At the April 1 meeting the Big Horn County Commission approved accounts payable, adopted a midyear Transfer of Funds resolution and addressed several personnel and contract matters.
Deputy clerks Marquerite VanDyke and Carol Willard presented an accounts payable register that included vendor payments ranging from routine utilities to larger invoices (for example, XYBIX Systems, Inc. for $43,198.47 and the University of Wyoming for $18,878.25). Commissioner Dave Neves moved to approve the accounts payable as presented; the motion was seconded and carried.

On contracts, commissioners discussed the final payment request from North Garage Door. Neves moved to pay $4,000 of the final $5,000 bill with the balance to be paid upon completion of warranty work; the motion was seconded and carried.
