MINUTES OF THE BIG HORN COUNTY COMMISSION
MEETING
NAME: Big Horn County Commission
TYPE: Regular Session
PLACE: Big Horn County Courthouse Commissioner's Cham-
bers
DATE: July 1, 2014 TIME: 9:00 AM
Chairman: Jerold S. Ewen, Members present: Keith Grant, John
Hyde
Others County Representatives: Lori Smallwood County Clerk;
List of attendees on file.
The meeting was called to order at 9:00 AM by Chairman Ewen;
followed by the Pledge of Allegiance led by Keith Grant. Chairman
Ewen recognized guests and presented the agenda. A motion was
made by Hyde to accept the agenda as amended; the motion was
seconded and carried.
Engineering/Road and Bridge: Wambeke and Hovey reported
the purchase of excavators and the time already saved on a culvert
installation. Hovey presented a utility permit for Road 42 and recom-
mended approval. Wambeke presented and recommended approval
of an access permit for road 6. Hyde moved to approve both the utility
and access permits as presented, the motion was seconded and car-
fled. Grant asked about the cattle guard and no gate issue on the
WYDOT Highway 32 project. Grant requested that Bridges draft a
second letter for Commissioner signature expressing the concerns
over that project. Hyde ask Bridges about road 111/2 and the concern
over right of way, and speed on that road. Bridges said speed bumps
are hard to maintain on a dirt road and he doesn't recommend that.
The documents will be pulled, reviewed and an update given to the
Commission. Hyde expressed asked how that right of way was deter-
mined. Bridges suggested getting the road committee back together
to try to address some of the continuing concerns. Bridges present-
ed a BLM right of way renewal application for roads 955, 956, 957.
Hyde moved to sign the renewal application as presented, the motion
was seconded and carried. Bridges gave a summary of WYDOTs
bridge assessments and highlighted issues that were noted and need
attention. Nothing was noted as critical and Bridges was pleased with
the report.
Joy Hill presented information on a WYOBEN flood plain devel-
opment and discussed how the new flood plain regulations relate to
that project. Both Bridges and Hill stated the extra work and time
involved to secure a flood plain permit according to the regulatory
process should not be necessary in this case, as the proposed project
is well above the river channel, dearly showing the FEMA flood plain
map to be in error. Having the area removed from the flood plain will
require a lot of work and expense and will not be required to issue the
permit for the building to move forward. Hyde moved to approve the
application and permit for WYOBEN's development, the motion was
seconded and carried.
Carl Meyer, Airport Manager: Meyer presented the airport
report. Meyer ask Bridges to review the easement draft from the
Clark's. The draft document was not adequate and Meyer asked if the
county would like to offer assistance in the drafting of this easement.
After discussion, Meyer was instructed to call the FAA and ask for
their advice. Meyer presented the County Attorney's comments on
the draft lease for the Airport Museum; the lease will be revised and
presented again.
Meyer requested an executive session to discuss a potential real
estate transaction. Grant moved to go to executive session, the motion
was seconded and approved. The executive session was adjourned
with no action taken.

Michelle Burns - County Attorney: Burns stated that the coun-
ty should pursue contracting for the services of court appointed at-
torneys. Burns suggested an announcement be developed to solicit
interested parties. Burns will develop an MOU using the States MOU
as a model. Burns believes $3,000 to $4,000 per month would be suffi-

Felix Carrizales & Vangi Hackney- Big Horn County Fair Board
Chairman: Carrizales attended to discuss the finances and current
funding shortfall for the multi-purpose building. Felix ran through
the numbers and requested guidance from the Commission on what
remains to be done. Hyde stated he was under the impression that
the final bid numbers were going to Synergy by the end of June with
final project numbers to be presented to the Commission by July 15th.
Carrizales reported that fundraising is ongoing. Grant stated that
design build contracts provide opportunity for Synergy to design to
fit the funding on hand. Ewen commented on the design build pro-
cess and the nnderstanding of the Commission regarding the project.
Cardzales asked if the time line could be postponed. Ewen stated the
time line is already set, by contract, with the contractor. Carrizales
asked if the county would fund the short fall if needed. Ewen stated
that the fundraising has gone very well and there is every indication
the funding needs will be met. Carrizales inquired about a potential
promissory note, Hackney indicated a promissory note could lean on
future funding. Carrizales asked the Commission if the building will
be utilizable. Grant shared he was told the arena would be the same
size as the Thomas and Mack arena. Ewen said that they relied
on the Fair Board to ensure the building was the proper size for in-
tended use and that the work session on July 15th should have an-
swers to many of these questions. Carrizales requested that $23,500
unspent 2013-2014 budget be applied to the building. Ewen and Hyde
expressed appreciation for the fund raising efforts to date but that it
was the Fair Board's responsibility and the County does not have the
money to commit any more resources to the construction. Carrizales
expressed a desire not to let everyone down if the building is not com-
pleted as planned. Ewen expressed his desire to allow the Fair board
to transfer $23,500 left over from their 2013-2014 operating budget to
the building fund. Hyde stated he was not in favor of allowing the
transfer. The check request for 823,500 was not approved and the
funds will go back to the county general fund.
