Idaho Code:
 31-705.  ELECTION OF CHAIRMAN. The members of the board of commissioners
must, at their first regular meeting on the second Monday of January next
after their election, elect a chairman from their number.

This appears to be for the mandated form of county government.  I don't know
if it is applicable to any of the optional board-type govts, and I must
confess ignorance of Latah county's current form.  It appears there were three
commissioners at the 21 September meeting.  If we have a regular three-member
board one of those three should probably be chairman.
