***Monday, August 23, 2010, Commissioners met in regular session with Commissioner Dan Dinning, Commissioner Walt Kirby, and Deputy Clerk Michelle Rohrwasser. Chairman Ron Smith was out of the office.
Commissioner Kirby moved to appoint Commissioner Dinning Acting Chairman in the absence of Chairman Ron Smith. Commissioner Dinning second. Motion passed unanimously.
9:00 a.m., Road and Bridge Superintendent Jeff Gutshall joined the meeting to give the departmental report. A written report was provided. Mr. Gutshall briefly discussed issues he is having with the crusher.
Mr. Gutshall presented Commissioners with the 2010 Roosevelt Project document summary.
Commissioner Kirby moved to authorize the Acting Chairman to sign the Local Rural Highway Investment Program (LRHIP) 2010 Project Documentation Summary for the Moyie Highway (Roosevelt Road), Key #09263, Pavement Rehabilitation (3.6 miles) totaling $1,385,000. Acting Chairman yielded the chair to second. Motion passed unanimously.
Mr. Gutshall said he attended a pre-work conference on the Deep Creek paving project and many participants were there including Ruen-Yeager & Associates and David Evans & Associates. The project schedule submitted was to do soft spot repair and shoulder work this week, but that was set back as the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) has to review matters at the headquarter level rather than the local level. Mr. Gutshall said the contactor has to publish the public notice and people will be available for flagging. Mr. Gutshall said phase II of this project consists of three miles and a larger part of this project will be completed in the second and third weeks in September.
Mr. Gutshall said when referring to phase II, this phase will go to bid this fall and there isn’t time to get any opinions for that meeting. This phase may be bid this fall, but it won’t be paved until next spring. Mr. Gutshall said he thought about printing an article about this process.
Mr. Gutshall said he has looked into the issue of the easement on Crescent Road, but he hasn’t heard back from anyone. There hasn’t been maintenance at that location for some time. Acting Chairman Dinning said his question is if there would be any advantage to getting an easement. Mr. Gutshall said if anyone ever developed that area he would advise leaving it incumbent on the developer to take care of. Mr. Gutshall said he doesn’t see an advantage at this point.
Mr. Gutshall briefly explained how he would like to participate in the surplus auction.
9:25 a.m., Clerk Glenda Poston joined the meeting.

9:40 a.m., Clerk Poston left the meeting.
Commissioner Kirby moved to authorize the Acting Chairman to sign the Assurances and Grant Documents for the Idaho Department of Lands Copper Prairie Hazardous Fuels Treatment through Inland Forest Management. Acting Chairman Dinning yielded the chair to second. Motion passed unanimously.
10:00 a.m., Solid Waste Superintendent Claine Skeen joined the meeting.
Mr. Skeen and Commissioners discussed the Take It or Leave It event. Mr. Skeen said last year he received a letter from this organization stating their members wanted to lease the covered area at the landfill, but this time landfill equipment is housed there. As an alternative, the Take It or Leave It group expressed interest in using the fairgrounds again, but the Fair Board Secretary wasn’t in favor of that as it gives people the idea to have their yard sales there. Mr. Skeen said last year this event was held at the fairgrounds in between the restrooms and the barbershop and he couldn’t think of any other location to hold this event.
Mr. Skeen said he needed clarification on surplus county property as the landfill has old tire and rims for the skidsteer that aren’t of any use. The tires aren’t any good, but the rims could possibly be used, according to Mr. Skeen.
Mr. Skeen said he is looking at October 1, 2010 to begin co-mingling recyclables, but he will know more details about the middle of September.
Mr. Skeen left the meeting at 10:05 a.m.
