County holds public hearing on proposed mosquito fee increase; staff proposes $80 per parcel
Summary
At a Sept. 25 public hearing, county staff proposed raising the annual mosquito-fee to $80 per parcel to cover contractor cost increases; the board closed the hearing with no additional public comment recorded.
Big Horn County held a public hearing Sept. 25 on proposed mosquito-district fee adjustments after county staff reported the fee had not been updated since the 1970s.
Accountant Mike Opie told commissioners the contractor who previously provided mosquito services retired and the new contractor’s price is higher; staff proposed an annual fee of $80 per parcel and noted parcel size would not change the per-parcel charge. Treasurer Denise Rios explained the mosquito district covers primarily the town where parcel sizes are similar. The record indicates no public opposition or additional comments; Presiding Officer Lawrence Big Hair closed the hearing.
The minutes do not record a subsequent motion or final board action on the fee; the hearing record alone reflects staff’s proposal and the closing of public comment.
