Summary
The board unanimously approved a memorandum of understanding with the University of Wyoming and annual compensation agreements for county 4‑H staff, including 4‑H educator Natasha Holtmeyer and staff associate JL Johnson.
The Sweetwater County commissioners unanimously approved on July 1 the University of Wyoming Extension memorandum of understanding for 2025–2026 and two annual compensation agreements for county 4‑H staff.
Natasha Holtmeyer, Sweetwater County 4‑H educator, and JL Johnson, staff associate, joined the meeting. Holtmeyer outlined upcoming fair and volunteer training work and said the office is preparing judges, volunteers and recognition events ahead of county fair season. “We have several projects. Obviously, we're working on fair, and getting opportunities set up for our youth and making sure we have judges secured and things like that,” she said.
Nut graf: The MOU and compensation agreements formalize the county’s relationship with the University of Wyoming Extension for 4‑H programming and authorize the county’s annual payments to staff positions.
Commissioner Tillman moved and Commissioner Jones seconded approval of the MOU and the two compensation agreements. The board approved both measures unanimously.
Ending: Extension staff thanked the commissioners for their ongoing support and reminded the public about fair season volunteer needs; commissioners noted the agreements were represented in the consent/action packet and required no separate budget amendment.
