Commissioner Smith joined LHTAC in June of 2007. He was elected as Secretary/Treasurer in June of 2009. After that he served as Vice Chairman starting in June 2010 and the following year LHTAC Chairman beginning in June 2011.

Commissioner Smith has been a valuable addition to the Council, bringing leadership whether or not he was in an executive position. He always brought a fair and objective voice to meetings regarding scoring applications, awarding emergency funds and actions that lead to future policies. His considerate approach and concern for the Local Highway Jurisdictions of Idaho will be sorely missed.
