The board voted unanimously to reappoint Daniel Murphy, a fair board member, and Steve Wilder to the Expo Idaho advisory board; both terms were listed to expire Sept. 30, 2028. A motion to reappoint the two was moved and seconded and the board voted in favor.

In a public hearing the board adopted Resolution No. 3109, authorizing repayment of a Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) grant tied to Lady Bird Park. County presenters said the original federal grant funded improvements to Lady Bird Park decades earlier and that funds are being returned now because the county is using an alternate park area at Expo Idaho for ongoing recreation development. The board approved the resolution by voice vote.

The board also adopted Resolution No. 3110, a sole-source procurement resolution to continue using Tenex (10x) software for the county's 720 electronic poll book tablets; elections staff said the county and the Idaho Secretary of State are aligned on continued use of the vendor. The board adopted Resolution No. 3111 to sole-source integration software for the county's BlueCrest sorting/signature-verification machine (referred to in the meeting as \"Bessie\"). County staff said both systems have been tested and reviewed.

Resolution No. 3112, to convey two election shelving units (valued at about $900) from Ada County elections to Canyon County, was approved. Resolution No. 3113, adjusting the juvenile services income budget to reflect receipt of unscheduled revenue, was also adopted.

Several procurement items were not decided. The board retabled award of Bid No. 25069 (Sheriff uniforms) to allow staff time to analyze a protest filed by a bidder; the award was rescheduled for the board's Aug. 26 open business meeting. Similarly, the evaluation team asked for more time to complete reviews for RFP 25068 and the board tabled final ranking and award to the Aug. 26 meeting.

During a public bid opening the county opened bids for Bid No. 25070 (victim services stairs and courthouse front-entry stair replacement) and reported two responsive bids: Engineered Structures Inc., $335,651; and Optimum Build Group, $786,145. County staff said the total bid amount includes a $10,000 owner's contingency and an additive alternate (pavers instead of concrete) and requested time to review; the board tabled award to Aug. 26.

The board approved routine items including ratification of commercial-exhibit agreements and interim agreements, five Barber Park education-and-events agreements, a change order for public-records software, catering permits and new licenses, the claims journal for 08/15/2025, approval of minutes, five personnel actions, and the assessor's tax adjustments (72 cancellations listed as adjustments). The board also approved a workers' compensation stipulation and lump-sum settlement for case IC2023055214.

Commissioners heard brief reports from the treasurer about an upcoming presentation on public administration and from elections staff noting that members of the elections team are attending a national conference in Salt Lake City and that staff have been certified.
