Board meetings and strategic plans from Canyon County
The meeting included discussions on new business, specifically updates regarding proposed transfer stations in Caldwell and Nampa. The Nampa station remains the priority, with Timber Creek exploring a public-private partnership, though permitting processes face delays. The committee also discussed the concept of out-of-county waste tonnage trades, particularly concerning haulers potentially bringing Kuna waste to the Canyon County Landfill due to lower disposal costs. Finally, the committee reviewed proposed fee schedules for FY 2027, including an increase to the minimum fee, a significant adjustment to the sheetrock rate, and several proposed increases for 'Hard to Handle' waste categories, such as agricultural waste and stumps/logs, aimed at increasing annual revenue.
The meeting included the approval of the current agenda and corrections to the July 2025 minutes. Committee leadership appointments were confirmed. New business centered on two major projects. An update on the gas-to-energy project indicated an estimated $600,000 cost from Idaho Power for system updates, with Intermountain Gas conducting a feasibility study expected by mid-February. Carbon Solutions Northwest presented Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) performance scenarios (V1 and V1a), detailing significant capital investment differences and projected returns; a recommendation was made to retain Grant Management Associates for incentive research but to withhold action pending the gas feasibility study results. The committee also reviewed and motioned to proceed with the draft Request for Proposal (RFP) for the RNG project, which allows developers to submit proposals for electric, RNG, or combined projects, while maintaining the current air permit process. Additionally, a discussion was held regarding proposed FY 2027 rate increases for waste disposal, targeting commercial waste fees, sheet rock disposal, and several hard-to-handle items to better align costs and encourage diversion.
The Board addressed several key issues, including employee status changes, a proposed fee increase for the Weed and Pest Department, and the adoption of a resolution authorizing the increase. They considered and approved a Statement of Work with OnePlan Solutions, LLC, to replace the current project management software. An Administrative Services Agreement between GEMPLAN and Blue Cross of Idaho Health Service, Inc., was discussed but postponed due to confusion on the rates. The board also discussed Caldwell's differing opinion on animal control responsibilities and IT acquisitions on the county network. Additionally, the board addressed matters related to the Board of Equalization, including tax assessment protests and adjustments to certified values. They considered the final plat for Flying Arrow Landing Subdivision and a release of Certificate of Non-compliance for a property on Harvey Rd. The board also discussed the FY2026 budget, including projects for the Sheriff's Office, the Pond Lane Female Detention Facility, and ARPA funds. A compensation proposal was reviewed, and the board discussed health trust expenses and potential compensation proposals for FY2026. The board also approved catering permits and discussed the purchase of a John Deere motor grader and Motorola Solutions 911 AXS Radio Consoles. They also considered Canyon County Fair Entertainment Agreements and a Talent Buyer Agreement. A legal notice for a public hearing to consider adopting revised Canyon County Recorder Fee Schedules was also discussed. Certificates of noncompliance for properties were considered, and matters related to Board of Equalization -- Assessor Homeowner Adjustments were addressed. The board also discussed engineering and surveying agreements, addendums to requests for proposals, appraisal agreements, and a resolution designating surplus property and authorizing the destruction of BWC Pro-Vision Cameras. An executive session was held to communicate with legal counsel regarding pending/imminently likely litigation. Updates were provided on DSD general business, and the board considered Canyon County's trademark/service mark renewal application. The board also discussed general issues with the HR Director, including Dayforce implementation. A meeting was held with the Board of Health Trustees to review potential options for medical, dental, vision, and life & disability. The board considered a resolution adopting changes to the job title and job description of one position in the Juvenile Probation Department and resolutions granting new and changed alcoholic beverage licenses. A public hearing was held to consider a request for a conditional rezone, and the board discussed FY2026 compensation proposals.
