At its April 29 meeting the Park County Commission recorded the following formal actions and outcomes.

- FY 25–26 STOP Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) grant: Approved submittal of the county’s VAWA application to continue funding the position that provides direct services to victims. Staff said the grant typically covers about 75 percent of the position and the county provides an approximate 25 percent match (including in‑kind costs such as office space). (Motion passed by voice vote.)
- Public Health Emergency Preparedness cooperative agreement (DHHS): County concurred with state submission to federal DHHS for public health emergency preparedness funds (approximately $40,000 annually to the county). (Motion passed by voice vote.)

- Substance use disorder treatment and prevention allocations (FY24–25 remainder): Approved reallocation after one provider declined funds; staff explained the remainder of funds will be split 50% / 25% / 25% among the remaining local providers for the fiscal year. (Motion passed by voice vote.)
- EP automation (Stampley) agreement: Approved a month‑to‑month contract for a web‑based invoice‑workflow service (roughly $2,000/month) with a 30‑day cancellation provision; May was provided free as a trial month. (Motion passed by voice vote.)
- SunLink easement: Approved an access easement (the commission amended the draft to remove a sunset clause so the easement is permanent); the agreement includes coordination on maintenance and a stop sign at the Chicken Creek Lane junction was discussed as a follow‑up. (Motion passed by voice vote.)
Other motions
- Gardner Utility PedBridge (Staley task order): County attorney requested additional review and asked to table the item; commissioners voted to table the Staley task order until May 6. (Motion to table passed by voice vote.)
- Meeting minutes: Approved minutes for Jan. 7 and Jan. 14, 2025. (Motion passed by voice vote.)
- Department updates: Commissioners agreed to postpone department updates until next week. (Motion passed by voice vote.)
Votes and procedure notes: Most items passed by unanimous voice vote; the meeting record shows “All in favor? Aye” for the recorded motions. Several items had minimal discussion and were forwarded with staff recommendations. A small number of items (notably the FEMA project reclassifications and the Gardner task order) drew extended public comment or were tabled for later review.
