Manning Crevice Bridge on Salmon River – Federal Highways is about to cancel project and close bridge because they don’t want ownership.  Wants Idaho County to take ownership of the bridge.  Mike Cook states maintenance on bridge will be expensive for whoever owns it, but may not need repairs for a long time.

The owners are in a hurry to get a loan.   Zehner recommends the ordinance be changed to a broader description of who can be a home inspector because many home inspectors are not state certified.   Discussion.  Rockwell suggests approving signature along with something in writing to free Idaho County of any liability.
