Amoco Reuse Agreement Joint Powers Board authorizes counsel and presses LGM for overdue FY27 budget
Summary
At its Feb. 11 meeting in Casper, the Amoco Reuse Agreement Joint Powers Board approved routine items, authorized retaining outside counsel at the executive director’s discretion and pressed LGM management for an overdue FY27 budget while discussing operations at Three Crowns Golf Club.
The Amoco Reuse Agreement Joint Powers Board on Feb. 11 approved the minutes of its Jan. 14 meeting and the February treasurer’s report, entered and exited an executive session, and voted to authorize retaining outside counsel at the discretion of Executive Director Rob Hurless.
The board met at 6:00 p.m. at The Refinery at Three Crowns in Casper. Chairman Jim De Golia presided; five members were present (De Golia, Mike Layton, Eric Nunn, David Starcevich and Shane Close), and three members provided proxies to De Golia. Motions to approve the minutes and the treasurer’s report passed with all members in attendance voting in favor.
Why it matters: the board’s authorization to retain counsel and its oversight questions about contractor management and budgets could affect operations at Three Crowns Golf Club and property stewardship decisions across Amoco Reuse Agreement holdings.
Details of routine business and oversight Rob Hurless, the board’s executive director, presented the February 2026 Treasurer’s Report, which summarized the board’s checking and investment accounts and listed current vouchers. Hurless said a meeting with First Interstate Bank was scheduled the week of Feb. 16 to review investment accounts and seek improved returns. The board voted to accept the treasurer’s report and pay the bills (motion by Eric Nunn; second by Shane Close).
Operational concerns at Three Crowns Jeff Kelly provided the committee report on Three Crowns, saying closures had left activity and revenues minimal and that he supplied new dashboard screenshots. Kelly told the board that expense reporting was difficult because expenses were recorded in a different system; he said LGM, the contracted manager, is exploring API access to enable more timely revenue and expense reporting. Kelly said LGM is continuing a search for a new general manager and that he would be responsible for training the incoming GM; board members urged that a structure be put in place to preserve organizational culture if Kelly departs.
The board emphasized cost containment — including payroll and general-and-administrative expenses — and measures to increase revenue such as revised membership pricing and stronger marketing. Board members also said they are still awaiting LGM’s FY27 budget; the minutes record the budget as overdue but do not specify an amount.
Executive session and counsel At 6:48 p.m. the board voted to enter executive session (motion by Shane Close; second by Mike Layton) and exited the closed session at 7:28 p.m. Following the closed session the board approved a motion (mover: Close; second: Layton) to retain outside counsel at the discretion of Executive Director Hurless. The motion carried with all members in attendance voting in favor.
Next steps Board members moved several operational items — including further discussion of the FY27 budget and GM transition planning — for follow-up at subsequent committee meetings. The board adjourned at 8:24 p.m.; its next regular meeting is scheduled for March 11, 2026, at 6:00 p.m.
