It was decided to invite the Forest Service and to develop protocol between the parties to address the issues of the road during the winter. Sheriff Penner then discussed the possibility of using a company to handle prisoner transports when it’s a long distance. The Board agreed. Sheriff Penner then informed the Board that Idaho Fish and Game is applying for a grant to upgrade the Law Enforcement firearms range and has asked the county to provide “in-kind” work. The work would consist of Road and Bridge leveling a 12’ x 60’ piece of ground. The board approved the request and Mr. Fredrickson agreed to perform the work. Chris Fredrickson then advised the board that he will be interviewing for a mechanic trainee.

Planning and Zoning Administrator Gary Goodman informed the Board that Planning and Zoning will be conducting a public hearing on the 15th of March to consider changes to the Lemhi County Development Code.

IN THE MATTER OF GILMORE TOWNSITE

Dana Swift, Troy Saffold and Rob Hansen from DEQ appeared before the Board to discuss the results of the studies completed at the Town site last summer. Appearing by telephone were other Idaho Falls and Boise DEQ officials, representatives from EPA Idaho Operations office, the BLM Hazardous Materials Department and the Idaho Department of Lands. In May of 2016, they presented the board with an overview of concerns and its intention to study the area more closely. Ms. Swift reported that high

15 levels of lead and arsenic were found in the common areas and in the BLM owned property. They also tested 18 individual property owners and those results were sent directly to the property owner. They are providing landowners with health and safety information and there is a kiosk at the entrance informing the public. They will be continuing with testing this summer and have reached out the property owners. The board expressed a desire to be advised of future findings.

IN THE MATTER OF THE LANDFILL

The Board, Landfill Manager Scott Duncan and Attorney Bruce Withers discussed various aspects of the landfill. Mr. Duncan received approval to upgrade his computer and wireless capabilities at the landfill. The group then discussed an issue concerning the sale of items recycled from the landfill. The usual practice has been to get the going rate from companies who purchase and bail recyclable materials. Attorney Withers has advised the board that recyclables are personal property and subject to the bidding and advertising requirements of IC 31-808 or to a personal services contract as allowed in IC 31- 4403. It was determined that more research will be done into this matter. The group then discussed instituting the tipping fee for Lemhi Sanitation. Mr. Withers will prepare the franchise agreement between the county and Lemhi Sanitation. The group then discussed the transfer sites and possible changes to them.
