Jay Sila, Idaho Dept. of Lands, re: Service Flats Road – from their prospective the road is public – they have an easement through Blewett’s that was given by a previous owner. Anyone that wants an easement of state endowment land has got to pay a compensation, if it changes the use of the endowment land. Department of Lands is requiring 1% of the sale per lot. Discussion followed. Kirk does not think the county has the authority to grant an easement, though he would like to look in to it more. The money would go into the endowment fund which is for schools, prisons etc. – the state has no intention of closing this road. The state has maintained the road since the 70’s. The new property owners will have to get easements with each entity – power – utility etc. Discussion as to how the state reads the contract about the 1% fee and how Blewett is reading the contract has caused some confusion. More research will be done.
2:05 p.m. Solid Waste Ordinance #58 hearing. Kirk fixed a few things on the ordinance and then the commissioners signed.
Adam Green and Kirk MacGregor gave update on Hagle Herd District case – county lost –Judge Calhoun said there was no written ordinance for the herd district – Adam has done some research and found ordinances were not issued at the time the herd district was formed. Adam will file a motion for reconsideration – will appeal to Judge Bradbury if necessary.
Area of Impact – Joe Wright, Brian Lorentz, Wes Lester, Adam Green, Kirk MacGregor. Discussion followed of where they left off last time – building permits is in question. Skip does not want building permits. Another meeting is planned for November 3, 2009.
The Board adjourned at 5:00 p.m.
