REPORTS

Crook County Sheriff Deputy Bush reported 99 incidents for August.

Gari Gill, Fire Chief, reported that the EMS door and locks have been installed. The volunteer fire fighters have the option now to go with the same health insurance as the Wyoming Sheriffs’ Offices. Would like to replace Engine 2 with a rescue truck. Engine 2 did not pass the flow test. Would like to put it up for auction and use the money to buy another unit.

Mac Erickson, Public Works Director, reported that he doesn’t have any options yet for the Littke Property. Found leak in the pool and hope to get it fixed soon. Working with Wolff’s on water filling station at the Sundance Square.

Jeremy Holt, Economic Development, reported that they have been working with Crook County and learning from them as to how they will be doing the SS4A grant. The board will be meeting again in a few weeks.

Theresa Curren, Clerk Treasurer, reported that Leo Riley and Co auditors were in the office for a site visit for two days last week. They made a few suggestions and we are working on them. One new form that we will be using is one that we borrowed from the county, which is a New Hire/Status form for employees. We have started saving our reports electronically to the server now instead of printing them. It saves trees and it helps the auditors or anyone for that matter to search for a certain word or number. The F66 audit is almost done and is due on September 31, 2024. The whole office has been putting in a lot of time and effort to get the Mineral Royalty Grant done for the 3rd Street Waterline Project. The next NEWY meeting is scheduled for September 14, 2024.

Mark Hughes, City Attorney, asked about the Cost Share Agreement with Mountain View Adventures.

Mayor Brooks reported that he will be in Laramie the second week of September to speak on behalf of the City and Old Stoney for the Wyoming Business Council Rehabilitation grant.

Meeting adjourned 7:31p.m.
