Commissioners Approve Chip-Seal Final Acceptance, Riverview Notice to Proceed and Rehire of Legal Secretary
Summary
The board accepted final completion and a one-year warranty for the county chip-seal project, approved a notice to proceed for Riverview Road reconstruction, authorized rehiring a Riverton legal secretary (up to $50,000), and approved a $1,500 indigent burial payment.
The Fremont County Board of County Commissioners cleared several routine but consequential items during the meeting.
The board accepted the certificate of final completion for the countywide chip-seal project and approved a one-year warranty from the contractor. One commissioner registered a dissenting "no" on a subsequent warranty vote, but the motion carried.
Commissioners approved a notice to proceed for Alexander Excavation to begin work on Riverview Road reconstruction, including tree removal and water-management tasks. The board also approved a $1,500 payment to Davis Funeral Home for an indigent burial and moved to hold a lodging/VRBO reimbursement item pending budget clarification.
On personnel, the commission authorized the county attorney to repost and rehire a Riverton legal secretary, setting the salary range up to $50,000 and directing staff to fill the vacancy promptly.
Why it matters: These items advance capital roadwork and maintain routine county services; the hiring authorization restores core legal-office capacity and the chip-seal warranty secures a contractor commitment to correct deficiencies.
What—s next: Staff will proceed with contract notices to Alexander Excavation, finalize warranty paperwork for the chip-seal contractor, and begin the recruitment process for the legal secretary post.
