right. She will continue to get updates. The new radios for the ambulances should be here by the fourth or fifth of 
January. The overhead door to the building hasn’t been fixed yet. They are waiting on parts.
Commissioner Bolduc adjourned the Ambulance District and reconvened the regular session at 10:48 a.m.
LICENSE PLATE READERS
Sheriff Gough asked if the county would purchase the Flock System Cameras. The cameras read license plates from a 
nationwide tracking system and would alert if there are any warrants associated with that number, or if the vehicle was stolen. 
There would be a total of seven cameras countywide, totaling $25,000 yearly. Gooding City would pay $3,500 for one, Bliss 
City would pay $4,000 for one, and Wendell City would pay $3,500 for one. Gooding County would pay $14,000 for the 
remaining four cameras to be placed at various other locations. It would take about six months to get the cameras up and 
running. Sheriff Gough will get a proposal to present at another meeting.
