Commissioners appoint Paul Hoverson to Recreation Commission after interview
Summary
After a brief interview, the Fremont County commissioners appointed Paul Hoverson to a three‑year term on the county recreation commission; Hoverson told commissioners he brings hands‑on farm, ranch and search‑and‑rescue experience and wants to focus on youth outdoor recreation.
The Fremont County Board of County Commissioners appointed Paul Hoverson to a three‑year term on the county recreation commission after an interview that included questions about project experience, budget familiarity and availability.
Hoverson, who said he has been a Riverton resident for 12 years and previously worked in the oil field, told commissioners he has hands‑on experience with equipment, fencing, road recognition and facility repairs and said he wants to help expand outdoor recreation opportunities for youth. “What I wanna put most of my time towards is improving our community for the up and coming and to set our kids up for enjoying the outdoors,” Hoverson said.
Commissioners asked about prior board experience and attendance; Hoverson said he had not served on a board before but is a local search‑and‑rescue volunteer and would attend board training. Commissioners moved and seconded to appoint Hoverson; the motion passed.
Why it matters: The recreation commission oversees trails, parks and community outdoor programming; commissioners noted Hoverson’s hands‑on background and local availability as reasons the appointment would help with maintenance and projects.
Next steps: Commissioners said they expect the recreation commission chair or staff to contact Hoverson about the next meeting and onboarding details.
