Cheyenne County commissioners approve quick-claim deed with Saint Francis, adopt local disaster proclamation and solid-waste plan
Summary
The Cheyenne County Board of Commissioners moved through routine agenda items and approved a quitclaim deed with the City of Saint Francis, adopted resolution 26-04 proclaiming a local disaster emergency, and approved resolution 26-05 adopting the 2025–2026 solid-waste management plan.
The Cheyenne County Board of Commissioners voted to execute a quitclaim deed with the City of Saint Francis and approved two resolutions on routine county business.
In a brief set of motions, the board moved and seconded a motion to execute a quitclaim deed between Cheyenne County and the City of Saint Francis; the chair called the motion and commissioners responded, approving the deed. A separate motion to approve resolution 26-04, proclaiming a local disaster emergency for the area, was also moved, seconded and adopted by voice vote.
Why it matters: The deed formalizes the county’s property transfer with the city and the disaster proclamation can enable coordination and documentation should county staff need to seek or track emergency resources.
During the meeting staff also presented the proposed solid-waste management plan for 2025–2026. The plan includes personnel and committee membership updates, an annual financial testing requirement for 2025, and a membership note related to Bird City. The board moved and seconded approval of resolution 26-05 and approved it by voice vote.
Commissioners handled several additional routine actions. The board approved minutes and warrants earlier in the meeting, approved payment of annual dues to the County Improvement Consortium (CIC), and approved NRP project rebates after staff reported progress on open items.
Commissioner and staff remarks during the public reports included an update on a recent tax-foreclosure sale, which a speaker said had strong turnout and that all properties sold. Staff also noted interest from a rail company now identified as OmriTrak in properties that were sold.
The board did not record individual roll-call tallies in the meeting transcript; votes were taken by voice and recorded as 'aye' when the chair called for them. The meeting record shows the board approved the deed and both resolutions and moved forward on the items above.
The board discussed next steps on logistics and documentation and scheduled follow-up tasks; no additional formal votes were taken on those follow-ups during the transcripted portion.
