Frei moves to make Brandt the representative for Idaho County for the Jt. Powers Agreement. Chmelik seconds. Motion carries with all in favor.
11:05 a.m. Mike Cook and Gene Meinen regarding Courthouse parking lot resurfacing. If this project was to be started from scratch the cost would be around $100,000. This will help keep the parking lot in better working condition for a longer period of time and will also be beneficial for the drainage by the handicap access. Meinen and Cook advise that an engineer would need to come in and survey the parking lot to get a more accurate cost and the procedures that will need to be done. The other option would be to just patch up the pot holes and reseal and paint which won’t last as long and would still cost somewhere from $50,000-$60,000. The long term, the most price efficient option is to start all over and do the job right. Brandt has concerns about spending that amount of money on the parking lot until a new roof is considered in budgeting.
11:25 a.m. Chmelik moves to go into Executive Session pursuant to Idaho Code 74-206(1)(f) litigation. Brandt seconds. Roll call- District1-yes, District 2-yes, District 3-yes.
12:10 p.m. Meeting adjourned.
