Commissioners approve board appointments, get update on airport snow removal and bank-account changes

Pondera County commissioners on Jan. 22 approved two citizen appointments to county boards, received an update that airport snow-removal arrangements have been approved but remain unsigned, and discussed ongoing administrative items including bank-account updates and a forthcoming bridge-yardage quote.

During the board-appointments portion of the meeting Commissioner 1 said Jamie Burns had agreed to serve on the health board and that another appointment would place Ross in a separate board seat (the transcript does not specify the second board’s formal name). Commissioner 1 moved to approve both appointments; another commissioner seconded and the motion carried with an "Aye" vote. The transcript does not record individual vote tallies.

On airport operations, Commissioner 1 asked about the status of the county’s ongoing airport snow removal. A county representative said the plan "is all ready to go" and that it had been approved but not yet signed. No formal vote or action to finalize signature authority was recorded.

The commission also discussed a minor hiccup in updating bank accounts: the county attorney had reviewed the matter and additional signatures are required; commissioners said they would meet to complete signatures. Commissioner 1 reported the road department had been busy plowing snow and noted that Frosty had called for a dump number to obtain a yardage quote potentially related to replacing a bridge with culverts; that quote "should be forthcoming," the transcript states.

Commissioner 1 moved to adjourn; the motion carried after an "Aye" vote.
