Summary
At its Jan. 3–4 meetings, the Lincoln County Board of Commissioners appointed officers for 2023, adopted an investment policy and chief‑deputy salary resolution, authorized WYDOT and HRRR agreements, and approved multiple subdivision and plat filings. Vote tallies were not recorded in the transcript.
The Lincoln County Board of Commissioners on Jan. 3–4 adopted a series of routine but consequential administrative and land‑use measures.
Commissioner Connelly moved to approve a modified consent agenda and the board adopted the motion. The board then approved motions appointing Commissioner Jerry Hansen as Commission Chairman and Commissioner Connelly as Vice Chairman and authorized the chairman to sign the 2023 Application for Deposit of Public Funds and the Statement of Investment Policy. County Treasurer Jerry Greenfield was appointed Investment Officer for 2023, the board adopted a resolution setting the 2023 meeting schedule (with a Jan. 17 start time adjustment and a move of the July meeting to July 5), and the board adopted a resolution establishing chief‑deputy salary rules for certain elected offices (Clerk of Court, Treasurer and Assessor chief deputies at 80% of the elected official’s salary; chief deputies in the Clerk’s Office at 70%).
The Jan. 4 consent calendar included numerous land‑use actions the board approved by motion: File 101 MA 23 (Northwinds Subdivision) with Findings and a development agreement; File 431 SS 22 (Quaky Hollow); File 432 SS 22 (Wild Rose Estates); File 103 AP 23 (Partial Vacation of Road Easement, Moose Hollow Second Filing); File 207 MS SS (Good Neighbor Subdivision Third Filing, Phase I); File 209 MS 22 (Valley Springs II Subdivision); and Files 817 and 818 (Auburn Townsite filings). The board also authorized signing HR23305, the agreement between WYDOT and Lincoln County for HRRR FY23 Digital Signage & Delineators (federal $45,245; local match $4,755; total $50,000) and approved appointing Special Prosecutor Clayton Melinkovich for a conflict matter.
The transcript records the motions and that each motion “was adopted” but does not provide vote tallies or names of any seconds. Where the transcript omitted numeric vote records or seconds, the minutes show only that the motions were adopted. The board accepted Commissioner assignments for 2023 and later adjourned.
What happens next: several items (notably the road‑type grades clarification discussed by staff and surveyors) were flagged for further process; the board directed follow‑up on the Comprehensive Plan and other planning work.
