The Franklin County Commissioners on April 27 adopted amendments to the county Development Code and Subdivision Ordinance, awarded multiple contracts and approved routine business during a meeting that ran from 9:00 a.m. to 11:58 a.m.
Zan Bowles moved to adopt the Development Code and Subdivision Ordinance amendments discussed at a public hearing on April 17; Zach Stewart seconded and the vote was unanimous, formally placing the revised land-use rules into effect.
Road and Bridge Director Troy Moser reported five bids for the Treasureton Road Improvement project. The bids were Staker Parsons $157,205; Facer Excavation $120,142; BSC Excavation $113,700; Bear River Rock Products $74,050; and DA Contracting $69,750. Zach Stewart moved to accept the $69,750 bid from DA Contracting; Zan Bowles seconded and the motion passed unanimously. Moser said work would not begin until the end of May and only after the contractor provides required paperwork and a 125% performance bond.
For Oxford Park maintenance, two bids were received: Altitude Construction Services ($1,500) and Zach Cox ($1,000). Commissioner Zach Stewart moved to accept the $1,000 bid from Zach Cox; Zan Bowles seconded and the vote was unanimous.
The board also ratified a Bancorp lease agreement for sheriff vehicles on a unanimous motion by Zach Stewart with a second from Zan Bowles. Other routine items approved included the agenda, payment of bills, and approval of minutes from April 13 and April 17; those motions were moved by Zach Stewart and seconded by Zan Bowles and carried unanimously.
The Historical Society reported receiving a $2,500 America 250 grant that the society plans to use during county celebrations. Commissioners approved a Fair Housing Proclamation required for a Senior Center grant after a presentation by Kate Selvage of the Southeastern Idaho Council of Governments (SICOG). The board also approved a Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Factor Analysis for the Senior Center grant after SICOG reported census data showing about 1.3% of residents speak English less than very well; the county currently uses bilingual staff, allows residents to bring translators and provides Google Translate on its website.
The meeting adjourned at 11:58 a.m. The next regular meeting is scheduled for May 11, 2026.
