Heading: Boat Launch Fees

Text: The Cools argue the district court erred in failing to give them, rather than the Association's members, the right to determine whether boat launch fees would be paid on a daily basis or an annual basis. The issue of how boat launch fees would be assessed was not an issue in the first appeal, although the Cools did raise the issue of how automobile parking fees were to be assessed. The reason the issue of boat launch fees cannot be considered on this second appeal is because the Cools failed to raise it with the district court or on remand. The central function of the appeals process is the correction of error. Dominguez v. Evergreen Res., Inc., 142 Idaho 7, 14, 121 P.3d 938, 945 (2005). It is well established that in order for an issue to be raised on appeal, the record must reveal an adverse ruling which forms the basis for an assignment of error. Whitted, 137 Idaho at 121, 44 P.3d at 1176. In this case, even though the issue of launch fees was mentioned by this Court in Mountainview I the Cools never asked the district court to amend its judgment on that point. As a result, the Cools never invoked an adverse ruling on the question that could form the basis for an assignment of error on appeal. We therefore find no error by the district court on a question it was never asked to consider.
