[2:39]
She
>> started when she was 10. [laughter]
[2:46]
All right.
Item five is public comments on matters
[2:50]
not on the agenda. And Mr. Pollock
signed up to speak on this.
[3:09]
» Good morning,
chair commissioners. My name is Harry
[3:12]
Pollock and I'm a citizen of Sheridan
County.
[3:15]
Uh, a few legitimate questions deserve
answers regarding the ballot handc count
[3:19]
uh, audit that took place on last
Saturday, August 29th.
[3:24]
Um, why was Clint the deputy county
attorney asking observers about who
[3:28]
called Chuck Gray, our secretary of
state, and publicly identifying the
[3:32]
county commissioner as a person he
believed made the call? What legitimate
[3:37]
purpose did that serve? and why publicly
single out that county commissioner if
[3:42]
not to publicly defame that county
commissioner.
[3:45]
Uh the election had already been
certified. Uh there were no voters
[3:49]
casting ballots and the ballots contain
no voter names. Yet observers were
[3:54]
required to obey photocopied notices
stating no phone use and no recording
[3:59]
devices with the threat of removal for
taking pictures.
[4:03]
Even more troubling came high in the
acting deputy clerk and Clint Beaieber
[4:07]
the county deputy attorney handed
observers a copy of the Wyoming
[4:11]
constitution article 6 section 11. It is
titled manner of holding elections
[4:17]
highlighting the sentence all voters
shall be guaranteed absolute privacy in
[4:22]
the preparation of their ballots and the
secrecy of the ballot shall be made
[4:27]
compulsor.
But where were the voters whose ballot
[4:32]
uh preparation privacy supposedly needed
protecting?
[4:36]
This was a post-election handc count
audit of anonymous ballots.
[4:42]
It certainly raises the questions
whether the highlighted constitutional
[4:46]
provision was being used to intimidate
citizens from from photographing or
[4:51]
documenting a public government process.
And if government officials are
[4:57]
restricting citizens from recording what
they are permitted to observe, that
[5:01]
raises serious first amendment
transparency questions under the US
[5:05]
Constitution as well. Transparency
builds confidence. Intimidation and
[5:10]
unnecessary restrictions destroyed.
Thank you.
[5:15]
» Thank you for your comments, Mr.
Pollock. They are part of the official
[5:19]
record. All right. Moving on to item
six. We will consider the revised mutual
[5:26]
aid agreement between Sheridan County,
Wyoming and Big Horn County, Montana for
[5:30]
emergency service mutual aids. And I'll
call Jesse Ludicouse, emergency
[5:33]
management coordinator
[5:43]
before you today. It's a mutual aid
agreement between Cary and Big Horn
[5:48]
County, Montana. The purpose of this
agreement is straightforward. It
[5:52]
provides a formal process for our two
counties to assist one another when an
[5:57]
emergency, disaster, wildfire, or other
significant event exceeds the resources
[6:02]
available within each jurisdiction.
It allows us to request and provide
[6:08]
personnel, equipment, supplies, and
other emergency resources while clearly
[6:13]
identifying responsibilities for
command, cost, insuranceances, and the
[6:19]
return of those resources.
This board has approved this agreement
[6:23]
previously. [clears throat] After that
approval, it went through the required
[6:26]
state review process and the attorney
general's office requested some
[6:31]
additional language. Those changes have
now been incorporated, which is why the
[6:36]
agreement is back before you today.
The agreement specifically requires a
[6:41]
review and approval by the attorney
general of Wyoming and Montana.
[6:46]
The important point is that the main
intent of this agreement has not
[6:50]
changed. It continues to provide a
framework for Sheridan County and Big
[6:54]
Horn County to help each other quickly
and effectively when additional
[6:59]
emergency resources are needed.
That'll stand it for any questions.
[7:04]
» Any questions for Jesse?
>> Madam Chair, Commissioner Denn.
[7:09]
» Um just a quick question more
clarifying. Um under section six it
[7:15]
talks about supervision and control
resources and it says that it uh goes to
[7:20]
the designated supervisory personnel
which u section five is is you you're
[7:24]
the authorized representative. Correct.
>> Correct.
[7:27]
» Is is there a level of resources um that
we're either offering or asking where um
[7:34]
you would come before the commissioners
for approval or is that just complete? I
[7:38]
think we're going to give it your hands.
um for those quick authorizations. No,
[7:43]
it'll go right to me for uh just to to
provide those emergency resources. But
[7:49]
uh we if those resources were requested
just as we do for individual aid u out
[7:55]
of county resources, we would I would
let Cameron know and then you would
[8:00]
inform you guys of of the emergency
that's taking place and the requests
[8:04]
that have been made.
>> Okay. Thank you. I appreciate that. Um
[8:07]
and yeah and to point out on here we
provision said it says withdrawal of
[8:10]
resources. So at any time if the
commission decides that you are that
[8:15]
this is not something that we want to
assist with or it's not in our purview
[8:19]
or for whatever the reasons are you can
make that that request and we can
[8:24]
immediately withdraw those resources at
any moment.
[8:26]
» Okay. Thank you
>> Madam Chair.
[8:29]
» Yes. I move to approve and authorize the
chair to sign the revised mutual aid
[8:33]
agreement between Sheran County, Wyoming
and [clears throat] Big County, Montana
[8:37]
for emergency services mutual aid.
Second
[8:41]
» a motion and a second. Any discussion?
>> Uh I guess I didn't uh get a chance to
[8:48]
chime in here. The term there's there's
no term to revisit this. Do you guys uh
[8:54]
get together as a joint like every
couple years and and look this over
[8:59]
because it's the term is it's
incorporated right now.
[9:03]
» That is correct. Yeah, it it won't uh
change unless there's a reason to remove
[9:08]
it um as it specifies in there the
emergency manager. So their emergency
[9:12]
manager and I will create some kind of
standard operating procedure for how
[9:17]
this will look going forward. And um at
any moment in time um any two any of the
[9:23]
two uh agencies with 30-day notice can
withdraw from this agreement.
[9:30]
» Yes.
>> Any other discussion?
[9:32]
» Madam Chair.
>> Yeah.
[9:34]
» I um I actually am in favor of this kind
of uh agreement because as we've seen in
[9:40]
the past couple years, fires can go over
borders very quickly and um different
[9:46]
states. So, I'm glad to see us working
together with other states to try and
[9:50]
help each other out. I'll be in favor of
this.
[9:54]
Any other discussion? Okay, hearing
none. All those in favor, please signify
[9:58]
by saying I. I.
>> Those opposed? Motion carries. Thank
[10:01]
you, Kelsey.
Item seven is to consider a Sheridan
[10:06]

MBU for a board crossing installation of
[10:12]
underground power line at County Road
104 aka River Road and I'll call in Ken

license just for the singlephase high
[10:25]
voltage line uh under river road.
Have any other particulars? We just need
[10:32]
to get power on the other side of the
road.
[10:35]
» Okay.
I would look for a motion.
[10:39]
» Madam chair.
>> Yes. Commissioners,
[10:41]
» I move [clears throat]
to approve and authorize the chair to
[10:45]
sign Cher County license agreement 2625
LA with MDU forward to crossing
[10:51]

previous one. It's a singlephase high
[11:23]
voltage line. Uh, the board under Bird
Farm Road.
[11:36]
Yes, Commissioner Jennings. I

[11:39]

[11:59]
Item nine is to consider the landowner
conservation district agreement for the
[12:03]
Sheridan County Tiny River Clean Burn
Stream Stabilization Water Quality
[12:07]
Improvement Project. We'll call on Ken
Muller again.
[12:09]
» Yeah, Madam Chair, this uh agreement is
with us and the conservation district.
[12:14]
As you board knows, we went out for uh
some grant funding to help us repair our
[12:21]
portion of Tongue River there inside the
Clean Burn Recreational Area that's got
[12:25]
a large cut and erosion going on.
happened for years. Uh we were
[12:30]
successful in that.
The total amount of grams is 375,000.
[12:36]
And you can see in the budget
justification how that breaks down
[12:43]
with the Wyoming
wildlife trust 300,000
[12:51]
Wing game and fish funds of 40,000 and
then a program
[12:57]
SWPP
for 35,000 that makes up for 175,000.
[13:03]
This project is estimated to be about 6
to6,000. Uh we have project plans all
[13:09]
done, contract documents. We're ready to
go to bid.
[13:14]
The the bulk of the money will come from
the county if you choose to approve this
[13:20]
to build that project. So
[13:25]
» question.
>> Okay. Madam Chair, um can just for for
[13:30]
the public, can you give a little bit
more information on why this project is
[13:34]
necessary specifically in regards to the
bridge and road?
[13:39]
» Yeah, it's uh several things happening
here. You know, about 2009, we moved
[13:45]
County Road over because the ro river
was encroaching on the road. So, we
[13:50]
moved the road over to get away from it,
but we didn't do anything to mitigate
[13:55]
the erosion. Uh, and then it's trying to
bypass the Acme Bridge. It's trying to
[14:01]
go around it. And so we started looking
at this with the conservation district
[14:06]
about I don't know four or five years
ago. They said this qualifies for some
[14:11]
of their funding to to do this kind of
work. So we started looking the project
[14:16]
then.
Yeah, if we don't do something, it'll
[14:19]
just continue to try to river will try
to migrate east and try to bypass that
[14:24]
bridge
>> and get into the road again about
[14:28]
[clears throat] to move the road again.
>> Thank you,
[14:33]
» Madam Chair. No.
>> Move to approve and authorize the chair
[14:38]
to sign a landowner/conservation
district agreement with the Sharer
[14:41]
County Tongue River Clean Burn Stream
Stabilization
[14:45]
Water Quality Improvement Project.
>> Second motion and a second. Any
[14:51]
discussion?
I I have a question for you. Um would I
[14:55]
need to recuse myself since I sit on the
wildlife trust board that provided some
[14:59]
funding for this project?
Okay. I think so, but I I double check.
[15:05]
All right. Um, all those in favor,
please signify by saying I.
[15:10]
» Those opposed? Motion carries.
[15:17]
Moving on to item 10, which is consider
resolution 2609063,
[15:24]
notice intent to vacate a half width of
alley between block three and four in
[15:29]
the town of Ludor subdivision in
unincorporated story, Wyoming, located
[15:34]
in the south half of section 8, township
53 north, range 83 west. And I'll call
[15:38]
on Ken Miller, county engineer.
Yeah, Madam Chair, hopefully the board
[15:44]
remembers not too long ago you denied a
petition to vacate
[15:51]
half part of the alley and a full width
of the alley adjacent to these two lots,
[15:56]
the same two lots. Since the people have
petitioned to only vacate half of the
[16:03]
alley, the alley is 40 foot wide. They
want to vacate
[16:08]
20 foot of the 40 foot wide across those
lots. If you recall, there was a couple
[16:13]
objections from land owners that felt
that there was a need to get through
[16:17]
there publicly and and that's why you
decided to deny that previous one. So,
[16:25]
this is just notice again that run its
course with the advertisement to the
[16:30]
public and it'll take if there's any
written objections again. have to deal
[16:36]
with at that time.
>> Any questions for not? I'd look for a
[16:41]
motion.
>> Chair.
[16:43]
» Yes, Commissioner D.
>> I move to approve and authorize the
[16:46]
chair to sign resolution 6009063

[16:52]
between block three and block 4 in town
subdivision and uninccorporated story
[16:57]
Wyoming located in the south 1/2 of
section 83
[17:02]
north range west. Sorry.
[17:08]
Thank you.
Did you guys have anything to come up
[17:12]
and
>> you want us to come up?
[17:14]
» You don't need to. I But you're more
than welcome.
[17:18]
» Sorry. Pretty straightforward.
Yeah. Three of you. Three of you came
[17:24]
out to see property. Okay.

saw this, it looks like the
[17:42]
» the petitioners have gone the extra mile
to try to alleviate some stress between
[17:48]
the neighborhood neighbors and
themselves and I think they've done a
[17:51]
really good job. So I'm going to be in
favor of this motion.
[17:55]
» Madam Chair, yes.
>> I'm also going to be in favor. I I want
[17:58]
to thank the land owners for allowing us
to come out and look at his property and
[18:02]
kind of explain it. I wasn't here for
the last vote. Um but for this one, I'm
[18:07]
in favor and um as I as I looked at that
uh alleyway, it it is it does not look
[18:15]
like it's ever been used. So, I'll be in
favor of this.
[18:19]
All right. Any other discussion? All
those in favor, please signify by saying
[18:23]

[24:22]
» Have a motion and a second. Any any
other discussion?
[24:26]
only madam chair only that if we have to
have development this is what I'd love
[24:30]
to see it's a conservation design
subdivision that leaves like our
[24:38]
friend Mark Reed said leave 70% of the
land untouched pretty pretty much so
[24:44]
that's what I like to see personally
>> yes
[24:48]
» yeah
any other discussion hearing not all
[24:52]
those in favor please signify by saying
I I those opposed motion carries
[24:59]
» I did at 9:24.
>> Yep.
[25:02]
» Madam chair.
>> Yes.
[25:03]
» Just just
uh just to the county a little bit here.
[25:08]
Uh so we've had conservation design
subdivisions in effect since 2012. We've
[25:13]
had nine different proposals
uh that have conserved over a thousand
[25:20]
actually 149 acres conserved in that
time and well just establishing 72 home
[25:27]
sites. So that to me is it's a a mark of
something that's been popular and and
[25:35]
accomplishing several goals as our
comprehensive plan over the years. So
[25:41]
there's not a lot of counties going out
considering thousand acres while still
[25:46]
allowing to improve. So
>> just kudos to you guys.

[29:12]
Do we have any comments from the public?
[29:17]
Okay.
[29:21]
Going to close the public hearing at

[29:26]
Um I would look for a motion. Madam
chair,
[29:31]
[clears throat]
[29:34]
» I move to approve item CU-26-02
Morgan machine shop CU with
[29:40]
[clears throat] the poor conditions as
recommended by the planning and zoning
[29:43]
commission.
>> Second.
[29:45]
» Oh, we've given it to Commissioner.
[laughter]
[29:48]
» All right, we have a motion in a second.
Any discussion?
[29:51]
» Madam Chair,
>> Commissioner Jennings,
[29:53]
» I'm so [clears throat] in favor of this.
I'm really excited to see some machine
[29:57]
shop uh going on because it's certainly
something that I think is county in
[30:02]
favor of this.
>> Any other comments? Hearing none. All
[30:06]
those in favor, please signify by saying
I.
[30:09]
» I. Those opposed? Motion carries.
>> Our last item is to consider R26002
[30:17]
BB properties reszone and I'll call on
Margarit again.
[30:23]
» Not least.
Thanks for hanging in.
[30:27]
» Thank you.
[30:35]
» EB Properties LLC by manager has applied
to resolve 36.74 acres. Uh address is
[30:44]
441
Avenue state highway 332. Uh it's
[30:49]
currently zone A agricultural after
proposes to resone UR urban residential.
[30:56]
The sub parallel is contiguous in the
city of Sheridan on the north. Urban
[31:00]
residential zoning on the east and south
and the airport to the west. A single
[31:07]
family dwelling and associated buildings
exist on this property. Beyond these
[31:12]
structures, the unplanned part is
undeveloped but with the intent of
[31:16]
subdividing in the future. You have a
concept plan as part of your application
[31:22]
packet as
building a potential 11 lot conservation
[31:28]
design subdivision. Uh this far was in
the past as urban residential uh when
[31:35]
the county first adopted zoning back in
1985 and had been resone to cultural in
[31:43]
1991.
[31:50]
So I think it's important to note that
the uh future land use map of our plan
[31:57]
indicates
a future res urban residential
[32:02]
designation for this property.
[32:06]
So in that vein it would be consistent
with at least that portion of the
[32:12]
comprehensive plan. Um
you'll note [clears throat]
[32:18]
proposed new zoning uh includes a a wide
variety of residential uses um beyond
[32:27]
what the agricultural zoning does at a
density that's certainly much higher
[32:32]
than the a zone. Uh so planning
commission uh planning and zoning
[32:39]
commission um had a public hearing on
this and considered this application and
[32:44]
recommended on a vote 4 to zero to
approve uh this item. So
[32:51]
that's all I have at this point. Madam
Chair, this should should this be
[32:55]
reszoned, it is their intent, as I
noted, to come back with a subdivision
[32:59]
application
um
[33:03]
as shown in their application packet and
the details of that subdivision would be
[33:09]
hashed out at that time including water
rights, water, domestic water, sewage,
[33:18]
access to state highway, etc. So things
are detailed so we come at a later time.
[33:23]
» Okay. Thank you. Um this requires a
public hearing and I'm going to open it
[33:28]
up at 9:33.
Vice chairs are here. Thanks for being
[33:32]
here this morning. Um do we have any
comments?
[33:39]
No. Okay. [laughter]
Quiet crowd today. Right. I'm going to
[33:44]
go ahead and
call at 9:34.
[33:49]
Um, and I would look for a motion.
>> Madam Chair,
[33:55]
» yes, Commissioner R.
>> Move to approve item R-26-002
[34:02]
BB properties reszone as recommended by
planning zoning commission. Second
[34:07]
motion and a second. Any discussion?
Commissioner Jennings. Yeah.
[34:11]
» Um, first of all, I wanted to thank uh
two of our planning and zone
[34:16]
commissioners for being here. Uh,
It's very tabbu in in here. But um you
[34:24]
know I'll be in favor of this right now.
But there are some questions that I have
[34:28]
that like uh Margaret said hopefully
will be answered. One of which is the
[34:33]
access to the highway because uh that is
fairly fairly important area. There's a
[34:40]
lot of people that are really concerned
about it. So looking forward to see what
[34:44]
y'all come up with.
>> Right. Any other comments, questions?
[34:49]
Hearing none. All those in favor, please
signify by saying I. I. I.
[34:53]
» Those opposed. Motion carries.
And with that, we are adjourned at 9:35.
[34:59]
