Carbon County ends backup sanitarian MOU with Big Horn County; plans replacement with Stillwater County
Summary
Carbon County commissioners voted Jan. 20 to terminate a Memorandum of Understanding for backup sanitarian services with Big Horn County; county staff said the agreement will be replaced by an MOU with Stillwater County. The motion passed; the minutes do not list a vote tally.
Carbon County commissioners voted on Jan. 20 to terminate a Memorandum of Understanding providing backup sanitarian services with Big Horn County, and county staff said the agreement will be replaced by an MOU with Stillwater County.
The action occurred during the 9:00 a.m. agenda item on environmental health. Environmental Health Lead Barbara Krizek told the board the existing MOU with Big Horn County will be replaced by one with Stillwater County. Commissioner Bill Bullock moved to terminate the Notice of Backup Sanitarian Services MOU with Big Horn County; Commissioner Scott Miller seconded. The minutes record that the "motion carried." The minutes do not provide a tally of yes, no or abstain votes.
Why it matters: backup sanitarian agreements help ensure continuity of public-health inspections and support when county staff are unavailable. Replacing a county partner can affect response protocols, points of contact and reimbursement or cost-sharing arrangements.
What was said and next steps: Krizek noted the replacement with Stillwater County but did not provide a timeline in the minutes. The record indicates county staff will proceed with the replacement MOU; the minutes do not list further terms or the exact effective date of termination or the new agreement. The county clerk's minutes served as the meeting record.
