a brief discussion of the items on the list which have no historical value. There was no
further discussion and the motion passed.
Proposed Budget Schedule: Elizabeth explained the schedule changes from last year and
noted that the Monday, May 25th meeting had previously been cancelled. She stated that
to keep with the aggressive budget schedule, she had proposed a meeting on Tuesday,
May 26th. Elizabeth did point out that Monday, May 11th the department heads will
present their major needs for the future, but Mark Korsen will not be able to attend due to
a BLM training for his department that same night. There was discussion on whether
council would like the major needs requests again this year and consensus was that they
are an important piece of the budget process. There was also discussion about several
meetings that individual council members would not be able to attend due to conflicts;
but a quorum would still be present for each meeting. It was agreed the budget schedule
Review of Compliance with General Fund Reserve Policy & Utility Fund Working
Capital Policy: Elizabeth reminded council that both policies were written last year and
that the policies stated that they would be reviewed each year at budget time. Elizabeth
noted that the general fund reserve is above the 17% as was set in the policy but
Elizabeth didn’t see any reason to reduce the amount currently in the fund. It was
discussed that the 17% was the basement and the lowest it should go. She also updated
council on the Seneca tax valuation appeal matter; there have been discussions between
Seneca and Twin Falls County and the one piece that is still being worked out is a 35%
annual obsolescence factor on the new freezer portion. A trial date was rescheduled for
May 13th in case a compromise could not be made; but everyone was hopeful it could be
worked out without a trial.
The utility fund working capital policy was also reviewed and Elizabeth explained how
the three month balance was figured from using the entire year’s income divided by 12
then multiplied by 3. As she explained, the year has a cycle and the summer months are
higher than the winter so she used the entire year’s figures. She added that the fund
balance was close to what was targeted from the last year. The Bond Savings Transfer
reserve fund is building but some of those funds are committed to current projects.
Discussion of Donated Artwork: Barbara Martin from Coos Bay, Oregon had sent a
packet of color photographs of artwork her husband had done. Gan Martin was born in
and raised in Buhl. His grandfather was Mayor of Buhl in 1937. At this time his wife had
offered to donate some of Gan’s artwork to the city. The proposed artwork was presented
to Council and four were chosen; “The Elephant,” “Cabin in the Woods,” “Small Red
Tree,” and “Cattle Grazing.”
COUNCIL CONCERNS – Michael questioned the events of the fire meeting the previous
Monday night. There was a discussion concerning signage that had gone up on the Buhl
Rural Fire Protection property. There was further discussion about signage that will be
installed on the fire station and that will be paid for out of the Fire Donation Fund. There was
also discussion concerning the ventilation system in the bays. Tom stated he had talked to
Andrew Stevens and also Mark Korsen about the current system that was never finished and
wondered about the cost of having Quigley’s come in and finish it. It was stated the current
system is not fully used and if money is going to be put into system then it needs to be used.
Kyle brought up a concern about the laptops that council had been provided. He asked if
tablets would be better utilized. Consensus was they would not be used. It was discussed that
the laptops would be better used by other departments than sitting in someone’s office or
MEETING ADJOURNED – Kyle Hauser moved that the meeting be adjourned, Pam
McClain seconded the motion and all were in favor. The meeting was adjourned at 6:41 PM.

I

Despite what anyone
thinks, the economy has not improved
enough to warrant this new spending. One case in point: Buhl School District
Second point is that
recreation is already happening and supported in the
communities by churches, summer camps, youth groups,
service clubs, and volunteers--all without more debt and suppressing taxation.
Community meeting areas are also graciously provided locally.

We want fewer
government employees.
·
We want to choose
our own recreation/entertainment.
·
We need to reduce taxes.

We
oppose socialism.
1. Paying off the High School Bonds should be the priority, not a new TAX ENTITY. The swimming pool in recent years underwent remodeling.
2. The district fully intends to LOSE MONEY! Low estimate is about $200,000 per year!
While NO EXACT PLAN has been presented for a new pool and rec facilities, they are asking us, the investors, aka “taxpayers”, to give them almost $200,000.00! No wise investor would willingly invest this way. Taxpayers have NO CHOICE if it passes; you pay yearly!
3. Failure to create the district has NOTHING to do with the Boys and Girls Club deciding whether or not to continue. Citing the Boys and Girls Club is a ploy.
4. Creating the district may facilitate government going into competition with private businesses, particularly the local gyms and
5. You will pay for the pool and other facilities TWICE! You will pay taxes for its upkeep but IN ADDITION you will pay District membership fees. Paying taxes is not a pass!
6. This may be the first vote of two. The second vote may be for a bond, another tax, in November for raising money to build a pool and rec facilities. It requires a 2/3 majority. What if that fails? There is no mention of a contingency.

Financial Fraud
Oklahoma Pastor Embezzled Nearly $1 Million from Community Center
Oklahoma Pastor Embezzled Nearly $1 Million from Community Center
05/15/15
The long-time pastor of the Greater Cornerstone Baptist Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma was recently sentenced to 37 months in prison for embezzling close to $1 million from a community center he helped establish to aid the church’s struggling neighborhood.
Willard Leonard Jones essentially had an “open checkbook” for the church and community center accounts, said Special Agent Kevin Legleiter, who investigated the case with Forensic Accountant Janetta Maxwell from the FBI’s Oklahoma City Division. The two have partnered on financial fraud investigations for 20 years, and after following the paper trail in this case, there was no doubt of the reverend’s criminal activity.
Forensic Accountants Follow the Money
In complex financial fraud investigations, FBI agents have an invaluable resource—the Bureau’s core of forensic accountants. These highly trained professionals are located in all 56 field offices and are experts at following the money.
The relationship between agents and forensic accountants “is a vital partnership,” said Special Agent Kevin Legleiter, who relied on Forensic Accountant Janetta Maxwell in the Willard Leonard Jones investigation and has partnered with her for two decades in other financial fraud investigations.
The Bureau’s forensic accounting program was established in 2009 to advance the FBI’s financial investigative capabilities. There are more than 500 forensic accountants in the program, and nearly half are certified public accountants. Many have additional training such as being certified fraud examiners.
Besides the ability to analyze complex financial records and documents, forensic accountants can testify to their findings in court and assist investigators in many other ways. “As a forensic accountant, I have the ability to issue subpoenas and conduct interviews,” Maxwell said.

“People trusted him and assumed he was doing the right thing,” Legleiter said. Instead, Jones used approximately $933,000 of community center money for his personal benefit—to pay his mortgage, buy luxury items like a Rolex watch, and to live a lavish lifestyle that included gambling and expensive hotel accommodations.
In 2004, Jones had the idea to build a community center not far from his church in a disadvantaged West Tulsa neighborhood called South Haven. The center would bring health care, a food and clothing bank, and other resources to the community. As the executive director of the Greater Cornerstone Community Development Project, Jones solicited donations from foundations, corporations, churches, and individuals—and raised about $7 million.
“It was his vision,” Maxwell said. “He started the project and raised funds for it.” But as the money came in, Jones began transferring funds from community center bank accounts to church bank accounts—and then transferred funds into his personal accounts.
After the center was completed in 2012, Jones went to the board of directors and said he needed more money. Surprised by the lack of funds, the board sought an audit and learned about center funds being transferred into church accounts. Jones said he did that to get a tax exempt status for some of the contractors. When the board asked to audit the church accounts, Jones refused, and the board filed a police report.
The FBI was asked to assist in the investigation. Legleiter and Maxwell began a painstaking look at the financial transactions involved over a six-year period. In one account alone, Maxwell said, there were 10,000 entries that needed to be analyzed.
In 2013, Jones was charged federally with three counts of wire fraud and one count of filing a false tax return. Federal charges were brought because in the process of transferring funds from the center to the church and then to his own accounts, the funds were routed electronically through another state.
“When there is an interstate wire transfer that involves fraud,” Legleiter explained, “the FBI has jurisdiction over that. We also partnered with the IRS because if, in fact, Jones received money that he didn’t claim on his taxes, that would be a tax violation.”
Ultimately, Jones admitted that from 2007 to 2013, he misappropriated the funds and also failed to report nearly $400,000 to the IRS. He was sentenced to prison in January.
Legleiter and Maxwell said a lack of internal controls on the part of the church and the community center enabled the embezzlement to go on for so long. Today, the community center—a beautiful facility that sits in the shadow of the Greater Cornerstone Baptist Church—is largely empty because there are no funds to operate it.

Gun Club. Bill and Regie commented that there was a lease between the city and the snooker
players. Pam expressed appreciation for the listing.
Discussion of Cell Tower Lease: Karen explained the proposed lease that was included in the
council packets was 3 years in the making. She explained the current lease is for the land under
the cell tower and the control room. It is currently for $1.00 per year. In August of 2013 she sent
AT&T an invoice for 9 years of power which should have been paid based on the current lease.
As of last week a check in the amount of $20,920.48 was received to pay for the power usage.
Since August 2013 Karen has been billing them monthly for the power usage which is paid
within the month. Karen explained the proposed lease was for $1500.00 per month with a 3%
increase each year. The amount for the lease had been achieved by guidance from SIRCOMM.
Michael questioned if we risk losing them at that price. Karen stated AT&T made no counter
offer and as of that afternoon had confirmation that AT&T had signed the lease and mailed it to
the city to complete the signatures. Kyle moved to authorize the mayor to sign the lease when
received. Pam seconded the motion. There was no further discussion and the motion passed.
Discussion regarding City’s portion of excess Joint Fire Protection Funds: Elizabeth explained
the discussion about the excess funds that are currently split between the Buhl Rural Fire
Protection District and the City of Buhl at the end of the fiscal year. Currently the city portion
goes back into the general fund. She stated she had discussed it with the auditors and there would
just need to be a motion by council to earmark those funds to a savings account. Michael stated
the Joint Management Agreement states it is strongly encouraged to save those funds. Kyle
questioned if all departments excess go back into the general fund. Elizabeth explained that yes
the other departments excess does go back for those that are budgeted out of the general fund.
Michael stated the city is different from the district because of the other departments that pull
from the general fund. There was discussion about years that were short on funds and the good
years where money could possibly be saved. There was also discussion about the future
purchases that the department will need and items that would make the building more viable for
the future. Elizabeth stated the motion would need to be made every year. There was discussion
of the timing and whether to look at the current year or address it in the next budget year. Mayor
McCauley stated a concern about the potential future manipulation of future budgets years to
increase that savings balance. Michael stated Mark had brought by information about the cost of
the ventilation system and the current quote would be $53,574.00. There was discussion about
the fact that if the money is needed in a certain department that it could be used there if the
council thought the need was over any other department. Consensus was this would be a future
A recess was taken from 9:00 PM to 9:05 PM.
Set Budget Hearing Date: Elizabeth stated she needed to inform the county of the budget date by
April 30th. She added that health insurance renewal information will not be available until July
15th or so. After some general discussion about budget timeframe Kyle moved to set the budget
hearing for August 10, 2015, at 7:00 PM. Pam seconded the motion. There was no discussion
Association of Idaho Cities Spring Workshop & Annual Conference: It was discussed that no
one would be attending the Spring Workshop. The Annual Conference in June was confirmed for
June 10-12. Attendees would be Mayor McCauley, Sue and Regie.
Administration Surplus Items for Disposal: After explanation from Mayor McCauley about the
upgrade to the phone system and the current pile of old phones in city hall the request was to sell
or throw the excess away. Michael moved to try and donate or throw away the items. Pam
seconded the motion. There was no discussion and the motion passed.
ICDBG Project Bid Approval: Scott Bybee explained that this is phase 3 of sewer line
replacement project. He explained there were two bidders; the component of pipe bursting limits
the number of contractors that can do the job. Scott explained the bid sheet he had handed out to
council members and that Walton Construction was the low bidder and Cascade came in about
$10,000.00 over Walton’s bid. Scott explained they would be happy with either company. He did
explain that Walton’s equipment isn’t as new as Cascade but they are more that capable of doing

AT&T an invoice for 9 years of power which should have been paid based on the current lease.

within the month. Karen explained the proposed lease was for $1500.00 per month with a 3%
increase each year. The amount for the lease had been achieved by guidance from SIRCOMM.

the other departments excess does go back for those that are budgeted out of the general fund.

from the general fund. There was discussion about years that were short on funds and the good
years where money could possibly be saved. There was also discussion about the future
purchases that the department will need and items that would make the building more viable for
the future. Elizabeth stated the motion would need to be made every year. There was discussion
of the timing and whether to look at the current year or address it in the next budget year. Mayor
McCauley stated a concern about the potential future manipulation of future budgets years to
increase that savings balance. Michael stated Mark had brought by information about the cost of
the ventilation system and the current quote would be $53,574.00. There was discussion about
the fact that if the money is needed in a certain department that it could be used there if the
council thought the need was over any other department. Consensus was this would be a future

council members and that Walton Construction was the low bidder and Cascade came in about
$10,000.00 over Walton’s bid. Scott explained they would be happy with either company. He did
explain that Walton’s equipment isn’t as new as Cascade but they are more that capable of doing
the job. Council was also informed the Urban Renewal Agency had approved the bids since a
portion of the matching funds were their funds. Scott explained the work would begin the first

Sheriff Of Twin Falls County Has A Message
As sheriff of Twin Falls County I strive to keep this office proficient, friendly, and at the top of our game. We consistently train our Deputies to maintain the very best quality of staff. By being well trained, they are confident in their abilities and provide the service and professionalism expected by the citizens of this county.
Many programs have been implemented which continue to keep our department in a position to best serve our citizens. My unwavering vision and commitment for all local law enforcement agencies to work together as a team has continued by swearing in all city officers in the county as Special Deputies. By doing this, it ensures that jurisdictional issues will not prevent law enforcement from protecting and serving the citizens in Twin Falls County as a whole.
Due to the recent influx of school shootings around the nation, full time school resource officers are now working with the schools to provide the necessary training to prevent such tragedies from occurring here. We continue to use a Community Resource Unit (CRU) which works closely with the school resource officers. In addition, the CRU offers training to any and all community groups in drug education, drug trends, drug identification, traffic safety and self-defense while stressing the importance of staying vigilant of what’s happening around them.
Our canine program is strong as ever! We continue to use the dogs to combat drug use in the area. I strongly believe K9 not only protects the deputy but gives our department an edge on fighting crime. Our narcotic deputies work long hours to make an effort to keep drugs out of our communities.
We at the sheriff’s office have remained fiscally responsible every year since I have taken office. The senior staff meets weekly to scrutinize the spending of tax dollars and have given money back to the Board of County Commissioners every budget year.
My vision for jail programs to help inmates to get on the right track to again become productive members of the community is becoming reality. With the implementation of GED and drug counseling programs we continue to make rehabilitation and security a top priority.
I have worked closely with the Employee Council of Twin Falls County and together we have implemented a wellness program for the county employees. This gives them the opportunity to improve their health and hopefully save money on insurance premiums.
It has been my passion since taking office to do my part to protect the citizens of our county. Recently, I worked to create legislation by passing a law that would enhance penalties for those who victimize our elderly citizens. My goal was to give our seniors the peace of mind they deserve. By passing such legislation, I wanted to send a message that senior abuse would not be tolerated and would be punished to the fullest extent possible. I have vowed to make changes to the purposed bill and continue to try getting it made into Idaho Law.
In closing, it is my honor to represent the people of this county. I promise to continue to keep the sheriff’s office going in a positive direction while doing our part in making Twin Falls County a great place to live and raise a family.
