Hearing tonight for
subdivision infrastructure
BY DAVID PECK
Phase I of the Town of Lovell/Lovell
Inc. project to demolish the old hospital
on 10 Street and replace it with a senior
housing project is well under way, and now
the town is working to fund Phase II: in-
frastructure for the future housing devel-
opment.
The Lovell Town Council discussed a
resolution authorizing the town to seek a
grant for housing infrastructure during
a special meeting Monday night ahead
of a public hearing scheduled for tonight
(Thursday) at 7 p.m. at town hall.
In recent weeks the town has taken
steps to take ownership of the 10 Street
property where the old North Big Horn
Hospital lies by replatting the existing
lot, getting subdivision approval and fil-
ing the plat and deed, Lovell Inc. Director
Sue Taylor said. The town also signed the
grant agreement to receive some $491,000
in Community Development Block Grant
money from the Wyoming Business Coun-
cil that was awarded a year earlier.
The land for the housing project was
donated to the town by Elder Care, Inc.,
which retained 20,000 square feet on the
west side of the the property for future con-
sideration.
The next step is asbestos abatement,
and Taylor said Northern Industrial Hy-
giene of Billings, who did the preliminary
asbestos inspection as part of the grant ap-
plication process, will be contracted with
to perform the balance of the inspection
in March. The company will then help the
town select an abatement contractor via a
bid, and Taylor said the goal would be to
perform the abatement during April.
The demolition contract is tentatively
scheduled to be awarded at the May town
council meeting after going out to bid in
April. Demolition should begin in May,
Taylor said, and could take 60 days to com-
plete.
PHASE II
As for Phase II, tonight's public hear-
ing will allow the town to pass a resolu-
tion authorizing the town to seek a CDBG
grant through the U.S. Dept. of Housing
and Urban Development, Taylor said, not-
ing that in the case of a town the size of
Lovell, the grant will be awarded by the
Wyoming Business Council.
The town is seeking a grant for
$496,449, matched by $59,563 in cash and
in-kind consideration, for a total project of
$556,012. Taylor said the cash match of
$22,783 includes money already expended
for engineering and preparing plat docu-
ments; title insurance, title document
preparation and filing fees; and money
expended on the Lovell Housing Assess-
ment.
The in-kind match of $36,780 is the
estimated fair market value of the proper-
ty for the 2.45 acre piece of land the town
will contribute to the housing project.
If and when funded, the grant will
pay for curb and gutter, street, alley, side-
walk, water and sewer, and public utility
lines - electric, gas and telephone - that
will be run to the site.
Taylor told the council Monday that
the housing assessment stated in detail
the need for senior housing in Lovell and
will provide valuable information for the
grant application.
She said the business council will
make its final decision on May 24 for proj-
ects in the current funding cycle, noting
that there is about $2 million available
and around $4 in grant requests.
After discussion of the resolution, the
council considered and voted to approve
and authorize the mayor to sign a Title I
Certification of Applicant stating that the
town will comply with all of the provisions
of Title I of the Housing and Community
Development Act of 19"/4 in order to re-
ceive CDBG money for the housing project.

ents' right to control deci-
sions for their children.
"We wanted them to
know that we are against
any law that takes away a
parent's right to discipline
their children and to make
them accountable," said
Harvey.
"I think the resolutions
are symbolic for the most
part, but when they get
enough of them t, they pay
attention," she said.
A bill that sought to end
the state's universal vac-
cine-buying program was
rejected because it was not
found to be cost effective.
Harvey explained that the
method the state currently

uses to buy vaccines and re-
distribute the vaccines to
public health agencies and
doctors is cost effective be-
cause buying in volume was
less expensive and buying
in bulk assured that chil-
dren throughout the state
would have good access to
vaccines.
A bill passed the House
that would require welfare
recipients to submit to ran-
dom drug testing in order to
qualify for benefits.
"This bill in particular
is something people have
asked me for," said Harvey.
Harvey explained that
the bill won't take benefits
away from children if a par-
ent tests positive for drugs,
but it will mean that a fiscal
agent is appointed to pay
directly for rent, utilities,
personal items and clothing
on behalf of the child. The
idea is to push people into
treatment and recovery so
they can live more produc-
tive lives, she said.
An interesting bill call-
ing for the formation of a
contingency government
and military operation gov-
erned by the state in the
event of a federal govern-
ment collapse was rejected.
"HB85 died on third
reading. It had the poten-
tial of being good policy for
emergency preparedness,
but because of some of the
amendments, it failed,"
said Harvey.
The House will contin-
ue its work for the next few
weeks. All of the bills ap-
proved by the House must
be approved by the Senate
before going to the Gover-
nor for signature.

He loved his carrots and cu-
cumbers from his garden.
He tended carefully to his
gardening, never letting a
weed grow unless he was
sick.
Glenn would spend
hours tying his own flies
for his kids and grandkids.
He would always say, "You
couldn't be part of this fam-
ily unless you know h0 to
fly fish!"
He was an avid httnt-
er. The family has many
memories of hunting sto-
ries with both his kids and
grandkids. His dry sense of
humor continued to bring
joy to all those around.
Glenn retired in 189
