Discussion: William gave the commissioners an update
regarding the Harold Shepard lease at the south airport. He said there
is no salvage work being done at this time and William said he plans
on putting the agreed upon signs up next week. William also told the
commissioners the airport is now paying for garbage pickup at the South
Airport. Commissioners asked about the Mountain Construction bill
that the county has been holding for some time. William said he hasn't
been able to talk with Mountain Construction yet and asked commis-
sioners to hold on to the bill until William hears from them.
Decision: Commissioner Ewen called for a break from 10:30
a.m. to 10:40 a.m.
Discussion: Doug Miwamoto from the state agriculture
department and William Bridges, Pryor Mountain Engineering, met
with the commissioners to discuss, request and prepare a letter for the
commissioners to sign which is addressed to the Governor Matthew
Mead concerning the recent flooding. This letter declared Big Horn
County to be an agri-business disaster due to flood damage. The letter
will be forwarded to Washington D.C.
Decision: Commissioner Grant moved, seconded by Com-
missioner Hinman, all were in favor and the motion carried, to pass
and sign Resolution #5, 2011-2012, asking the governor for disaster
relief for flooding damage in Big Horn County. The resolution is on file
in the county clerk's office.
Discussion: William Bridges and Mike Calvin, Pryor Moun-
tain Engineering, and Rod Wambeke and Jerry Denniston, Road and
Bridge foremen, met with the commissioners to give updates on the
roads that received flood damage in Big Horn County. John Hyde,
emergency management coordinator, said they toured the areas with
FEMA the previous week. The FEMA representative for our county is
Steve Turner. William said some flood damage sites may not qualify
for disaster money, however, a summary report and map will be forth-
coming. Some of the damage is still underwater and will be assessed
at a later date. William will prepare a worksheet for bridge sites that
also need to be added to the FEMA list. William will prepare a flood
damage repair priority list for the commissioners to review prior to
adding the funds to the budget for the various repair projects. FEMA
will reimburse the county at a later date.
In other business William said the project specifications are
nearly complete for the Cold Springs Road project. William will report
back to the commissioners to inform them of the cost of finishing the
Cold Springs Road project. William said he would also follow up with
Michelle Burns, county attorney, on the status of negotiations for re-
imbursement of damages to the Crystal Creek Bridge.
Decision: After receiving a recommendation from Rod
Wambeke, Commissioner Grant moved, seconded by Commissioner
Hinman, all were in favor and the motion carried, to approve the fol-
lowing permits:
• Town of Cowley, for a potable water line replacement, located
at T.S. 57N., R. 97W., Sections 26, 27 & 28, Lane 7 1/2 and T.S. 57N.,
R. 97W., Section 25, Road 5.
Decision: Commissioner Hinman moved, seconded by Com-
missioner Grant, all were in favor and the motion carried, to adjourn
for lunch at 12:00 p.m. and re-convene at 1:00 p.m.
Discussion: Maria Eastman, grants administration, met
with the commissioners on various grant issues. She gave an update
on the Brownfield/Lovell Refinery project. Maria also gave an update
on the State Land and Investments (SLIB) Board meeting and listed
the various projects that did not qualify. Maria will get alternate proj-
ects to consider at a later date. Maria informed the commissioners
that the Lovell Library grant file was not handed over by the previous
grants administration and that the file could not be located. She also
reported that the file for the Washington Park restroom project was
incomplete. The former grants administration had recommended that
the two grants should be closed out even though unpaid bills were still
pending. Maria will be able to get the supporting documentation for our
files from the state. Maria said the grant for the library windows (ERG-
Funds) was approved in chapter 32 consensus block monies. Maria
will look for the $16,054.60 shortfall through other grant opportunities.
Maria spoke with Brandy Davison, Volunteers ofAmerica (VOA), who
agreed to have grants administration prepare the reimbursement re-
quests with all details and reports supplied by Brandy. Maria also met
with the sheriff's office to discuss better coordination regarding grants
administration. Maria also told the commissioners of some workshops
that might be advantageous to county personnel.
Decision: Commissioners signed the request for reimburse-
ment #7 for the Big Horn County Firewise Grant.
Decision: Commissioners agreed that the wage correction
for the Courthouse Boiler Energy Retrofit II grant project would have
to be paid out of the general fund instead of the grant because the
prior grants administration had not required the plumbing contractor to
follow the Davis-Bacon wage requirements. Maria will draft a letter to
the state for commissioners' signatures at their next meeting.
Decision: The revival of the Wyoming Business Council Hyat-
tville Community Center CDBG grant is underway. This will extend the
grant until November 1,2011, to allow for completion of the project.
Discussion:, Cynthia Johnson and Janell Metro, South
Big Horn County Senior Citizens Center, and Maria Eastman, grants
administration, met with the commissioners to discuss the consensus
block grant and to ask if Maria would write a grant for new windows at
the senior center. They told commissioners that they may come to them
in the near future for a new water main to the center also. Janell said
she presented pictures of the back parking lot to the previous grants
administration and Maria has not been able to locate them.
Decision: Janell asked that road and bridge inspect the
Senior Citizen Center parking lot, as it will require repair in the near
future. She said it might need to be topped or may need to be pulled
up entirely. Maria said she would research possible grants which might
provide funding for new asphalt for the parking lot.
Decision: GinaAnderson,Assessor, presented the Big Horn
County Report of Valuations, Levies and Taxes to the commissioners
along with a resolution for approval. Commissioner Hinman moved,
seconded by Commissioner Grant, all were in favor and the motion was
