Chair Archie Yager said the appraisals assess economic feasibility and fair value, noting the project hinges on resident support and cost concerns. He warned delaying could raise future costs and that $25,000 now could unlock $190,000 in funds if acted on. Landowners have not yet replied to offers. Idaho Falls police report a 34 year old man died from injuries after a May 26 collision, bringing the 1970 Idaho traffic toll to 115. the victim was Juan Raniel of Menan.
