Summary
On Feb. 21, Lincoln County commissioners adopted a broad consent agenda — approving minutes, interagency agreements, cooperation with OKLO on DOE applications and an opioid settlement MOA — and appointed a special prosecutor for a Game and Fish case.
Lincoln County commissioners on Feb. 21 adopted a multi-item consent agenda that included minutes, assessment-roll adjustments, vendor vouchers and several interagency and healthcare agreements, and they authorized county cooperation with energy developer OKLO on Department of Energy applications.
The board voted to accept the OneWyo Opioid Settlement Memorandum of Agreement and directed the vice chairman to sign the agreement. "We will participate in OneWyo as written," Chairman Hansen said when he moved acceptance (via video). The motion was adopted.
Commissioner Connelly moved to approve the consent agenda items, which the board adopted; Commissioner Bower moved to have the chairman sign an amendment to the Lincoln County Medical Plan, and that motion was also adopted. The board approved a letter of support to the School of Energy Resources at the University of Wyoming for the Wyoming DAC Hub Pilot-Center Cooperative and signed an interagency agreement between Lincoln County Child Development Association and Lincoln County Public Health.
The board also voted to authorize Lincoln County to work with OKLO in pursuing Department of Energy applications related to siting and potential recycling or manufacturing activities for nuclear fuel. Mary Crosby, county grant writer, briefed commissioners on OKLO siting requirements and other energy-related grant eligibility issues.
In personnel and contract actions the commissioners approved a Letter of Agreement with Cigna/Health EZ and Columbia Ogden Medical Center and authorized the vice chairman to sign it. The board passed a resolution appointing Dan Erramouspe as a special prosecutor to assist Lincoln County in a Game and Fish case.
The meeting record shows motions were made by named commissioners and "motion was adopted" in each case; the minutes do not include roll-call tallies for these items.
The meeting adjourned at 4:33 p.m.; any corrections to the minutes will be recorded in the next meeting’s minutes.
