-Bank of the West building purchase: Thayer reported that the county is still waiting for a due diligence item - an environmental study that will cost about $2500. Will be a special meeting to discuss (preferably next week). The county is in negotiations with seller. (Editorial comment: if you are a concerned citizen but can't attend this meeting, email your commissioners with your opinion about purchasing this building).
-Employee Handbook: Dianna Hiatt of Human Resources commented about how our hard-working county employees are often criticized, and they need positive feedback. Will be another work session to go over red-lined proposed employee handbook, then a review with Mountain States Employers.
-Update of Zoning Regulations/Patches: Kyle Fenner reported on specific patches (lot line adjustment, XX zoning, and undefined PUDs). Also need to standardize referral times.
-ORR Policy: Wade Gateley reported that bill passed, not signed yet by governor. Will work with IT on improvements for searchability on county website. If the info is on the website, county doesn't have to respond to request (will advise citizens to look on website).
-Policy on Public Improvement Districts/Local Improvement Districts: enables neighborhoods to make improvements through bonds/loans, etc. Gateley will set up a study session.
-Waver of application fees for SUR Special Event: county has no tool for issuing permits for temporary events; county needs to be more responsive to needs.
-Appointments policy: still a work in progress.
