Board meetings and strategic plans from Blaine County
The meeting focused on reviewing the proposed budget for the Coroner's office, specifically the transition to a county-operated model with discussions on staffing, compensation, and operational costs. The Sheriff’s department budget was reviewed, with a focus on a shift to three-year vehicle leasing and increased funding for jail programs. Additionally, the Board discussed the fiscal treatment of the Ohio Gulch Sprinkler Replacement Project, directing that it be consolidated within the Recycling Fund.
The board discussed the FY27 working budget, focusing on structural balance, reserve policies, and capital needs. A market increase for employee compensation was set at 3%. The board reviewed requests for several new positions, approving the Election Clerk and seasonal Noxious Weed employee roles, while declining the School Resource Officer and Court Clerk positions. Other topics included the review of community service contracts and the potential annexation of the Flying Hat Ranch (Blaine Crossing), for which the board decided to postpone sending a formal comment letter.
The board discussed strategic priorities for the FY27 ambulance service, including service expansion at Greenhorn, levy sustainability, and regional coordination. Actions taken included approving a grant commitment letter for Sun Valley Economic Development, authorizing a new medical office building project, and appointing a member to the Land, Water, and Wildlife Levy Advisory Board. The board also deliberated on policy regarding county-funded training for political candidates.
