Approve Bills The following bills were submitted for approval: (see attached). Payroll for August, 2012 - $166,281.06. Maintenance Monthly Report Maintenance Foreman Chuck Carver reported that the intermittent problem with the elevator appears to be corrected. There have been some issues with the water heaters in the courthouse. Two water heaters have been replaced in the last month, one in the jail and one in the basement. The basement 50 gallon water heater was been replaced with a 20 gallon unit after it failed. Mr. Carver asked about sidewalk repairs in front of the library. He estimates a full repair will cost approximately $2000.00, and asked if money had been allocated in the budget for this. The Commissioners said that this repair had not been allocated for in the Capital Improvements budget. Mr. Carver will look into less expensive options for at least a temporary fix for the problem. The energy audit is nearly complete. The final audit report for the WYECIP project is scheduled for presentation at the October 2^nd Commissioners meeting. Mr. Carver and Emergency Management Coordinator Bill Gordon discussed the new emphasis on the FBI rules requiring outside contractors to either submit to fingerprinting and background checks or be under direct supervision of qualified employees while working in secure areas of the law enforcement center. The Commissioners asked the County Attorney to draft a resolution addressing this matter for consideration at the October 2^nd Commissioners meeting. The Commissioners and Admin Herdt discussed preparations for the groundbreaking ceremony on the September 13^th with Mr. Carver and Road & Bridge Foreman Ray Shaffer and asked for assistance with those preparations from their departments. Road and Bridge Monthly Report Road & Bridge Supervisor Ray Shaffer reported that most of the material in the agreement for the Brown Pit has been used, so he will be negotiating another agreement with the Browns for more material in the near future. The chipping project is complete. The leftover chips will be staged on Missouri Flat or Cowboy Mine Road to keep livestock out of them. Second mowing of rights of way has been completed. Repeat spraying of goatheads is currently underway. Blading of various county roads is complete at least until more moisture is received. Work continues on bridge repairs. Mr. Shaffer indicated that, as a result of some research this summer, new roads will have a 4% pitch and will incorporate some clays to increase the plasticity index of the road material, which should lead to an increase in longevity of the road surface. 1 The County has received a request to remove a cattle guard on Lane 12. Mr. Shaffer has no problems with the Commissioners approving the request. Mike Baker moved to authorize Road & Bridge to remove the cattle guard on Lane 12 as requested. John Lumley seconded the motion. Motion carried. Upcoming projects include replacing and cleaning around cattle guards, installing approved approaches and participation in an auction on September 22^nd at the Fairgrounds to dispose of various odds and ends and extraneous county equipment. Youth Alternatives Monthly Report Director Alan Rossler reported he currently has 15 participants in the diversion program and one person on supervised probation in his program. He is working with Ms. Thoren, the new high school guidance counselor, to start an "at-risk" group for high school students, which will include some of his current program participants. Mr. Rossler reviewed the VOA-OJJDP Grant proposal which he presented for the Commissioners' approval. He has increased the amount of money requested in the grant by about $5,000.00 due to both an increasing number of participants and new information reporting requirements. The OJJDP has new definitions regarding juvenile diversion programs, and Mr. Rossler's discussions with VOA Division Director Craig Fisgus indicate that Hot Springs County's program meets the new definitions. After some discussion regarding the workload imposed by the new reporting requirements and input from the County Attorney, John Lumley moved to approve the grant application as presented in the amount of $35,410.00, with the $3,750.00 submitted for Data Collection to be moved to the Director's salary if the grant is approved in full. Mike Baker seconded the motion. Motion carried. Mr. Rossler will provide the corrected grant application to Chairman Basse for signature. Mr. Rossler thanked all the county departments involved with his program for their help and cooperation. Public Hearing – Owl Creek Water District Land Use Change Chairman Basse opened the public hearing for the Owl Creek Water District Land Use Change Request at 11:00 a.m. Owl Creek Water District is asking for a change of use from Agricultural to Institutional for a roughly 1.0 acre parcel of land to be used as the site for a pump station as part of the District's proposed domestic system. Planner Bowman reviewed the request and reported that the Land Use Planning Board had forwarded the request with a unanimous Do Pass recommendation that included three conditions for approval. After reviewing the application and the conditional recommendation, Mike Baker moved to approve the Change of Use request from Agricultural to Institutional use for a one acre parcel by the Owl Creek Water District for a pumping station for the domestic water system, with the following conditions: 1. Parking and driveway areas to be surfaced in gravel or a similar material to reduce dust. 2. Exterior lighting shall be limited to one fixture near the building entrance, shielded and downcast, and this fixture shall not be placed on a timer. If additional exterior lighting is proposed in the future, a lighting plan shall first be submitted for the review and approval of the LUPB. This lighting plan shall provide for illumination while minimizing the number, direction, and intensity of light fixtures when viewed from off-site. 3. A Weed Management Plan shall be submitted for the review and approval of staff. John Lumley seconded the motion. Discussion: the Commissioners then completed the Absolute and Relative Policy checklists for the land use change request. The final scoring was positive. The question was called. Motion carried. DAR Constitution Week Proclamation Representing the Washakie Chapter of the DAR, Ruth Clare Johnson and Kay Rush appeared to request the Commissioners to sign a Proclamation designating September 17–23, 2012, as Constitution Week in honor of the 225^th anniversary of the signing of the Constitution. Ms. Johnson also provided the Commissioners with copies of a pamphlet on the Bill of Rights. John Lumley moved to approve the Constitution Week Proclamation as follows: PROCLAMATION WHEREAS: The Constitution of the United States of America, the guardian of liberties, embodies the principles of limited government in a Republic dedicated to rule by law; and WHEREAS: September 17, 2012, marks the two hundred twenty-fifth anniversary of the framing of the Constitution of the United States of America by the Constitutional Convention; and WHEREAS: It is fitting and proper to accord official recognition to this magnificent document and its memorable anniversary; and to the patriotic celebrations which will commemorate it; and WHEREAS: Public Law 915 guarantees the issuing of the Proclamation each year by the President of the United States of America designating September 17 through 23 as Constitution Week; 2 NOW, THEREFORE, I, Brad Basse, by virtue of the authority vested in me as Chairman of the County Commissioners of the County of Hot Springs, in the State of Wyoming, do hereby proclaim the week of September 17 through 23 as CONSTITUTION WEEK AND ask our citizens to reaffirm the ideals the Framers of the Constitution had in 1787 by vigilantly protecting the freedoms guaranteed to us through this guardian of our liberties. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the County of Hot Springs to be affixed this 4^th day of September in the year of our Lord two thousand twelve. Signed: Brad W. Basse, ChairmanAttest: Hans Odde, County Clerk Hot Springs County Board of Commissioners Mike Baker seconded the motion. Discussion: Commissioner Lumley asked Ms. Johnson and Ms. Rush to extend the Commission's thanks to Marilyn Strausborger for her presentations on the Constitution to area schools. Mike Baker expressed thanks and gratitude on behalf of the County to Ms. Johnson for her dedication and efforts on behalf of Constitution Week. Motion carried. Emergency Management Monthly Report Emergency Management Coordinator Bill Gordon presented a final quote for the E911 Upgrade for the Commissioners' approval. The total cost will be $30,909.00, and funds will come from the E911 Reserve account. Mike Baker moved to approve Option 1 – Customer-Supplied Software/Equipment, Amcon- Supplied Licenses/Installation for the E911 upgrade in the amount of $30,909.00. John Lumley seconded the motion. Motion carried. Mr. Gordon notified the Commissioners that they would be receiving a Homeland Security Grant reimbursement check for items purchased and paid for by the Hospital, and asked that the Commissioners reimburse the Hospital for that payment. Clerk Odde asked that the Hospital submit an invoice for the items and a letter of explanation for payment at the October 2^nd meeting. Mr. Gordon distributed the current drought information from the National Weather Service office in Riverton. Public Hearing – Liquor License Renewals Chairman Basse declared the public hearing for liquor license renewals for Stone's Throw, The Flying Dutchman, and Wind River Canyon Grill open at 11:45 p.m. Clerk Odde reviewed the license applications. There is a problem with Clyde and Jennifer Fisher's application for the Stone's Throw license, in that the name of the applicant differs slightly from the name on the lease for the restaurant. The state liquor division has suggested approving the license on the condition that the name on the lease is changed to that on the application. Clerk Odde indicated that he is working with Mr. and Mrs. Fisher to get the discrepancy corrected. Law enforcement reports no major problems with any of the applicants in the past year. After three calls for public comment, receiving none, Chairman Basse declared the hearing closed at 11:50 a.m. John Lumley moved to approve the liquor license application from Clyde and Jennifer Fisher dba Stone's Throw Restaurant, contingent on correcting the name discrepancy on the lease. Mike Baker seconded the motion. Discussion: as this issue should have been caught on the original application by the Liquor Division personnel, and was not, it seems unfair to expect the Fishers to pay the advertising and transfer fees when the name discrepancy is corrected. Motion carried. John Lumley moved to approve the application from Violet M. VanBuskirk dba Flying Dutchman. Mike Baker seconded the motion. Motion carried. Mike Baker moved to approve the application from Super Toadies, LLC dba Wind River Canyon Grill. John Lumley seconded the motion. Motion carried.

FAA Request for Reimbursement #9 – AIP #02 – Clerk Odde presented FAA Request for Reimbursement #9 for the Commissioners' approval. John Lumley moved to approve FAA Project 3-56-0043-02 RFR #9 in the amount of $84,551.00. Mike Baker seconded the motion. Motion carried. Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) Approval – Dusty Spomer presented the SWPPP for the Commissioners' approval. This plan permit will be issued to the County and transferred to the various project contractors as needed and back to the County upon completion of work by the contractor(s). Mike 3 Baker moved approval of the SWPPP and accompanying Notice of Intent for the new airport construction. John Lumley seconded the motion. Motion carried. Groundbreaking - Mr. Spomer gave an update on preparations for the groundbreaking ceremony to be held Thursday, September 13^th starting at noon. A local business has been contracted to produce the "Future Home of .." sign, but it will not be completed by September 13^th. A mock-up of the sign was submitted for the Commissioners' consideration. Any suggested revisions will be circulated via email for review prior to finalizing the sign. Presented with three choices, the Commissioners selected Blair's Market to provide the food for the ceremony. The program will be circulated via email for review prior to printing. GDA will provide the generator for the sound system. Mr. Spomer will visit with Ray Shaffer regarding assistance from Road & Bridge with the groundbreaking ceremony Project Updates – The Phase 1 project is currently out to bid. Bids are due by 9:00 a.m. on September 18. The pre-bid meeting will be September 6^th at 2:00 p.m., beginning at the Annex meeting room, ending with a site tour. Mr. Spomer indicated he met with Charlie Holden earlier to work out details of the Phase 1 project, including road placement, fencing, water, power and construction easements. Most of these items have been resolved – fence plans are approved, the documents regarding changes to the power have been completed by Mr. Holden and are ready for submission to the power company, etc. There is still some discussion regarding the number of cattle guards needed and their placement on the roads, and there are still some unresolved issues regarding the water situation. Provisions for the monitoring of the Holden's water system have been added to the Phase 1 documents. GDA is asking for temporary construction easements from the Holdens at this time. GDA is currently working on bid documents for the Phase 2 project and hopes to have it out to bid around October 1^st. There will be a scoping meeting for the Phase 2 project next Wednesday morning. GDA will set up a time and call-in number and send out the information via email. Mr. Spomer reported that the FAA has agreed to consider expenses for the Disinterested Third Party for the relocation negotiations as reimbursable expenses. Phase 1 Independent Fee Estimate – The next step in the Phase 1 project is obtaining the Independent Fee Estimate required by the FAA. Mike Baker moved to authorize Clerk Odde to obtain the IFE for the Phase 1 project, to include design, bidding and construction administration. John Lumley seconded the motion. Motion carried. THP-11B Amendment – This state grant description did not include construction, so the description will be corrected and the amendment submitted at a later date. Special Prosecutor Request County Attorney Jerry Williams requested that the Commissioners appoint a Special Prosecutor for an investigation performed by the DCI, as he is involved in the matter as a potential witness. John Lumley moved to appoint Park County Attorney Brian Skoric as the Special Prosecutor in a case involving County Attorney Williams as a witness. Mike Baker seconded the motion. Motion carried. Lane 3 Update Engineering Associates representative Anthony Barnett reported the inlet box has been placed in the manhole at the intersection, and should be backfilled by the end of today. Sewer and water lines are in. The storm drain should be complete by the end of the week. Boelens Well Service has recently requested a ¾" service line from South Thermopolis Water & Sewer, which they will pay for, as it was not requested previously as part of the Lane 3 project. Boelens Well Service will need to get an easement from Ryan Brothers before proceeding with this, as the water service line will cross Ryan Brothers' property from Lane 3 to the Boelens property. Mr. Barnett reviewed Pay Estimate 1 for the project as submitted for the Commissioners' approval. John Lumley moved to approve Pay Estimate #1 to Dave's Asphalt in the amount of $142,812.90. Mike Baker seconded the motion. Motion carried. County Road 19 Right of Way Vacation Discussion Everett Jones appeared before the Commissioners to request that the County abandon its right of way on County Road 19 across his ranch east of Red Hole Road. Planner Bo Bowman has done some research into the matter and reported that it appears there are two or three county road easements across the ranch property for this road. Tom Anderson spoke against abandonment of County Road 19 at least from East River Road to his property. Commissioner Lumley expressed his reluctance to abandon a road that future Commissions might feel they have a need for. Chairman Basse asked Mr. Jones what the impetus was for his request. Mr. Jones replied that he would like to regain control over access to his property and 4 pointed out that the county has never done any maintenance work on the road during the time he has owned the ranch. Planner Bowman asked that, if abandonment of the right of way was highly unlikely, the decision be made now before any more time and effort is invested. Extensive discussion ensued with input also received from Dale Nuttall with Wyo-Ben. Chairman Basse asked that Mr. Bowman make a reasonable effort to clarify the situation regarding easements on Road 19 and return with a report at the October 2^nd meeting. No decision was made on vacation of the Road 19 County right of way at this time. Planner Monthly Report Planner Bo Bowman reported that the Land Use Planning Board will not meet this month. The NRPC will meet next week on the 12^th. Septic season is winding down this year. Seventeen permit applications have been distributed, seven have been returned and approved, and six have been completed and inspected. The BLM-Meeteetse Draw agreement is still in progress and will be submitted for review at a later date.

Clerk Odde asked that the Hospital submit an invoice for the items and a letter of explanation for payment at the October 2^nd meeting.
Mr. Gordon distributed the current drought information from the National Weather Service office in Riverton.

Public Hearing – Liquor License Renewals

Chairman Basse declared the public hearing for liquor license renewals for Stone's Throw, The Flying Dutchman, and Wind River Canyon Grill open at 11:45 p.m. Clerk Odde reviewed the license applications. There is a problem with Clyde and Jennifer Fisher's application for the Stone's Throw license, in that the name of the applicant differs slightly from the name on the lease for the restaurant. The state liquor division has suggested approving the license on the condition that the name on the lease is changed to that on the application. Clerk Odde indicated that he is working with Mr. and Mrs. Fisher to get the discrepancy corrected. Law enforcement reports no major problems with any of the applicants in the past year. After three calls for public comment, receiving none, Chairman Basse declared the hearing closed at 11:50 a.m. John Lumley moved to approve the liquor license application from Clyde and Jennifer Fisher dba Stone's Throw Restaurant, contingent on correcting the name discrepancy on the lease. Mike Baker seconded the motion. Discussion: as this issue should have been caught on the original application by the Liquor Division personnel, and was not, it seems unfair to expect the Fishers to pay the advertising and transfer fees when the name discrepancy is corrected. Motion carried. John Lumley moved to approve the application from Violet M. VanBuskirk dba Flying Dutchman. Mike Baker seconded the motion. Motion carried. Mike Baker moved to approve the application from Super Toadies, LLC dba Wind River Canyon Grill. John Lumley seconded the motion. Motion carried.

Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) Approval – Dusty Spomer presented the SWPPP for the Commissioners' approval. This plan permit will be issued to the County and transferred to the various project contractors as needed and back to the County upon completion of work by the contractor(s). Mike

Baker moved approval of the SWPPP and accompanying Notice of Intent for the new airport construction. John Lumley seconded the motion. Motion carried.
Groundbreaking - Mr. Spomer gave an update on preparations for the groundbreaking ceremony to be held Thursday, September 13^th starting at noon. A local business has been contracted to produce the "Future Home of .." sign, but it will not be completed by September 13^th. A mock-up of the sign was submitted for the Commissioners' consideration. Any suggested revisions will be circulated via email for review prior to finalizing the sign. Presented with three choices, the Commissioners selected Blair's Market to provide the food for the ceremony. The program will be circulated via email for review prior to printing. GDA will provide the generator for the sound system. Mr. Spomer will visit with Ray Shaffer regarding assistance from Road & Bridge with the groundbreaking ceremony
Project Updates – The Phase 1 project is currently out to bid. Bids are due by 9:00 a.m. on September 18. The pre-bid meeting will be September 6^th at 2:00 p.m., beginning at the Annex meeting room, ending with a site tour. Mr. Spomer indicated he met with Charlie Holden earlier to work out details of the Phase 1 project, including road placement, fencing, water, power and construction easements. Most of these items have been resolved – fence plans are approved, the documents regarding changes to the power have been completed by Mr. Holden and are ready for submission to the power company, etc. There is still some discussion regarding the number of cattle guards needed and their placement on the roads, and there are still some unresolved issues regarding the water situation. Provisions for the monitoring of the Holden's water system have been added to the Phase 1 documents. GDA is asking for temporary construction easements from the Holdens at this time. GDA is currently working on bid documents for the Phase 2 project and hopes to have it out to bid around October 1^st. There will be a scoping meeting for the Phase 2 project next Wednesday morning. GDA will set up a time and call-in number and send out the information via email. Mr. Spomer reported that the FAA has agreed to consider expenses for the Disinterested Third Party for the relocation negotiations as reimbursable expenses.
Phase 1 Independent Fee Estimate – The next step in the Phase 1 project is obtaining the Independent Fee Estimate required by the FAA. Mike Baker moved to authorize Clerk Odde to obtain the IFE for the Phase 1 project, to include design, bidding and construction administration. John Lumley seconded the motion. Motion carried.
THP-11B Amendment – This state grant description did not include construction, so the description will be corrected and the amendment submitted at a later date.

Special Prosecutor Request

County Attorney Jerry Williams requested that the Commissioners appoint a Special Prosecutor for an investigation performed by the DCI, as he is involved in the matter as a potential witness. John Lumley moved to appoint Park County Attorney Brian Skoric as the Special Prosecutor in a case involving County Attorney Williams as a witness. Mike Baker seconded the motion. Motion carried.

Lane 3 Update

Engineering Associates representative Anthony Barnett reported the inlet box has been placed in the manhole at the intersection, and should be backfilled by the end of today. Sewer and water lines are in. The storm drain should be complete by the end of the week. Boelens Well Service has recently requested a ¾" service line from South Thermopolis Water & Sewer, which they will pay for, as it was not requested previously as part of the Lane 3 project. Boelens Well Service will need to get an easement from Ryan Brothers before proceeding with this, as the water service line will cross Ryan Brothers' property from Lane 3 to the Boelens property. Mr. Barnett reviewed Pay Estimate 1 for the project as submitted for the Commissioners' approval. John Lumley moved to approve Pay Estimate #1 to Dave's Asphalt in the amount of $142,812.90. Mike Baker seconded the motion. Motion carried.

County Road 19 Right of Way Vacation Discussion

Everett Jones appeared before the Commissioners to request that the County abandon its right of way on County Road 19 across his ranch east of Red Hole Road. Planner Bo Bowman has done some research into the matter and reported that it appears there are two or three county road easements across the ranch property for this road. Tom Anderson spoke against abandonment of County Road 19 at least from East River Road to his property. Commissioner Lumley expressed his reluctance to abandon a road that future Commissions might feel they have a need for. Chairman Basse asked Mr. Jones what the impetus was for his request. Mr. Jones replied that he would like to regain control over access to his property and

pointed out that the county has never done any maintenance work on the road during the time he has owned the ranch. Planner Bowman asked that, if abandonment of the right of way was highly unlikely, the decision be made now before any more time and effort is invested. Extensive discussion ensued with input also received from Dale Nuttall with Wyo-Ben. Chairman Basse asked that Mr. Bowman make a reasonable effort to clarify the situation regarding easements on Road 19 and return with a report at the October 2^nd meeting. No decision was made on vacation of the Road 19 County right of way at this time.

Planner Monthly Report

Planner Bo Bowman reported that the Land Use Planning Board will not meet this month. The NRPC will meet next week on the 12^th. Septic season is winding down this year. Seventeen permit applications have been distributed, seven have been returned and approved, and six have been completed and inspected. The BLM-Meeteetse Draw agreement is still in progress and will be submitted for review at a later date.
