paid by the county through the Wyoming Women, Infants, and Chil-
dren (WIC) program.
Decision: Commissioners agreed that Susan would need
to ask for an addendum to the state contract to add the 15% increase
that was discussed and to reiterate that the state reimburses the
county 100% through state funding. The amended contract shall
state that accrued vacation and sick time will be reimbursed at 100%
regardless of when the contract year ends.
Discussion: Deb McKim and Becky Lindsey, Treasurer,
met with the commissioners. Deb presented asummary of county

torney stating that prospective buyers of county leases are respon-
sible for their own verification of information contained on the website.

future use if needed. The master oil and gas lease for the county
has been received from Nicol Kramer, and Michelle Burns, county
attorney, Dori Noyes, county clerk, and Deb McKim all have copies.
It was determined that further discussions need to take place prior to
reaching an agreement of terms of any lease. Deb said the NEPECO

Kramer, oil and gas attorney in Casper, is negotiating the Legacy oil

changes to the Legacy lease. Deb reported that she is waiting for

Becky Lindsey said she turned over the NEPECO lease to
John Frentheway, deputy attorney, who suggested that a memoran-
dum of understanding (MOU) be prepared for NEPECO to consider
signing. This MOU will state the current status of default taxes and
interest. They discussed various royalty interests that may be put on
