BCC Makes Public Hearing Approvals, Personnel Policy Manual Revisions

The County Commissioners approved an ordinance amending County land from Farm to Residential, and amended the zoning map from Farm Resource to Rural Residential and Goal Exception during their weekly business session.

The subject property is identified as Tax Lot 1400, owned by Rose Butte LLC. A second Public Hearing was held at the 9 a.m. meeting, with the board approving 3-0 the adoption of a supplemental budget and the making of appropriations for Fiscal Year 2026-27.

The board was unanimous in approval of two board orders regarding Personnel Policy Manual Revisions for Travel and Hiring. Pre-authorization for overnight travel only would be required, with the revision allowing for pre-authorization for regular meetings within the state. Hiring revisions will require position vacancies be advertised nationwide or as widely as possible, and detailed background and criminal checks prior to hiring.

A public hearing regarding the District Attorney and Various Fees was set for September 16th, 2026. Topics brought to the board during public comment included education in the community, appreciation for packet releases to the public, radio infrastructure in the County, and horseracing concerns. The consent calendar was approved, and the meeting adjourned.
