Tax-collector staff explained the multi-step process used to reduce the number of properties headed to deed sale and recommended setting the auction date at roughly six months to provide owners an opportunity to redeem delinquent taxes. The staff said their office had reduced the list to five parcels and described parcel sizes ranging from narrow strips to one parcel of about 37.5 acres.

The commissioners adopted a motion combining the five parcels into a single auction and selected Nov. 3, 2025 as the auction date. The parcels were read into the record with the partial/parcel numbers provided by the tax-collector staff: RP003760010110; RP04N39E284990; RP05N36E316000; RPB00000324890; RPB02100050068. The clerk will publish required notices and the tax-collector’s office said it will send recorded tax deeds and explanatory letters to owners in advance of the sale to encourage redemption if possible.

Tax-collector staff said the office typically schedules such sales in July or August but suggested November provides more time to resolve issues while keeping momentum; commissioners agreed on the Nov. 3 date and asked staff to provide a 30-day update ahead of the auction.

The motion was seconded and approved by roll call.","mediaType","Audio","parentTitle","May 19, 2025 — Posted May 16, 2025 10:14 AM","oneSentenceSummary","After a presentation by the tax collector’s office, Jefferson County commissioners set a combined tax-deed auction for Nov. 3, 2025, covering five delinquent parcels, and asked staff to provide updates before the sale date.","taxTitle","Jefferson County, Idaho","taxId",52189,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":50,"_51":81,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":82,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":83,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6006985,"County seeks architect quote for solid-waste shop interior design and utilities",196,2430000,2626000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5824827-afd5f1e7a5b4ead31b4817c6d2e88258&start=2430&end=2626","/articles/6006985/Jefferson-County/Idaho/County-seeks-architect-quote-for-solid-waste-shop-interior-design-and-utilities","Jefferson County staff recommended the board engage MBW architects to produce interior design drawings for the county’s new solid-waste shop so the county can identify slab stub-ups, mechanical, electrical and plumbing needs.

Staff said MBW would produce drawings that define the location of stub-ups, electrical sizing, gas lines and data conduit, and would also perform required safety and code reviews. “It starts the whole chain of events,” staff said, noting the drawings would inform grading and foundation work and identify required bearing wall footings if a mezzanine or second-floor storage area is included.

Staff emphasized the county will request a price quote before engaging MBW; the board did not take final action to execute an agreement but directed staff to obtain the cost estimate and return. Staff estimated the design work could cost in the range of $6,000–$10,000, though the exact quote was pending.

The county indicated previous coordination with Scott Nelson (a recently retired NBW principal) and transition of responsibilities to another principal, and staff said they had met with solid-waste operators to develop the project program.

No contract was signed at the meeting; staff will request a formal MBW price proposal and then seek authorization to proceed according to the county’s procurement practices.","Staff recommended engaging MBW architects to design interior plumbing, electrical and mechanical systems for the new solid-waste shop; the board directed staff to obtain a price quote and return with cost details.",{"_33":85,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":86,"_41":87,"_43":88,"_45":89,"_47":90,"_49":50,"_51":91,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":92,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":93,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6006989,"Commissioners authorize signature on Mud Lake fair building contract once bonds, insurance provided",119,2292000,2411000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5824827-afd5f1e7a5b4ead31b4817c6d2e88258&start=2292&end=2411","/articles/6006989/Jefferson-County/Idaho/Commissioners-authorize-signature-on-Mud-Lake-fair-building-contract-once-bonds-insurance-provided","Jefferson County commissioners authorized Commissioner Hancock to sign the construction contract for the Mud Lake fair building once the apparent low bidder provides required bonds, insurance and other submittals.

County staff told the board the low bidder has been identified and that submission of bonding and insurance certificates remains outstanding. “We are still waiting for the bonds and the insurance information,” a county staff member said. The staff member asked the board to authorize a commissioner to sign the contract once the paperwork is complete so the project can move forward.

A commissioner moved to approve authority for Commissioner Hancock to sign the contract as soon as the low bidder supplies the required documents; another commissioner seconded the motion. The board completed a roll-call vote and approved the delegation.

Staff noted the bidder had met the criteria as the apparent low bidder and that final execution would follow receipt of the standard procurement submittals.

The proposals included a lower-cost two-part approach targeted at the jail and sheriff’s office and a combined bid covering all county buildings. Facilities staff said the combined option appeared to be cheaper and offered broader service. “We were paying $500 a month just for the sheriff,” a staff member said, then described proposals that, when combined, were still less expensive for complete coverage.

Staff compared Gem State (every-other-month application) and another vendor described as Spider Man (monthly application). “Spider Man’s suggesting once a month the way that we always have been doing it, which is cheaper. But the gem state is every other month … the gem state is actually a better deal,” facilities staff said. Contractors based in Pocatello and Idaho Falls had submitted bids; Mosquito Squad had also contacted staff and may provide a proposal.

Commissioners told staff to gather any outstanding bids and noted that, once procurement and contract details were in order, facilities could move forward under staff authority. One commissioner said, “We would have to make sure that we get the necessary contract in place. But you make the decision because it's within your preview, and I think that'd be fine.”

Staff also discussed eventual in-house application once county staff obtain licensing and noted jail-specific pesticide restrictions may affect product choice. Commissioners asked staff to return contract documents for signature once procurement submittals, insurance and bonding were verified.

No formal vote to award a multi-year contract was recorded; the board provided direction to proceed with vendor selection and contract execution subject to standard procurement checks.","County facilities staff reviewed bids for pest control across multiple county buildings and directed staff to obtain contracts and additional bids; commissioners agreed staff may proceed within their procurement authority.",{"_33":105,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":106,"_41":107,"_43":108,"_45":109,"_47":110,"_49":50,"_51":111,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":112,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":113,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6007000,"Commissioners waive building permit fee for Jefferson School District equipment room",109,321000,430000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5824827-afd5f1e7a5b4ead31b4817c6d2e88258&start=321&end=430","/articles/6007000/Jefferson-County/Idaho/Commissioners-waive-building-permit-fee-for-Jefferson-School-District-equipment-room","Jefferson County commissioners voted to waive a building permit fee for Jefferson School District 251 to allow construction of an equipment room at a school facility.

A commissioner moved to waive the building permit fee “for Jefferson School District 2 51 for their equipment room,” and another commissioner seconded the motion. The board took a roll-call vote and approved the waiver.

Planning staff explained the county has granted similar waivers in the past and noted the county needs to update its building code to explicitly list this type of permit waiver in the planning-zone regulations. “We just need to update the building code so that it's written in there. In the planning zone inside, it's written in the key stand, and we just haven't done it for the building site,” planning staff said. Staff indicated they expect to return to the board with any permit for the school's larger field house once the permit application is submitted.

Commissioners recorded no conditions on the waiver in the meeting discussion. The board completed the roll-call and moved on to other items.

The action applies to the single equipment-room permit before the board; any broader policy change would require the planning and legal process described by staff and future board action.","Jefferson County commissioners voted to waive the building permit fee for an equipment room constructed for Jefferson School District 251 and discussed updating building code language to cover similar future projects.",{"_33":115,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":116,"_41":117,"_43":118,"_45":119,"_47":120,"_49":50,"_51":121,"_53":-5,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":122,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":123,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6007004,"County OKs donated PTO to cover employee medical leave",88,147000,235000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5824827-afd5f1e7a5b4ead31b4817c6d2e88258&start=147&end=235","/articles/6007004/Jefferson-County/Idaho/County-OKs-donated-PTO-to-cover-employee-medical-leave","Jefferson County commissioners approved a one-time donation of 60 hours of paid time off on a motion during their meeting.

And employee ID 687 is donating 30 hours. Employee 596 is donating 20 hours, and employee 603 is donating 10,” the staff member said.

A commissioner moved to approve the PTO transfer and another commissioner seconded the motion; the board then completed a roll-call vote and the transfer was approved. The staff member said the recipient will be out “for a couple weeks” and that donors must retain at least 80 hours of PTO after donating.

The commissioners did not make changes to county PTO policy on the record; the action documented in the minutes was the one-time approval of the specific transfers described above.
