Fremont County commissioners approve routine payments, contracts and permit extensions
Summary
At a regular meeting, Fremont County commissioners approved a slate of routine payments and contracts, updated an employee wellness contract, accepted an insurance plan language change for ABA therapy coverage, and extended a franchise permit for Charter Communications as it pursues a $5 million broadband project.
At a meeting of the Fremont County Board of County Commissioners (date not specified), commissioners approved multiple routine payments, contract renewals and permit actions, including a five-year franchise extension for Charter Communications and changes to the county employee health plan.
The actions included approval of payments to Cloud Peak Counseling Center ($2,600) and Wyoming Behavioral Institute ($33,930); approval of a 2025 wellness contract for Fremont County employees; approval of an ASO group-plan amendment to remove an ABA therapy exclusion and add language in the mental health/substance-use disorder care section; and the formal extension of Charter Communications’ county permit through Feb. 10, 2030. Commissioners also approved a small purchase from leftover election funds to buy tables, chairs and related items for an election warehouse and accepted a donated 2010 water truck for the Fremont County Fair through the fair’s 501(c)(3) partner.
Why this matters: the votes maintain routine county operations, affect employee benefits, and clear a permit path for a county broadband project that the franchised provider says will serve about 1,003 addresses.
Details and context: payments and small contracts were moved and seconded and carried by voice vote; commissioners routinely approved the wellness contract and the ASO change so the county’s group plan will remove the ABA therapy exclusion and add coverage language to the mental-health/substance-use section.
