Senior Center Roof – Mr. Carver reported that the main leak at the Senior Center has been re-paired, but noted that he has ordered three more rolls of the patching material as other areas of the roof appear to be facing impending failure of the roofing material. It was noted that this par-ticular material failure has been a nationwide problem, but the warranty on the current roof has expired, so repairs will be at the County’s expense. Mr. Carver feels he can get at least one more year out of the current roof before it will need to be replaced.

Law Enforcement Center Roof – The JLEC experienced a significant roof leak last week. Repairs are underway and should be finished by the end of this week. Mr. Carver presented a proposal from Roofing Solutions, Inc. for an an-nual roof inspection contract covering the mem-brane-style roofs on various County buildings. The Commissioners asked Mr. Carver to do an inventory of the roofs and their square footage and determine an actual cost for the contract. Mr. Carver will return with those figures at the May meeting.

Museum – The sump has been cleaned and is working well. Mr. Carver wanted to let the Commissioners know what a great job the Mu-seum staff and volunteers have been doing with maintenance and upkeep of the displays and the Museum in general.

Library – Mr. Carver reported that one of the pump seal housings has been replaced. The new locksets have arrived and will be installed this month. Long Controls has a new control system available that may be a cost-effective fix for the HVAC control problems the Library has been experiencing. Mr. Carver is looking into this further for the next budget year.

Counseling Center – The repairs to the Coun-seling Center are complete and the staff has moved back into the building. Mr. Carver noted he has a short punch list of items he is working on at this time.

Road & Bridge Monthly ReportR&B Supervisor Dave Schlager reported that

they are still working on the shoulders of West Sand Draw. Blading continues as weather per-mits. Work continues to clean out cattle guards and culverts county-wide. Mr. Schlager noted he has ordered cold mix from McGarvin-Moberly and anticipates hauling of that material will be-gin towards the end of the month. The one-year walkthrough for the East River Road guardrail project was completed with only routine main-tenance issues noted.

Smith Approach Agreement – Jerry Smith has applied for an approach at 187 Lane 7. The required fee was enclosed with the application. Mr. Schlager has reviewed the application and recommends its approval. Phillip Scheel moved to approve the approach agreement between Hot Springs County and Jerry W. Smith for an ap-proach to be located at 187 Lane 7. John Lumley seconded the motion. Motion carried.

meet on April 12th. Representative Nathan Win-ters is expected to attend and give a report on legislative activities. The LUPB will meet on April 19th. They are scheduled to elect new of-ficers and resume work on the Land Use Plan revision. There is no new septic activity in the county at this time.

Youth Alternatives Monthly ReportBarb Rice reported there are currently thir-

teen participants in her program – ten males and three females. There are three juveniles from out of county, as well as three additional participants at the Boys School in Washakie County. Com-munity Service projects last month included a rummage sale and the Kiwanis Health Fair. Ms. Rice presented her quarterly Grant Reimburse-ment Request for the Commissioners’ approval. Phillip Scheel moved to approve the quarterly drawdown request for the VOA/OJJDP 2014-2015 Nonparticipating State Award Subgrant for the time period of January 1 – March 31, 2017 in the amount of $1,648.97. John Lumley seconded the motion. Motion carried. Ms. Rice reported that on March 31st she was notified her grant fund-ing was cut from $25,242.00 to $8,453.00 for the next funding cycle. She will return to the next Commissioners meeting with a proposed plan for her 2017-18 budget that will accommodate this funding loss.

Mayor-County Day of Recognition for National Service

Phillip Scheel moved to approve the Chair-man’s signature on a Proclamation declaring April 4, 2017 as Mayor and County Recognition Day for National Service. John Lumley seconded the motion. Motion carried.

Old Airport Closure MarkingsCommissioner Scheel presented a bid estimate

from Clint Huckfeldt with WYDOT to paint the Airport Closure X’s on the ends of the runway at the old airport. Phillip Scheel moved to engage WYDOT to paint the Airport Closure X’s on the ends of the runway at THP for an amount not to exceed $3,000.00, with funds to come from Emer-gency Expenditures. John Lumley seconded the motion. Motion carried.

Maternal Child Health MOU – Amend-ment

CATEGORICAL EXCLUSION DETERMINA-TION For the Town of Thermopolis, 2017 – Ther-mopolis Pipeline Replacement Project,Hot Springs County, Wyoming

The Department of Environmental Quality/Water Quality Division (DEQ) has conducted a review of the proposed 2017 – Thermopolis Pipe-line Replacement Project in accordance with EPA and State of Wyoming procedures for implement-ing the State Environmental Review Process. DEQ has determined that this project is eligible for a categorical exclusion. Accordingly, DEQ is exempting the project from further substantive environmental review requirements under the State Environmental Review Process. Neither an Environmental Assessment/Finding of No Significant Impact nor an Environmental Impact Statement/Record of Decision will be required for the proposed action. The following is a brief description of the situation and the proposed action and a brief statement of how the action meets the criteria for a categorical exclusion.

This project will replace approximately 11,500 ft. of existing drinking water transmission lines. The lines to be replaced include the lines along 5th and 7th St. between Shoshoni and Broad-way, Warren St. between 4th and 5th St., 4th St. between Warren and Broadway, and the two transmission lines running from the water treat-ment plant west to 8th St. and north under the Big Horn river along 6th St. Also to be replaced in this project are the transmission lines from Broadway St. through E. Park St. to the State Park Water Tank, and the section of transmis-sion line along Valley View Dr. between the wa-ter pump station and S.14th St. The total cost of this project will be $2,845,200.00. Funding for the project will come from Wyoming Water De-velopment Commission (WWDC) and the Drink-ing Water State Revolving Loan Fund (DWSRF) administered by the Wyoming Office of State Lands and Investments. The town will be bor-rowing $1,300,000.00 from the DWSRF. Half of the overall principal amount ($650,000.00) will be subject to a 2.5% interest rate for a 20 year term and the remaining 50% ($650,000.00) will qualify for loan forgiveness. WWDC will be pro-viding a $1,545,200.00 grant for the remaining cost of the project. The loan through DWSRF will be paid for using water revenues and/or the depreciation reserve. User rates and fees will not be affected by this construction project.

The Town of Thermopolis, Wyoming is aware of and accepts the fact that they will be respon-sible for any required mitigative actions asso-ciated with and including storm water runoff, erosion control, archeological/historic artifacts, and air quality concerns. These will be part of the standard State Revolving Funds Program contract conditions. Other than documenting the location of asbestos cement pipe and areas where asbestos cement pipe is replaced with pipe bursting, no noteworthy environmental issues, impacts, or mitigation have been identified re-garding this project.

DEQ is granting an exclusion because the project will be replacing existing infrastructure in ground that has been previously disturbed by the installation of the existing waterlines.

DEQ has determined that exempting the proposed project from further review under the State Environmental Review Process will not result in adverse impacts to the population or the area of the Town of Thermopolis and Hot Springs County, Wyoming.

The documentation to support this decision will be on file in the DEQ Casper Field Office and is available for public scrutiny upon request. Comments concerning this decision may be ad-dressed to Brian Mark, PE, SRF Principal Engi-neer, DEQ Water Quality Division, 200 W. 17th St. 2nd Floor, Cheyenne, WY 82002, telephone (307) 777-6371, FAX (307) 635-1784, email [email protected].

HAZARD MITIGATION PLANWhereas, the Hot Springs County Board

of Commissioners recognizes the threat that natural hazards pose to people and property within our community; and

Whereas, undertaking hazard mitigation actions will reduce the potential for harm to people and property from future hazard occur-rences; and

Whereas, the U.S. Congress passed the Di-saster Mitigation Act of 2000 (“Disaster Mitiga-tion Act”) emphasizing the need for pre-disaster mitigation of potential hazards; and

Whereas, the Disaster Mitigation Act made available hazard mitigation grants to state and local governments; and

Whereas, an adopted Multi-Hazard Mitiga-

tion Plan is required as a condition of future funding for mitigation projects under multiple FEMA pre- and post-disaster mitigation grant programs; and

Whereas, the fully Hot Springs County Board of Commissioners participated in the FE-MA-prescribed mitigation planning process to prepare this Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan; and

Whereas, the Wyoming Office of Homeland Security and the Federal Emergency Manage-ment Agency Region VIII officials have re-viewed the “WYOMING REGION 6 REGIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN” and approved it contingent upon this official adoption of the participating governing body; and

Whereas, the Hot Springs County Board of Commissioners desires to comply with the re-quirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act and to augment its emergency planning efforts by for-mally adopting the WYOMING REGION 6 RE-GIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN; and

Whereas, adoption by the governing body for Hot Springs County demonstrates the ju-risdiction’s commitment to fulfilling the miti-gation goals and objectives outlined in this Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan; and

Whereas, adoption of this legitimatizes the plan and authorizes responsible agencies to carry out their responsibilities under the plan,

Now, therefore, be it resolved, that the Hot Springs County Board of Commissioners adopts the WYOMING REGION 6 REGION-AL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN on this 21st day of March, 2017.

Multi-purpose Building Insulation Is-sues

Phillip Scheel brought up “condensation” problems on the insulation that was installed by Atlas roofing. The major problem causing the “sagging” insulation is the water on top of insulation. Multiple conversations have taken place over the past few years. Wade Lippincott stated the amount of water accumulation in the fair building is astonishing. Tom Ryan voiced his concerns about the insulation not touching the metal and not being installed correctly. Dis-cussion included multiple issues and possible solutions and all parties agreed to meet at a later date for a work session to resolve issues.

Tax RebateCounty Assessor Shelley Deromedi present-

ed the following rebate for the Commissioners’ approval:

1. Rebate #8-16 – Parcel #4086 for the tax year 2016 (District 100)-Kummerfeld, Inc. – two pieces of heavy equipment located on Coal Mine Draw Road. Kummerfeld had sold this personal property to Grass Creek Coal Com-pany in the fall of 2015, so this assessment to Kummerfeld was in error, resulting in overas-sessment of $27,532. This necessitates a rebate of taxes for 2016 on Parcel #2959 of $1,779.28. No reassessment to Grass Creek Coal Compa-ny as the company went bankrupt. Tom Ryan made motion to approve Rebate #8-16 to Kum-merfeld, Inc. for tax year 2016 in the amount of $1,779.28. Phillip Scheel seconded the mo-tion. Motion passed.
